We offer you to see a Wroclaw morning city trip.
From Parkowa(Szczytnicki Park) to Andrzeja Waligórskiego(Południowy Park).
Szczytnicki Park in Wrocław, Poland is located to the east of Plac Grunwaldzki and the old Oder river, and covers approximately 10 square kilometres of land. The park, besides offering many sightseeing attractions, also has many dendrological rarities.
The land under the park was first mentioned in writing in 1204, when Henryk I the Bearded donated the village Stitnic to the monastery of St. Vincent, where shields were produced for the duke’s forces. The village was also inhabited by fishermen and farmers. In 1318, the monks sold the village to the city council, becoming the first estate outside the city walls, called Szczytniki. The forest in Szczytniki was already popular among the inhabitants of Wrocław in the 18th century. In 1783, Frederick Louis, Prince of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen bought the terrain and established one of the first parks on the European continent in the English style. The park was ruined, however, by French soldiers during a siege of the city.
The park hosts a Japanese Garden (Wrocław), prepared for the World’s Fair of 1913, restored by a Japanese foundation,[1] partially destroyed by the 1997 flood and reconstructed. There is also a wooden church from the turn of the 17th century, originally in Stare Koźle.

South (Pol: Południowy) Park- a park in Wrocław, located in the southern part of the Borek estate. It belongs to the landscape parks of great compositional and dendrological value.
Unlike other city parks, it was created from scratch, not by adapting forest areas. In 1877, the landowner of large areas, incl. on the southern outskirts of Wrocław, including a part of Borek and the nearby Partynice, a Wrocław merchant and philanthropist Julius Schottländer donated the park to the city in exchange for connecting Borek to the municipal gas, water and sewage network.
On land donated to the city, until 1892, landscape architect Hugo Richter and botanist Ferdinand Cohn created a landscape park with clearings and a large pond, over which the brewer Georg Haase built a stylish restaurant with a tall tower. There is no restaurant today, there is a park with a pond with fountains, Landsberg’s viewing terrace above it, and Bender’s hill with a small gazebo, paths, clearings, well-kept flower beds and a perennial garden.
Since 1995, the park has been entered in the register of monuments [1]. There are 109 plant species growing there; The park’s attractions include interesting dendrological specimens of the marsh cypress (Taxodium distichum), the American tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), the five-leafed hickory (Carya ovata), the plane tree (Platanus x hispanica Münchh.) and the rare in Poland variety of chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum).
Since September 5, 2004, a monument to Fryderyk Chopin has been standing in the park, designed by Jan Kucz, professor of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. The almost four-meter-high bronze monument shows the composer exhausted by consumption, sitting in a sofa and listening to the sounds of music.
