Which experiences offer different areas of focus?
You can sort the attractions for your stay according to your interests. The memorial grave offers a historical focus; the park and viewing platforms offer other themes. If you are interested in making a keepsake, the platforms offer a specific hands-on activity. If you are looking for running paths or a skatepark, you can instead consider Aktywnej Rekreacji Park.

At the viewing platforms, visitors can make a rubbing of the design stamp there using a pencil or colored pencil on paper or a postcard. If you would like to try this, bring one of these writing or drawing tools and a surface to make the rubbing on. The stamp makes the platforms a place where, alongside the views, you can also enjoy a small creative activity. The park’s running paths and skatepark offer something different: you can decide which of these specific interests matters more to your plans.
