Wzgórze Gajowe, Recreational hill in Gaj district, Wrocław, Poland.
Wzgórze Gajowe is a recreational hill standing at about 155 meters high in the Gaj area of Wrocław. From its top, you can see across the city and toward the distant Sudety Mountains.
The hill was built up during the 1950s and 1960s using rubble collected after World War II. In 2005 it received additional material from Mount Anders to increase its elevation.
The name comes from the Gaj district where it stands, serving as a meeting place where locals enjoy outdoor walks and spend time together away from the city center. Residents use it regularly for leisure activities and informal gatherings throughout the year.
You can reach the hill using Bardzka and Kłodzka streets, and several public transit lines serve the area. The paths are accessible for walking, with open space to move around freely.
Scientists have found five rare beetle species here, with some specimens recorded in Poland for the first time. These insects show that the hill has become home to specialized wildlife despite its recent human creation.
