The first trip

Today Flat Alexader visited Grodzisko Fort, where the viewpoints at the Gdansk Bay, shipyards and Old Town are very picturesque:



Grodzisko Fort is located in the very centre of Gdansk, in the closest distance to the Main Railway Station and Central Bus Depot. Grodzisko Fort is located on the Gradowa Hill which
is of more than 40 m height and dominate over the centre of Gdansk.

Alexander was really impressed by the view!



The place was being fortified from the 17th century and - together with Bishop's Hill - formed the western front of Gdansk fortifications. In the 1807 Fort was the place of the main attack at Gdansk of Napoleon's army. Besieged by Polish and French soldiers it was finally captured.
Historical buildings, also underground, can be explored by tourists (only with guide). The post-fortification park, biggest in the city centre, is a place of living of many species of animals and plants.

Here, Alexander discovered some interesting plant:



In the 1920s the area was redeveloped as a town park and became a popular place for relax. Without any military importance the whole area survived the time of the 2nd World War almost without any destruction. Here you can see Alexander sitting at the Napoleon (the great war hero) desk:



Today, Grodzisko is a very attractive place for inhabitants and tourists. It is a great place for sightseeing. In the end, our friend decided to climb on the tree to have even better view at the whole city!


Wonder, what is Alexander going to see next time??
