Rudy Landscape Park

Rudy Landscape Park (full name Park Krajobrazowy Cysterskie Kompozycje Krajobrazowe Rud Wielkich: "Landscape Park of the Cistercian Landscape Compositions of Rudy Wielkie") is a protected area (landscape park) in southern Poland, established in 1993, covering an area of 493.87 square kilometres (190.68 sq mi).

Protected are the remnants of natural riparian and oak-hornbeam forests, typical of the upper Odra valley, as well as ponds - breeding grounds for birds and habitats of rare mud and water plants (e.g. yellow watercress, water caltrop).

Monuments of animate and inanimate nature include an erratic boulder northeast of Rybnik-Paruszowiec.
