Covering some 800 hectares of glorious forest and meadow land north of the city centre, the leisurely Forest Park of Culture in Myślęcinek offers visitors a wealth of things to see and do. Originally a series of individual park lands, the park became one large entity in 1970 and is a hugely popular place year- round, but especially during the summer months. You'll find here not only great space for picnicking and stretching out on the grass, but also a Zoo, expansive Botanical Garden with an 'Alpinarium', a horse riding centre, paintball, golf, an amusement park, and even a small ski slope, though note that many of these attractions are seasonal - in this issue we only list those open in the winter. For refueling and refreshment, you'll find a few cafes scattered about and the traditional Karczma Kujawska (Kuyavian Inn) restaurant at the northern end, near the Botanical Garden. To get here take bus 52 from 'Nowy Rynek' (B-5) to 'Myślęcinek' or use bydgoszcz.jakdojade.pl to figure out other connections.
