Park Leśników im. Jana Łobodźca

<p>Park of Foresters named after Jan Łobodźca</p> <p>​</p> <p>We enter the park through a tall wooden gate with the name of the park. We immediately see the raked trails. As we stroll along the paths, we pass true forest elements of garden architecture; numerous little bridges made using peeled, twisted branches, which are decorative in themselves, several gazebos and shelters with benches and tables for sitting or taking refuge from the rain, a place for a campfire with prepared wood, even sticks for roasting sausages and a large spatial structure reminiscent of an observation tower, from which one can see the park from above. An additional attraction is the streams like natural, small ponds with blooming yellow irises in spring and then - crimson bulrush and sedges, and just below the ranger's lodge is a fairly large pond with a dam, from where water presumably flows into the streams.</p> <p>It is worth noting a several-year-old, healthy pedunculate oak growing by a stone, within a low fence. Words carved on the boulder indicate that this is an oak known as 'papal', because it is one of hundreds that grew from acorns blessed by John Paul II during the visit of the delegation of Polish foresters to the Vatican.</p> <p>Many other attractions and curiosities await us in this park, so it is worth exploring with family and friends, remembering to behave culturally and not leave anything that would reflect poorly on our stay there.</p> <p>Numerous plaques that should be read teach us about nature-forest knowledge and how to behave in such a place.</p> <p>A place worth seeing, it was shown to me by Tomek Czajkowski from the Bicycle Cooperative Korba from Koszalin. Getting to the Park by bicycle and trailer along forest roads, nice, quiet, and interesting.</p>
