Kozłowska Desert - an area of exposed sand dunes located in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in the Lower Silesian Forests, located approximately 17 km southeast of Szprotawa.

The dunes in the Lower Silesian Forests are the product of aeolian processes, they were formed in the period after the end of the last ice age until they were covered with vegetation.

The creation of the Kozłowska Desert was caused by the activity of a Soviet military training ground, operating until 1992, when the dune served as a shield for rockets and artillery shells.

The fastest route is from Leszno Górne. A little further from Przemków. Whichever route you choose, you'll still be riding on excellent gravel road.

The Kozłowska Desert is an area of exposed sand dunes located in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, within the Lower Silesian Forest, approximately 17 km southeast of Szprotawa. The formation of the Kozłowska Desert was influenced by the activities of a German, and later Soviet, military training ground, which operated until 1992, when the dune served as a shield for rockets and artillery shells. At that time, the bare areas of exposed sand covered over 100 hectares. After 1992, vegetation succession occurred, but a section of the desert is undergoing conservation efforts to preserve its existing terrain.
