The reserve is located on the slopes of moraine hills, diversified by ravines, streams, and springs. The Utrata stream flows through this area, which appears and disappears from the surface. The aim of the protection is to preserve the Pomeranian beech forest in various typological variations with rich herbaceous plant communities in the undergrowth. Over a hundred-year-old beeches reach a height of up to 40 m. Rare and endangered plants occur here, including forest fescue, fumewort, one-flowered pearl grass, lanceolate spleenwort, and common madder. Among the protected plants are, for example, broad-leaved helleborine, blue helleborine, guelder rose, common buckthorn, and sweet woodruff. The bottom of the ravine is occupied by spring beech forest. The reserve is named after engineer Józef Lewandowski, an outstanding forester, a pioneer in the development of the forests of Western Pomerania. A glacial erratic boulder with a plaque commemorating this man, who was distinguished for the forests, is located in the southeastern part of the reserve, at the crossroads of roads from Szczecin-Śmierdnica and from Kołowo. For those who want to get to know the landscape of the Kołowskie Ravines better, two tourist trails are available. The Red Trail named after Stanisław Pawelski runs from Szczecin Kijewo to Glinna. The Blue Trail named after Stanisław Groński runs from Szczecin Zdroje to Zdunowo.

The Kołowskie Parowy nature reserve is a small but very charming protected area located near Gryfice, which delights with deep gorges and steep slopes covered with beech forest. This is an ideal place for cyclists looking for peace and contact with nature, although you need to be prepared for short but intense climbs and sandy sections. Forest paths lead through the reserve, which are best covered by a trekking or cross bike with solid tires. It is worth taking provisions with you, because there is no tourist base in the area, and it is a great place for a quiet rest away from busy routes.
