Kajaktur I Polen Kajaktur i NØ Polen Da jeg jo flere gange har nævnt at det var muligt at tage på kajaktur i Poland har jeg skrevet/copy/pasted en introduktion til jer her, så du kan se, hvorfor det kunne være så fedt at tage til Polen og ro. Læs dette dokument på nettet så du kan se alle de links jeg har sat ind. Destination: Masurian Lake Distrikt The Mazurski Landscape Park embraces the central Mazurian Lake district, known as the “green lungs” of Poland.With numerous lakeside resorts in the area, this is the most popular holiday destination for Poles. With almost a third of its 50,000 hectares (124,000 acres) accounted for by water, the park has the largest number of lakes – more than 1,000 – in the region, many of which are linked by rivers and canals. The area contains national parks sheltering various rare species of flora and fauna. Lake ¸uknajno, near Mikolajki, is listed as a World Biosphere Reserve, and is a nesting ground for mute swans among other rare breeds. Only marked trails can be followed in this protected area. One of the best ways to explore the “Land of the Great Masurian Lakes” is by a locally hired yacht, canoe or kayak. The peaceful town of Mràgowo, with its 18th-and 19th-century architecture, is an ideal base, as is engaging Olsztyn. (Fra Insight guide to Poland - The masurian Lake District) The Mazury region, also known as the Land of the Great Masurian Lakes is situated around 250 km from Warsaw. The largest of the lakes are the Sniardwy and Mamry. The region is a true paradise for canoers and sailors. There is, however, also enough entertainment for both nature and history lovers. Krutyn is a small town in the Puszcza Piska (Pisz Forest), through which a river of the same name flows. This river, along with several lakes, creates the most picturesque kayak route in Poland. The next town worth touring is Popielno, situated right on the Sniardwy Lake - a lake so huge, that you cannot see the opposite bank. Mikolajki - the pearl of the region - is situated on 2 lakes - Mikolajki and Talty. The next Masurian holiday resort is the town of Gizycko (Lötzen). (Fra Visit Poland) Mikolajki town in the Masuria Lake area. Link til kortet. Her ses Puszcza Piska skoven og knudepunkterne: Mikolajki, Mragowo og Gizycko. Samt de nævnte byer: Ukta og Sorkwity.

Krutynia is one of the most scenic low- lying trails of Europe. The route leads through the Piska Forest and The Masurian Landscape Park. The kayaking course runs down the Krutynia River as well as across the Great Masurian Lake District. Scattered along the banks is a well-developed networks of riverside hostels and campsites. Such trips down Krutynia River are a huge attraction of the region, and the river itself is considered the most picturesque kayaking routes in Poland. That's why it remains very popular with lowland kayakers and is thus the most visited route in Masurian Region. To a great extent, primeval nature has been preserved here.

Hovedvejen følges indtil til Gdynia (nær Gdansk). Det er i øvrigt et udmærket sted at stoppe op og pausere den. Fra Gdynia følges hovedvej ”7/E 77” via Elblag. I Ostróda drejes mod vest og vejen følges via Olsztyn til Mikolajki. When to go/climate Due to the country’s lengthy coastline, the climate in Poland varies between oceanic and continental. Therefore, weather conditions are subject to change. From May until October Poland enjoys beautiful weather. In March spring begins – a little windy and rainy and averaging -1–15°C. In May to June temperatures rise to 21°C and remain as such through the summer. August can be very warm with temperatures often climbing beyond 30°C.

  • Hymenoptera: Apiformes) in the Narew National Park
    POLSKIE P I S M O ENTOMOLOGICZNE P O L I S H JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY VOL. 75 : 511-538 Bydgoszcz 31 December 2006 Bees (Hymenoptera: Apiformes) in the Narew National Park JÓZEF BANASZAK Institute of Biology and Environmental Protection, Kazimierz Wielki University, 12 Ossoli ńskich Av., 85-093 Bydgoszcz, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT . In wetlands and adjacent habitats in the Narew National Park (northeastern Poland), 125 species of Apiformes were recorded. The bee diversity of the area was distinguished by very high contributions of Andrenidae (particularly of Andrena s. str.) and Apidae, but relatively low contributions of Megachilidae and Anthophoridae. Characteristic species include Bombus jonellus , while Andrena fulva has its easternmost locality there . KEY WORDS: wild bees, Apoidea, Apiformes, Narew National Park, wetlands . INTRODUCTION The Narew National Park comprises the valley of the middle section of the river Narew in northeastern Poland (about 50 km northwest of the Białowie ża Forest). This is one of the largest and best-preserved areas of wetlands in Poland. The wetlands cover over 95% of the bottom of the Narew valley. The Narew NP includes a 35-km-long section of the river, between Sura ż town in the south and the village of Rz ędziany in the north (Fig. 1). This section of the river has numerous anastomosing distributaries, i.e. streams that leave and link up again with the main river, forming an irregular, complicated network. The Narew valley within the Park is flat and waterlogged, and its width ranges from 2 to 4 km (Banaszuk 2000, Gradzi ński 2001).

Nowoursynowska 159, 02-776 Warszawa; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: In July 2002, 33000 ha of pine forest in north-eastern Poland were hit by a hurricane. Since spring 2003, a survey on carabid assemblages inhabiting the damaged stands has been carried out. The Carabidae fauna of affected stands in the Pisz Forest Dis- trict was compared with that of non-affected stands in the Maskulińskie Forest District. In both stand types 15 plots in 5 age classes were established (3 plots in each class): class I (20–40 years old), II (40–50), III (50–60), IV (60–80) and V (above 80 years old). The dis- turbance contributed to a profound decrease in carabid abundance, although carabid spe- cies richness was significantly higher in the damaged stands compared to the control ones. Both a cluster analysis and CCA analysis clearly distinguished between the post-hurricane and control assemblages. The hurricane considerably reduced the proportion of forest Eu- ropean autumn breeding and hygrophilous species individuals in carabid assemblages. Moreover, a marked decline in MIB (Mean Individual Biomass) and SPC (Sum of Progres- sive Characteristics) index in the disturbed stands was observed. An inverse trend was no- ticed for hemizoophages, open-habitat and xerophilous species individuals, which increased in abundance significantly in stand openings.

Coleoptera, Carabidae, species number, ecological traits, forest specialist species, long-winged, short-winged species, carabids, Białowieża primeval forest Abstract. A comparison was made of the number of species, species diversity and ecological traits of carabid beetle (Coleoptera: Cara- bidae) assemblages inhabiting Białowieża Primeval Forest (National Park) and adjacent managed Białowieża forest planted following clear-cutting of the primeval forest 80 years ago. Five pitfall traps were set in each plot in the primeval and managed forests in areas that differed in terms of humidity and soil fertility. The first hypothesis tested was that the type of stand (primeval vs. managed) has a greater effect on species diversity and life history traits of carabid assemblages than soil fertility or humidity. The second hypothesis tested was that a similar hierarchy of these factors affects the occurrence of particular species. It was demonstrated that the number of species in the primeval and managed forest sites did not differ significantly, but that mesic stands within these forests were more species-rich than boggy stands. However, the Shannon index for carabids was higher for the primeval stands. More species of carabids were recorded in the boggy primeval forest than boggy managed forest.

    1. Region of Warmia and Mazury The beauty of the region is the charming and picturesque greenery, more than 2000 lakes and a large area of forests. That’s why our region is called The land of thousand lakes (Inspired by tales of One Thousand and One Nights). The area of Warmia and Mazury are in fact two historic provinces, joined into one because of their location close to each other. They are located in northern Poland, near the border with Russia and east of the lower Vistula River. Region is a paradise for sailors, joined into several sailing routes, it offer excellent conditions not only for sailing, but also canoeing and other water sports. Once there, you can find historical signs dating back to the times of the Crusader Knights, Prussian rule and World War II.

And i.e. the essence of the that’s right! Someone who has never stayed in this area is not aware of how Mazury climate much he has lost, but someone who has just once been tempted to experience the Masurian adventure, will Wind in the sails…, remain faithful to the Land of the Great Mazury Lakes forever. The unques- photo GEP Chroszcz tionable natural and touristic values of the region are substantiated by the fact that it qualified for the final of the international competition, the New 7 Wonders of Nature, in which Mazury has been recognised as one of the 28 most beautiful places in the world. We shall wander across these unique areas along the water route whose main axis, leading from Węgorzewo to Nida Lake, is over 100 km long. If one is willing to visit everything, a distance of at least 330 km needs to be covered, and even then some places will remain undiscov- ered. The route leads to Węgorzewo, via Giżycko and Ryn to Mikołajki, from where you can set off to Pisz or Ruciane-Nida. If one wants to sail slowly, the proposed route will take less than two weeks. Choosing the express option, it is enough to reserve several days to cover it. What can fascinate us during the trip we are just starting? First of all, the environment, the richness of which can be hardly experienced on other routes.

The increase in the population size of deer raised the level of damage exerted in cultivated fields, and increased the cost of protecting forest plantations against browsing and bark stripping which amounted in 2012 to 14 million and 40 million euro, respectively. Preliminary results of estimation of the population size, made by objective methods, indicate that data obtained from hunters on the numbers of red deer are gross underestimates. For this reason, an attempt was made to verify the official data on red deer population size within the 433 000 hectares of forest administered by the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Torun. In the period 2007-2013 period there was an increase in the population size from 8 300 to 10 600 individuals, despite systematic increase in the number of animals harvested from 2 800 to 4 700. The respective rates of increase in population size and harvest measured as the finite rate of increase (λ), amounted to 4%, and 9% per annum. Using the harvest data, and the finite rate of increase in population, and assuming that the annual net population reaches 20 % of the deer number after the closure of hunting season, the probable population size was calculated.
