Lasek Złotoryjski, Urban forest park in southwestern Legnica, Poland.
Lasek Złotoryjski is a woodland park covering about 52 hectares with mixed tree species, open meadows, and natural clearings throughout. A network of pathways winds through the terrain, offering access to different sections of the forest for walking and cycling.
The park was established in 1890 when a gardener began planting the forest following a horticultural exhibition, starting with around 40,000 trees. Early in the 1900s, a prominent family further expanded the woodland through land donations and additional tens of thousands of seedlings.
The park's name honors the Złotorski family, whose generous land donation and gift of thousands of seedlings shaped the green character of this place. Visitors can see the legacy of that gift in the mature trees and natural woodland structure today.
The park is accessible throughout via an extensive network of paths, with separate routes for walkers and cyclists running through the grounds. You can simply walk or cycle around without needing any special preparation or equipment.
A protected zone near an old copper works allows wild animals such as foxes, deer, hares, and badgers, along with many bird species, to thrive here. Patient visitors with some luck may spot these animals in their natural surroundings.
