            Milicz Ponds, Barycz Valley Landscape Park, Lower Silesia, Poland

In the 12th century, Cistercian nuns from Sanctuary of St. Jadwiga in Trzebnica, ordered excavating carp ponds and  the Milicz Ponds were created. Waters were funnelled from Barycz, a river that flows into River Odra.  The more than 100 Milicz Ponds represent the world's largest concatenation of ponds in Europe, as the area spreads over 70 sq. km. The Barycz plain has a surface of 5,535 sq. km - ten times larger than Lake Constance.
Many of the artificial Milicz Ponds can hardly be distinguished from natural ones. 
Such oak alleys are very characteristic for this area. Some oaks are very old and beautiful.
