Bażantarnia Park in Elbląg, Municipal forest park in Elbląg, Poland
Bażantarnia Park is a 369-hectare forest area sitting at the edge of the Elbląg Upland, with hills, streams, and ravines shaped by natural forces. The terrain supports beech and hornbeam woodlands crossed by multiple walking routes.
The park was established in 1811 as a woodland for the city. Over time, specific trees were designated as natural monuments, including an English oak and white poplar that gained official protection in 1968.
The trails here carry names of regional figures, connecting walks through the landscape with local memory and identity. Visitors naturally learn about these people simply by following signs and taking the paths.
The park has designated bonfire areas with firewood provided, useful for groups planning outdoor gatherings in the space. Contact municipal offices ahead if you want to arrange such activities.
A large boulder called Devil's Stone sits in a side valley of Silver Stream and has scratches that local stories link to ancient folklore about supernatural forces. Walkers often seek it out as they explore how the landscape connects to local tales.
