Park Leśników im. Jana Łobodźca

<p>Park Leśników im. Jana Łobodźca</p> <p>​</p> <p>We enter the park through a tall wooden gate with the name of the park. Immediately we see the raked paths. While walking on the next paths, we pass real forest elements of garden architecture; numerous little bridges made with the use of peeled, curved branches, which are already ornate themselves, several pavilions and huts with benches and tables for sitting or sheltering from the rain, a place for a bonfire with prepared wood, even sticks for roasting sausages and a large spatial construction resembling a hunting hide, from which you can see the park from above. An additional attraction are our little streams like natural, small ponds with blooming yellow irises in spring and later with muddy persicaria and bulrushes, and just under the forest lodge there is a quite large pond with a dam, from which water probably flows into the streams.</p> <p>It is worth noting a several-year-old healthy pedunculate oak growing by a stone, inside a low fence. The words engraved on the boulder inform us that this is an oak called 'papal', because it is one of the hundreds that have grown from acorns blessed by John Paul II during the visit of a delegation of Polish foresters to the Vatican.</p> <p>Many other attractions and curiosities await us in this park, so it is worth exploring it with family and friends, remembering to behave there culturally and not to leave anything that could reflect poorly on our stay.</p> <p>Numerous panels that should be read teach us knowledge about nature and forests, as well as how to behave in such a setting.</p> <p>A place worth seeing, shown to me by Tomek Czajkowski from the Cycling Cooperative Korba from Koszalin. The ride to the park by bike and trailer along forest roads is pleasant, peaceful, and interesting.</p>
