Border Meanders of the River Oder

More than 126 plant species have been identified here, as well as many endangered animal species, such as rare butterflies, beetles, roseate, screech owl, mountain toad, European beaver, river otter, kingfisher and river plover. River processes such as the washing up of banks, the formation of shoals, gravel islands and oxbow lakes, and even the breaking of river bends, are taking place on the border Oder. As part of the project, WWF Poland and the municipality of Krzyżanowice are preparing nature trails and field lessons for students from Polish and Czech schools to raise environmental awareness among young people and the region's inhabitants.
