Gródek Park in Jaworzno - How to Get There with a Stroller?

The easiest and most interesting route starts from the parking lot on Jaworowa Street - suitable for strollers, as well as walking with a bicycle or scooter. The entire path to Zalew Wydra is almost 2 km long and takes about half an hour to walk. We immediately enter the Arboretum area, which offers a pleasant pedestrian and cycling path with a view of the rocks. The path leads us through a green, well-maintained park with grassy clearings perfect for a family picnic.

After bypassing the park, we turn onto an asphalt promenade - Płetwonurków Street, but we do not reach the diving base as it is closed due to the water intake for drinking purposes. To reach Zalew Wydra, follow the arrow with the sign "Wydra" which will guide you. We walk along a peaceful asphalt forest road, safe and free from car traffic. From above, we can see the diving base and the second reservoir - Kamieniołom Koparki, where submerged excavators that used to extract stone from this area can be found. The road leads to a convenient asphalt descent to the "Wydra" reservoir.
