Góra Gnojna, Scenic viewpoint in Old Town, Warsaw, Poland
Góra Gnojna is a scenic viewpoint in Warsaw's Old Town that overlooks the Vistula River and the eastern districts from an elevated position. The raised location offers open views across the river valley and the neighborhoods that stretch to the east.
From the medieval period until 1844, this hill collected waste and refuse from the city, which shaped its name. After that time, the site was redeveloped and given a new role within the city.
This spot reflects how Warsaw transformed urban spaces, turning a former waste site into a gathering point where locals and visitors come to see the river and surroundings. The elevated position has become part of how people experience the city's geography.
The area has ramps and modified surfaces that make it accessible for visitors with limited mobility. This ensures visitors of different abilities can comfortably reach and enjoy the views.
The name literally means Dung Hill, a direct reference to the site's original purpose as a waste dump. This straightforward naming from medieval times persists today, offering a reminder of how dramatically the location has changed.
