The Wielkopolski National Park was created pursuant to a regulation of the Council of Ministers of April 16, 1957, and its borders covered an area of ​​9600 ha, of which about 5100 ha were under the management of the Park. In 1996, a new regulation of the Council of Ministers regarding WPN changes its area to 7584 ha and creates a protection zone around the Park, the so-called buffer zone, the area of ​​which together with the Park area is 14,840 ha. The municipal areas of Puszczykowa, Mosina and Stęszew were excluded from the Park. The Wielkopolski National Park is located about 15 km south of Poznań. Wielkopolski National Park is visited by over one million tourists annually. Five marked hiking trails with a total length of 85 km run through the Park. Seven routes have been marked out along these routes to explore not only the natural but also cultural values ​​of this area. The park also provides over 100 km of roads for cyclists and 30 km for hippika lovers. There are numerous monuments in the Park. The most valuable is the wooden church in Łódź from the 17th century. Other historic churches of a slightly lower value can be found in Puszczykowo, Stęszew and Wiry. Nineteenth-century manor houses have survived to this day in Szreniawa and Trzebaw. An interesting object is also the ruins of the castle built in 1827 by Tytus Działyński for his sister Klaudyna Potocka on the island of Zamkowa on J. Górecki.
