"About an hour west of Warsaw, Kampinoski National Park is home to several well-marked walking, cycling, horseback-riding, and, in winter, cross-country skiing trails. The main trail stretches 34 miles from the east to the west end of the park, starting in Dziekanów Leśny and ending in Brochów. Almost as long is the green trail, which also begins in Dziekanów Leśny but ends near Chopin’s birthplace in Żelazowa Wola. For something shorter, head to Trusksaw, where both the yellow trail of insurgents and partisans and the blue folklore trail start. Officially established in 1959, Kampinoski National Park became a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2000. Located near the biggest river junction in Poland, it comprises two very different habitats—dunes and swamps—as well as various types of forests and more than a thousand plant species, 69 of which are protected. Moose are king here (they even feature in the park’s logo), but there are also several other animals to see, including lynxes, rabbits, foxes, deer, European beavers, and wild boar. Aspiring ornithologists can look forward to 121 different species of birds, from black storks to herons to cranes."
Beautiful and peaceful place to walk between nature. Recommend to go early due to weather and since the place is huge to have enough time to view at least a few paths. The minus are the dogs that are allowed in a few paths, but actually, the run, since the owners unleash them.

The huge park, probably looks like forest. For the long walk or bicycle ride- pretty good place, not far away from Warsaw

Not really far away from Warsaw Central, you can easily take the metro and then the bus to reach here. It was really beautiful and cozy. Highly recommend for family with kids or friends. Also you can see lots of people walk their dogs there.

A very nice national park not far from the capital. Kampinoski is huge, and warrants repeated visits in order to fully explore the park.
I was there recently for a quiet, late winter hike. The trails are well marked, well kept, and generally accessible for a variety of activities including: hiking, nordic walking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.
The area is generally low-land, with a few hills in spots. It makes for easy hiking - great for long distance hikes without a lot of challenge. The only down side to this flat land is that trails are wet. Even on a cooler day, with some snow still on the ground, I encountered a lot of puddles and some flooded areas. The yellow trail to Truskaw was reportedly impassible in just trail shoes according to a fellow park visitor. I haven't visited in the spring, but I imagine all this water means lots of insects come warmer temperatures.
Kampinoski is definitely worth a trip, and with its proximity to the city, it makes for an easy get away location.
If you're using public transport, be sure to check the bus schedules because only a few buses (zone 2) go out to this area from the metropolitan area.
