Góra Gnojna, Scenic viewpoint in Old Town, Warsaw, Poland

The observation deck of Góra Gnojna provides views of the Vistula River and the eastern districts of Warsaw from an elevated position.

From medieval times until 1844, this hill accumulated city waste and refuse, leading to its name which translates to Dung Hill in English.

The location represents the transformation of Warsaw's urban spaces, evolving from a disposal site to a public viewing area for residents and visitors.

The observation deck includes ramps and modified surfaces that make it accessible for visitors using wheelchairs or with limited mobility needs.

Local tradition once suggested that burying oneself in the hill's materials could cure certain medical conditions during medieval times.
