THE BUG RIVER VALLEY FOR NATURE LOVERS
Eastern Poland with a difference
By Olivier Dochy, Belgium
From 21st until 25th of June, I got the chance to join a study visit to the valley of the Bug
river on the border of Poland and Belarus, in the far east of Poland. The purpose of this visit
was tot evaluate local initiatives for sustainable tourism, oriented to "riverside & countryside"
tourism. This visit was organized by a Flemish-Polish exchange project with the provinces
of West-Vlaanderen en Lubelski (Poland), but also the flemish initiative vzw De Boot
(www.deboot.be).
My task was to evaluate which topics in the region could be interesting for nature-lovers in
general and keen nature-specialists in particular, such as birders. Well, there is a lot ! It is
not like the wild expanses of the well-known Biebrza valley or the untouched forests of Bialowieza,
but rather a small-scale (agri)cultural landscape. But it still has all the biodiversity
that once flourished in Western-Europe and now all (but) disappeared.
Here follow a number of tips voor those who want to visit the region. There is a lot of information
great and small on the internet about the region, but you have to surf a lot to
find it all. Anyway, there certainly is a lot to discover for naturalists with a pioneer drive !
