Descripción
The reserve "Bór na Czerwonem" has an area of 194.59 ha and is located in the Orawsko-Nowotarska Basin. The reserve owes its name to the common algae Zygonium ericetorum, whose thallus turns red in autumn. The main subject of protection in the reserve is a raised bog covered with natural vegetation, along with the surrounding pine stands with spruce. The reserve is protected under the Natura 2000 program and was also included in the network of areas covered by the Ramsar Convention.
A total of 59 bird species were recorded during the breeding season (of which about 40-45 nest here regularly). Of these, two species that formerly bred in the reserve, the black grouse and the black stork, no longer breed. The black grouse occurred in the reserve and nearby meadows until the early 21st century (Cichocki, 2008), with the last observation dating back to 2008. Currently, this species has completely disappeared around the reserve.

Accesso
The best way to get to the reserve is from Nowy Targ. In the reserve an educational and nature path was established. Platforms were built, leading to the viewing platform from which you can safely admire the peat bogs and the mountains surrounding the valley: the Tatra Mountains, the Gorce and the Babia Góra Range. The reserve can be explored on foot or by bike. Along the path, there are five information boards about the nature and history as well as the problems of peat bogs protection.
