Established in 1996, the landscape park covers over 3 thousand hectares, with almost 8 thousand hectares of the buffer zone. The land of the Gryżyna Landscape Park is characterised by a very diverse post-glacial terrain, which sharply contrasts the flat outwash plain of Ołobok to the north, east and west of the landscape park. In the landscape park, you can see a sort of an “open-air museum” of post-glacial terrain - on a strip of land that has 2-3 km in width and 12.5 km in length, there is a great diversity of post-glacial formations, with numerous undrained depressions, esker and kame landforms in the shape of long banks and round hills. In the western part of the landscape park, you can see the valley of the Gryżyński Potok stream, with the bottom of the valley cutting deep into the ground; the valley slopes are steep, with gradients from 22 to 65 degrees.
