Why are these 60 people standing in the landscape? Are they allowed to do what they are doing in this public park? Yes! You are entering the Polish-German Gardens, a park revitalised by the joint forces of the German Embassy in Warsaw, the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation and the city of Warsaw.
During its three-year construction, the public and private institutions (over 25 have joined the project already!) have managed to plant many trees, hedges, and smaller plants, install a high swing (currently, it's the highest swing in Poland!), and partly revitalise the ground. Also, there is an information point at the corner of Zieleniecka and Wedla streets—the entrance from ul. Międzynarodowa was finished in 2019.
Come in for a stroll (the philosophy of the Gardens is to enjoy this peaceful and quiet place), look at the ducks or participate in one of the voluntary works in the autumn or spring. Nothing is better than being in the fresh air and in international surroundings. And if you want to make yourself seen, for 500 euros you can buy a tree to mark your stay in Warsaw.
Currently, Nordic walking courses are organised to keep up the sporty spirit. Visit their homepage & Facebook for more info.
