Parks and nature in Racibórz: the Morava Gate Arboretum and the Castle, Stal and Roth Town parks, for walks along the Oder.
Four green spaces in different parts of the town on the Oder. They range from a botanical garden in the Obora forest to a town park with a pond and a fountain.
Where to walk among trees in Racibórz?
The largest is the Morava Gate Arboretum: a botanical garden and woodland area in the Obora forest on the eastern side of town, covering about 160 hectares, with paths, a mini-zoo and a viewing platform. In the centre, in the Ostróg district, stretches the Castle Park with black poplars over two hundred years old, so a walk is easy to combine with a visit to the castle hill.
In the Nowe Zagrody district you will find Roth Town Park, also called the swan park, with a pond, a fountain and four natural monuments, created where a cemetery used to be. The fourth is Captain Franciszek Stal Park, where a palace was destroyed in 1945, with sycamores that are natural monuments. After the walk, check the historic sights in Racibórz, the atmospheric places and the page for Racibórz; greenery across the region is gathered under parks and nature in Silesia.
