Not many people know it's there and it's great if you want to get a rest without going far. It's been renovated in 2017 and is getting nicer every day. My favourite stop on the way home from work.

A lovely beach off the bitten track. To get there you pass a pine forest - calming effect regardless the weather.
From the city centre take bus #186 direction 'Gorki Zachodnie' or #112 direction 'Przegalina'. It take 40 min on a bumpy road but is worth it. Ask me for details - it's easier to be shown on a map.

From my place take any tram going in the direction 'Lostowice Swietokrzyska', get off at the final stop and from there take bus #155 direction 'Jasien PKM', get off at the stop 'Czerminskiego'. It should take you some 25 min.
