Area description
The Slowinskie Bloto refuge is situated in West-Pomeranian Voivodeship, on the area of Darlowo commune. It is listed in European Natura 2000 Network as the Site of Community Importance.

This is the only stand of dome-shaped peat preserve in Pomerania. Vast part of the area is overgrown by mixed forests, and near the peatbog there are deciduous mainly beech and beech-oak forests. Slowinskie Blota are the habitat of many protected vegetables like:

  • Common sundew,
  • Hartman tufted bulrush,
  • Cloudberry,
  • Bog-rosemary,
  • Wild rosemary,
  • Stiff clubmoss.

Habitats from Appendix I Habitats Directive:

  • Bog woodland,
  • Depressions on peat substrates of the Rhynchosporion,
  • Active raised bogs with bog-productive vegetables,
  • Degraded raised bogs still capable of natural and stimulated regeneration.

There is Markowe Blota Nature Reserve on the area of the refuge.
