The Lower Oder Valley International Park is a shared German-Polish nature reserve.

The German part of the core area is the Nationalpark Unteres Odertal (Lower Oder Valley National Park).

By decision of the German-Polish Environmental Council in 1992 the German, Polish and Brandenburg environment ministers as well as the voivode of Szczecin created the Lower Oder Valley International Park.

The flat western shore of the Oder features several levees, which in order to control the water level and to prevent high floods are regularly opened in winter and spring.

If you are unable or unwilling to pay (you have the legal right to do so), your vehicle may be impounded (at additional cost to you), although in most cases you will probably be issued a citation to appear in court later.
