Purpose. The assessment of tourist attraction values of the landscape-morphological reserve “Roman Kobendza Springs of Łyna River", and the quality of water springs reinforcing the river. The current condition of the environment and opportunities for development of tourism within the reserve area was determined. Method. Field observation (attractiveness of the area, tourist management, educational values) and organic matter analyzes of water springs at selected points were performed. The dissolved (DOC) and suspended (POC) organic carbon content were determined. The quality of DOC was described based on changes in absorption ratios for different wavelengths (UV): 250/365 and 254/203. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used (season effect) and linear correlation coefficients (r) between chemical parameters were determined. Findings. Landscaping and educational values, and the availability of the reserve throughout the year, are an asset for sightseeing in organized groups (school children), and leisure activities (different age groups, families with children). The morphology of the terrain enables the realization of leisure activities. The water in the area of the reserve is supplied organic material of natural origin (wooded areas). The good quality of water probably results from small number of tourists in this area and the possibilities for self-purification of water. Research and conclusion limitations. The results of field observations were based on the opinion of a small number of persons. Practical implications. Updating information about the tourist values, the natural areas and about the importance of monitoring in areas legally protected. Originality. Quantitative and qualitative research of organic carbon forms in the spring’s water of Łyna on the reserve area were never performed. Type of paper. The article presents the results of empirical research.
