Park Trail

The Park Trail (Szlak Parkowy) is a black waymarked hiking trail in Katowice that links two city parks: Kościuszko Park and the Katowice Forest Park. It is about 4.2 km long and is maintained by the PTTK.

Route

The trail begins in Kościuszko Park, by the Church of St Michael the Archangel, and runs through the Zgrzebnioka estate and Muchowiec to the Katowice Forest Park. It is marked with a black stripe on a white background.

Links with other trails

The Park Trail connects the main trails in the city: the Trail of the Heroes of the Parachute Tower, the Upper Silesian Mining History Trail and the Katowice Walking Trail. This means it can be treated as a connecting section between longer routes.
