Mountain biking

in the first days of World War II, the scouts of the Polish Scouting Association were to resist the Wehrmacht troops entering the city. The scale of resistance and the course of events are controversial, and the identity of the defenders of the parachute tower has not been established. Currently, the facility is a monument dedicated to all the defenders of Katowice, killed and murdered by the Germans in 1939. It is also the only preserved parachute tower in Poland. This object became a monument to the death of Silesian scouts[1].

A great place as a meeting point. In the middle of the park, easy access.
