Features:
Citadel Park refers to the hill located just north of the city center. It was the location of the Winiary Fort until 1945. It’s now a popular city park and a great spot for a run. There are numerous hilly, crisscrossing paths. The center of the park is a more open landscape, with some wooded terrain toward the park’s south, east, and western edges. There are several important outdoor sculptures, two museums, and a rose garden.
For running, this is a place to create your own route. A loop of the perimeter is ~3.5 km. We also recommend two longer allée type paths: from the Fort Winiary north to the Głaz Jarosława Maszewskiego sculpture; and from Cytadela Centrum east to the Amphitheater. Make sure you pass by the Nierozpoznani sculpture at the park’s center!
Add-Ons: Can be part of a longer run incorporating our Poznań ‘runseeing’ tour, or add with the adjacent Sołacki Park/Rusałką Lake.
