Trails, views and outdoor recreation

Since 2019, a footpath and cycle path more than 700 metres long, forming part of the “Szlaku Stolic”, has connected the eastern section of the Bulwary nad Wartą with the area below the Lubuski Bridge. Another route is the Ścieżka nad Kłodawką, which runs from the point where the Kłodawka flows into the Warta to Chodkiewicza Street. Recreation areas along the route include playgrounds, an outdoor fitness area and small squares.

The Bulwary nad Wartą also offer specific places to visit for different interests. On the east side, you’ll find an aviary, a modern playground and a sundial. On Kozacza Góra stands the observation pavilion built in 1909, which is part of Park Siemiradzkiego. From there, you can look out over the northwestern part of the city, including the cathedral and the Lubuski Urząd Wojewódzki. The pavilion is a popular destination for walkers.

Nature reserve and parkland

The Gorzowskie Murawy nature reserve is in the western part of the city. It covers almost 80 hectares, with walking paths through a landscape of slopes, valleys and diverse vegetation. Its defining features include sandy dunes, heathland, woodland and pine forests. Scenic hills offer expansive views of the city or the Warta Valley. This sets the area apart from the specific recreational facilities along the Kłodawka: here, the focus is on landforms and views, while there you’ll find a named route with playgrounds and fitness areas.

The parks in Gorzów Wielkopolski also offer different perspectives within the wider destination of Landsberg An Der Warthe. Park Siemiradzkiego is the city’s oldest park and has an amphitheatre and a viewpoint. Park Czechówek has a distinctly woodland character and a spring-fed pond. In Park Kopernika, an evangelical chapel from the late 19th century recalls the site’s former use as a municipal cemetery.
