Babczyna Dolina Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The main part of the reserve, with an area of almost 76 ha, is located in the Radostowice forestry in the Kobiór Forest Inspectorate, in the center of the Kobiórski forests, where biocenotic systems characteristic of river valleys are protected in the upper course of Korzeniec Południowy. The subject of protection here are, among others: reed forest patches, sphagnum alder forest, forest reed complex, riparian forest, i.e. forest communities formed under the influence of stagnant waters, where no economic activities are carried out.

The South Korzenic on the Pszczyna Plain is one of the few watercourses that has resisted the negative impact of anthropopressure while preserving rare vegetation. The greatest wealth of "Babczyna Dolina" is the bryoflora, i.e. a huge number of bryophytes - 61, and liverworts - 20. This is a sensation in the Pszczyna-Kobiórski managed forests dominated by pine monoculture, but also on the map of the Silesian Voivodeship there are not many such places.
