Park • Załęcze Landscape Park. Four of them – Warta-Widawka Landscape Park, Łódź Hills Landscape Park, Spała Landscape Park and
Sulejów Landscape Park – are located entirely in the Łódź Province. The remaining three parks have transborder character, i.e. they lie on the
border of different provinces: Bolimów Landscape Park – Łódź Province and Mazovia Province, Przedbórz Landscape Park – Łódź Province
and Świętokrzyskie Province, Załęcze Landscape Park – Łódź Province, Silesian Province and Opole Province. The total surface area of the
