The core area of the Biosphere Reserve consists ofTuchola Forest National Park and thenature reserves lying within the Landscape Parks of the buffer zone.[1]
After the construction of the hydroelectric power plant inŻur in 1930, as a result of damming the Wda and flooding the estuary sections of its tributaries, the Żur Reservoir with an area of 440 ha was created. This resulted in a rise in the water level and a connection of the Wda river with two flooded depressions of the area, i.e. the present lakesWierzchy and Mukrza. In this way, numerous picturesque islands were created in the Zalew Żurski. The most famous of them is Madeira.[2]
