The Szczecin Landscape Park "Puszcza Bukowa" covers an area of about 15 km in length and 10 km in width, stretching along the southern borders of Szczecin, all the way to the Płonia River in the east. Most of this area is occupied by the Bukowe Hills covered with the Bukowa Forest. The northern and central part of the forest is the most elevated and undulating, with a varied terrain, with high and steep hills cut by ravines and valleys through which forest rivers and streams flow. The flora of the Bukowa Forest includes about 1,250 species of plants, including 53 species under full protection. In the forest we can also find about 140 species of birds, a dozen or so species of mammals and several species of reptiles. Among the birds we can meet the black stork, white-tailed eagle, lesser spotted eagle and red kite. There is also a very rich butterfly fauna, about 400 species.

The reserve is located on the slopes of moraine hills, diversified by ravines, streams and springs. The Utrata stream flows through this area, which appears or disappears from the surface. The aim of the protection is to preserve the Pomeranian beech forest in various typological varieties with rich associations of herbaceous plants in the ground cover. The beeches, over a hundred years old, reach a height of up to 40 m. Rare and endangered plants occur here, including forest fescue, empty corydalis, pearlwort, spearwort and common bedstraw. Among the protected plants, there are, for example, broadleaf helleborine, blue helleborine, guelder rose, common buckthorn and sweet woodruff. The bottom of the ravine is occupied by spring beech forest. The reserve is named after Józef Lewandowski, an outstanding forester and pioneer in the development of the forests of Western Pomerania. The erratic boulder with a plaque commemorating this distinguished forest man is located in the southeastern part of the reserve, at the intersection of the roads from Szczecin-Śmierdnica and Kołów. For those who want to get to know the landscape of Kołowskie Parowy better, there are two hiking trails available. The Stanisław Pawelski Red Trail leads from Szczecin Kijewo to Glinna. The Stanisław Groński Blue Trail leads from Szczecin Zdroje to Zdunów.

On both sides of the cobblestones there are narrow sections of asphalt cycle path.

The Kołowskie Parowy nature reserve is a small but very charming protected area located near Gryfice, which delights with deep gorges and steep slopes covered with beech forest. This is an ideal place for cyclists looking for peace and contact with nature, although you need to be prepared for short but intense climbs and sandy sections. Forest paths lead through the reserve, which are best covered by a trekking or cross bike with solid tires. It is worth taking provisions with you, because there is no tourist base in the area, and it is a great place for a quiet rest away from busy routes.

The Szczecin Landscape Park "Puszcza Bukowa" is a vast forest complex on the outskirts of Szczecin, ideal for peaceful bike trips along gentle but sometimes sandy trails. The biggest attractions are the vast beech forests, picturesque hills and deep ravines, which look particularly impressive in autumn. It is worth visiting viewpoints such as Góra Bukowiec and stopping at Lake Szmaragdowe, which delights with the intense colour of its water. The trails in the Forest are well marked, but after rain they can be slippery, so tires with better tread are recommended.
