Attractions

atrakcjeThe biggest attraction of Forest Apartments is their location in the middle of the forest, in the central part of the Tuchola Landscape Park, a part of the area of the Bory Tucholskie Forest.

The uniqueness of this region was confirmed by the use of special nature protection also on international scale, by creating the area NATURE 2000 (Special Protection Areas and Special Areas of Conservation) and the UNESCO Biosphere reserve Bory Tucholskie, in the heart of which Forest Apartments are.

In the ecological network ECONET Bory Tucholskie are referred to as an area of international importance. Many rare, relic and protected species of plants, fungi and animals live here. Many of them are mentioned on red lists of endangered species.

The presence of phytoncides – volatile compounds (ethereal oils) having bacteriocidal and regenerative properties explains scientifically why we feel there so well. Moreover, suprisingly, the air in these areas has large amounts of iodine.
