Fort VII („Zbarż“) – one of the forts of the outer ring of the Warsaw fortress, located in the Włochy district in the Zbarż estate between the streets: Wirażowa, Żwirki i Wigury, Winiarska and Benetta, with an area of 29.7 ha

Szczęśliwicki Park is a city park in Warsaw's Ochota district, between Włodarzewska and Drawska streets. It was created in the 1960s on land that had been used for clay quarries and landfills, which had not been previously built on due to the proximity of the Warsaw Fortress forts. The reclaimed areas were developed socially - water reservoirs and a ski slope were created, and most of the area was wooded. The park has a sports and recreational character - it includes Glinianki Szczęśliwickie (approx. 7 ha), a year-round ski slope (Górka Szczęśliwicka, 138-152 m above sea level), an open swimming pool, playing fields and OSiR facilities. The water reservoirs are stocked and supervised by angling (PZW Circle No. 7). In 2020, the wooden pier was renovated. The park has natural significance - there are many species of birds here (approx. 70), as well as amphibians and fish. The flora includes poplars, maples, limes and other pioneer species. Despite the anthropogenic origin of the substrate and degraded soil, the area is an important haven of biodiversity in Warsaw.

Fort VII, also known as "Zbarż", is one of the forts of the outer ring of the Warsaw Fortress, located in the Włochy district, in the Zbarż housing estate. Built in the years 1883–1908, it has an area of 29.7 ha. The fort is a single-rampart, surrounded by a moat and erected on a pentagonal plan. It was partially dismantled after 1909, and during one of the modernizations a concrete anti-scarp caponier was added, the ruins of which have survived to this day. During the occupation, the fort was flooded, and after the war the area was used by the military until 1999.

Raszyn Ponds is a faunal nature reserve in the Raszyn commune, protecting a rich ecosystem of water and marsh birds. It includes several ponds that were created in the 18th century and today serve both a protective and economic function. The reserve has an area of over 155 ha and is under active protection. It is an important place for ornithologists - about 100 species of birds nest here, including grebes, swans, herons, cormorants and black-headed gulls. The ponds are surrounded by floodplain forests and reed beds, and valuable plant species grow on their areas, including orchids. The reserve is open to tourists - there are observation towers here, as well as monuments such as the Baroque statue of God the Father and the Tchorek plaque commemorating the victims of executions from World War II.

Fast asphalt (low resistance), almost always windy, lots of people on weekends, but still worth it...

Amazing reservoir 💪, worth a visit

The 6-hectare reservoir serves as a retention reservoir. Its main purpose is flood protection, but it is also an ideal place for residents and tourists to relax. At its shore, there is a square with a playground, picnic tables and a gazebo. Bathing is prohibited in the reservoir, but it is still a great place for a family picnic, a bike trip or a walk. In autumn and spring, the area changes into a kingdom of birds. Here you can see herons, swans and several species of ducks, including teals, mallards and pochards. It is worth taking a closer look at the latter - these seasoned divers can dive to a depth of 2.5 meters!

It's impossible to get in, it's overgrown. There are a lot of homeless people staying overnight.
