Microclimatic conditions in the forest differ significantly from conditions in non-forest areas, and different forest communities have a different impact on the human organism. Not all forest communities are universally beneficial for everyone. Forests in Kampinos National Park (KNP) show a considerable diversity of habitats and communities. The tourist and recreational function of these forests is very important because of their location close to Warsaw. Taking advantage of the therapeutic role of the particular forest communities and their stimulating effect on human vitality may enhance their attractiveness, e.g. through the development of health tourism. The primary study objective was to assess the bioclimatic conditions in the forest communities of KNP, including the determination of their health properties, and to analyse the tourist trails against the background of these conditions. Most of the tourist trails in KNP go through communities with favourable bioclimatic conditions. Bioclimate beneficial to people occurs along 94% of the length of KNP trails in the spring and 77% in the summer. Unfavourable bioclimatic conditions occur along 3% of KNP trails. The distribution of tourist trails in relation to the bioclimatic conditions of KNP forest communities is very advantageous from the tourist and recreational perspective
