We can start our walk along the Wisłok boulevards at any point, for example, in the city center - we go down from the Lubomirski Castle to the Castle Bridge.

Around Podpromie Hall

The sports hall on Podpromie street, like all of Rzeszów, is alive with volleyball, hence the monument of the volleyball 'double short', which commemorates the training thought of Jan Strzelczyk and the former and current volleyball players of the Resovia club:
