Gryżyna

Poland / Lubuskie / Krosno Odrzanskie /

German: Griesel.
Before World War II, the owners of Gryżyna village were the Hohenzollerns. Oak alleys planted by them, so characteristic for the landscape of the Park are not only nature monuments, but also a symbolic memorial of the family's presence, the family's, which managed the nature wisely and with respect for its rights.

Between Gryżyna and Bytnica villages there is a lagging of the Gryżyna Landscape Park. Pine grows on both sides of the road. The forest becomes alive when there time comes for berries and mushrooms. Even people from Silesia, the Mazowsze and whole Germany region come here at this time.

Forests of the Gryżyna Landscape Park are rich in animals - you can be sure of it after some wandering through the forests. Beasts are sometimes seen escaping from people, but it is easier to find traces left in the moist and soft soil. There are immersions, puddles and morasses at the edges of streams and pools, where water drifts. The plastic marshland often keeps the shape of a boar or deer, which took mud baths, taking a mud-costume which saves from annoying heat or insects.

The Gryżyna Lake belongs to the cleanest (zeroes class purity) and the most beautifully located waters in the region of the Oder River. It is situated in the northern part of the picturesque Gryżyna Landscape Park. The lake has no surface inflow, however it contacts with the underground waters.
