Rezerwat Bieniszew (Bieniszew Reserve) - established in 1996 on the area of 144.4 ha, in the central part of the Bieniszew Forest. Within the protected area there is a deciduous oak-hornbeam stand and a poor oak-hornbeam forest. Among the trees there are many natural monuments. They cover a fragment of the forest that is very diversified in terms of terrain. The undergrowth hides six species of protected plants, including lily of the valley, scented coconut and pill sedge.
On the outskirts of the reserve there is a green and black hiking trail and the Kazimierz Biskupi - Konin bicycle trail.
Rezerwat Pustelnik (Hermit Reserve) - it was separated from the area of the Bieniszew Forest, it covers an area of 100.25 ha. Established to preserve and protect natural fragments of deciduous forests - riparian and hornbeam forests, including with quite abundant here in the undergrowth, the golden-headed lily. The reserve includes various elements of the landscape, nature and culture. Among the forests, lakes and glades on the top of the Sowia Góra hill there is a monastery. Camaldolese. At its foot, tourist routes from Konin, Kawnice and Kazimierz Biskupi intersect.
Rezerwat Złota Góra (The Golden Hill Reserve) - covers an area of 123.87 ha. A separate area protects the landscape and natural values of the highest hill in the Konin County - Złota Góra, with an absolute height of 191 m above sea level. The hill is covered with oak and mixed forests, with acidic oak forests on the border of its range. This area has its own local, healthy microclimate, it results from the planted pine and juniper stands.
The hills offer beautiful views of the surrounding area towards the Warta river basin. The yellow Brzeźno - Złota Góra and blue trails: Żychlin - Złota Góra - Wyszyna - Turek lead to "Złota Góra".
Rezerwat Mielno (Mielno Lake Reserve) - was established in September 1957, within the boundaries of the Bieniszweska Forest. The area of the reserve with the surrounding forest and meadows covers an area of 94.00 ha. In its vicinity there is a hill with an absolute height of 117 m above sea level, on the top of which is the monastery of the Camaldolese monks. It was created to protect waterfowl and marsh birds as well as low birch sites. It is characterized by a specific microclimate. 70% of its soil is marshy or open water. Due to the low water level in the lake, the entire area can be considered wet. From the west and south it is surrounded by forested hills.
The reserve is located in the catchment area of the Warta River. In its immediate vicinity there are smaller lakes: Wściekłe, Skąpe and Głodowskie, connected with each other by a system of ditches. Lake Mielno is also connected by a ditch with the Gosławskie lake, then the Pątnowskie lake and the Morzysławski canal with the Warta.
Large fluctuations in the water level contribute to disturbances in the avifauna occurring in the reserve. They involve birds leaving the nesting sites for which the reserve was established.
The presence of low birch deserves special attention. There are 24 species of trees and 19 species of shrubs in the reserve.
Currently, the most interesting phenomenon in the reserve is the progressive process of "aging" of the lake and the succession of plant communities within it, related to the overgrowing of the surface of the reservoir, among others. by the aleosone and floating frogs as well as the site of the rare orchid species - Loesela.
The green tourist trail Kawnice - Licheń runs along the southern border of the reserve, the Kazimierz Biskupi - Konin bicycle path and a fragment of the nature and forest path.
Rezerwat Sokółki (Sokółki Reserve) - located on the south-eastern edge of the Bieniszew Primeval Forest - covers 240 ha of forest area. It is a remnant of the former Kazimierz forests. The forest stand consists of Central European oak-hornbeam forests, as well as ash and alder riparian forests and yoke and ash forests. In the rich undergrowth, we can find, among others. daffodil laurel and golden-headed lily.
The Nature and Forest educational trail runs along the edge of the reserve.
