Muzeum – Zamek/ Goluchów castle and park

Info Telefon: +48 62/761 50 94

Tues-Sun 10-16 h

Goluchów’s greatest attraction is the 16th century castle, remodeled in the French Renaissance style in the late 19th century. It houses a branch of the National Museum in Poznan, and has on display articles of Polish and European crafts, paintings and ancient Greek vases. All exhibits were collected from European art dealers in the 19th century by Izabela z Flemingow Czartoryska (see our database "Wissenschaftler"!). A One hundred years old English-style park surrounds the residence which is the seat of the Museum of Forest Techniques and Technology. West of the parks a bison display enclosure was arranged.

"Wolsztyn ... is a railway junction, with a locomotive depot, and is now the last place in Europe where service trains are regularly worked by steam locomotives, and the location of a project, managed by a British entrepreneur in partnership with a charitable trust in Poland, and with PKP, the Polish railway authority, that enables the skills of driving and firing steam locomotives to be passed to future generations. Steam Training organises regular courses of several weeks’ duration on which visitors from abroad are able, under supervision, to drive timetabled passenger trains. The railways in the region reflect the characteristic practices of the Prussian State Railways. The roundhouse at the locomotive depot remains in use and in the vicinity there is an open air museum, managed by PKP, displaying a variety of steam locomotives in the vicinity. Plans were announced in 2007 to modernise the railway between Wolsztyn and Poznan, but it is intended to retain the line’s historic features." (ERIH)

Drawa National Park was established in 1990 and protects an area of 11,019 ha, of which 82 percent are forests and 10 percent are water. It includes a part of the Drawa Primeval Forest, located in the central district of the Walecko-Mysliborskie Lakeland. In January 1996, a special protective zone of 35,590 ha surrounding the Park, was established. The Park area may be accessed from ca. 60 km of tourist trails and routes, which include the Drawa River route. The lower section of this river (about 30 km) is one of the best known canoeing runs in Poland.

Vegetation

Protected forests make up a part of the larger complex known as the Drawa Primeval Forest. Among the 140 plant communities of the Park there are 18 forest and brushwood communities. Mixed forests and coniferous forest biotopes predominate in the Park. Pine, beech, oak and alder, mixed with spruce, larch, birch, hornbeam and aspen, can be found most frequently there. In the eastern part of the Park, pine high forests prevail. In its western part, the main types are beech forests, hornbeam dry forests with occasional oaks, marshy and aspen forests. In the forests, there are numerous monumental 450-year old oaks, 140-year old pines and 350-year old beech trees.
The flora of the Drawienski National Park is represented by over 800 species of vascular plants including 43 species under protection, among others leather leave, wild pepper, Martagon lily and orchid, as well as over 200 species of fungi.

Fauna

The fauna of the Park consists of at least 40 mammal species, and includes beaver, marten, otter, and game animals such as the deer, wild boar and fox. The birds inhabiting the Park include osprey, kite, white-tailed eagle, lesser spotted eagle, goldeneye, merganser, eagle owl, other species of owl, black stork and dipper (water ouzel, Cinclus cinclus). The aquatic fauna includes numerous fish such as bream, perch, grayling, pikes, lavaret, European white fish, bulltrout, barbel, eel and vimba, as well as the recently restored salmon, which lives only in very clean water.
