Wolski Forest - stroller-friendly paths
The network of walking paths in Wolski Forest is reportedly about 40 km long, but the majority of them are hiking trails through the forest. An additional difficulty is the location of the forest on a hill - so some of the paths are quite steep.
If you have a stroller, the most comfortable paths, which are asphalt and have little elevation, are located near the Zoo, so:
- On weekdays, you can drive into Wolski Forest, park right by the Zoo, and enjoy the forest trails.
- On weekends, there is a ban on driving into Wolski Forest. Therefore, you should park your car at the lower parking lot on Kuku艂cza Street, and it's about a 20-minute walk uphill to the Zoo along a slightly rocky path. You can also take a bus or minibus for this part of the journey.

Which paths in Wolski Forest are suitable for stroller walks?
Once you are on the hill near the Zoo, you can walk comfortably on wide, asphalt paths shaded by trees. However, there are also accessible paths for strollers from other parts of the forest.
1. From the Zoo to Pi艂sudski Mound
This is the easiest and most popular route in Wolski Forest, leading along the W臋drownik贸w Avenue. The entire route is asphalt, comfortable, and wide. Below the Ko艣ciuszko Mound, you will find a meadow with benches and places to rest in the shade of trees. There is also a small playground on the meadow.

3. From Bielany to Pi艂sudski Mound along W臋drownik贸w Avenue
This is also an entirely asphalt, wide, shaded trail that starts at the parking lot below the Monastery in Bielany and leads to Pi艂sudski Mound. However, NOTE!!! This route goes uphill almost all the time!!! Pushing a stroller uphill can be a bit tiring, and we do not recommend it for a bike ride with a child, unless your little one is already skilled on two wheels and not afraid of such uphill climbs.

However, with a stroller, you can easily reach the Bielany Meadow along this route, which is a great place for a picnic and relaxation.
4. Scenic route to the Kamedu艂贸w Monastery
A very interesting and scenic walking route leads from Orlej Street, starting from the Cemetery in Bielany (MPK Cmentarz Bielany bus stop), all the way to the Kamedu艂贸w Monastery. It is not asphalt, but the road is fairly compacted, and strollers with inflatable wheels should handle it. You can see sheep grazing here, and from the meadows near the University of Agriculture, there is a beautiful panorama of the Vistula River bend.
