City Park Piła Poland

http://www.pilskie.com Pila is a town of 80 thousand in Greater Poland that is beautifully set near the River Gwda, far from big cities and highly developed industry. It is no surprise that tourism flourishes here, thanks to the untainted natural environment, glacial lakes, and pinewoods that cover about 25% of the region.

Pila TOURISM Pilas role is to be the main trade and business centre of the northern Greater Poland, and local industry includes electronics and precision engineering, agriculture and food processing, tourism, and business services. There are plenty of green areas within the Pila region. Probably the most interesting are the Kuznik and the Park on the Island reserves; the latter being situated between two branches of the Gwda River. There are several lakes, with the most popular being the Plotki, providing good conditions to relax in. The town is surrounded by woods and there are several rivers nearby, all good for that favourite of Polish pastimes - river canoeing. Among the main historic sights in Pila is the modernist church of St Anthony of Padua; which has a great figure of Jesus Christ on the Cross, one of the largest of its type in Europe and it towers above a huge altar. Another place worth visiting is the Stanislaw Staszic Museum, which possesses an exhibition of memorabilia connected with this great 19th century philanthropist (and the towns most famous citizen). Another interesting place on the outskirts of Pila is Osieka, the open-air living museum of Polish rural life with its rich collection of cottage utensils, agricultural tools, religious items and other relics of community ceremonies.
