This 60-hectare stretch of land looks more like a large meadow than a standard botanical garden, but it is home to 800+ plant species and is a favourite place for leisurely strolls. The highlight is without a doubt the Alpinarium, an Alpine-style section of the garden formed to remind visitors of mountains - yes, that's a 20m stone wall you see, and a ridge, and a gorge, and even a mountain lake complete with a stream and waterfall. The plants are Alpine as well, from mountain pine to edelweiss. Elsewhere you'll find an arboretum, a garden of 'cherry and apple blossoms,' collections of pine trees and other evergreens, many native plants, and even an educational path for the blind, where visitors can touch plants and read about them in Braille (Polish only, unfortunately).
