Ruins of the Bismarckhöhe Sanatorium

Highlight • Historical Site

Sanatorium Bismarckhöhe / Sanatorium Finkenwalde / Kinderheim Bismarckhöhe from Hökendorf (now Bukowe-Klęskowo) on the extension of Mączna Street (German Mühlenstraße). In 1900, the medical doctor Lindtner bought land from the municipality of Hökendorf with the intention of opening a clinic-sanatorium. Carl Kelm supervised the design and construction of the Sanatorium Finkenwalde complex, and in 1902 the complex was opened. It consisted of a winter and summer pavilion connected with each other by a corridor leading to a large, glass dining room. It also had electricity, and the specialists employed there were among the most respected in their profession. From 1910 the sanatorium was called "Bismarckhöhe". During World War I (1914-1918) it was closed, but after its end, patients returned to it for four years. In 1923-29, the building, which was converted into a municipal orphanage, operated under the name "Kinderheim Bismarckhöhe". In 1926 the facades of the buildings were rebuilt, the facades were plastered, all ornaments and embellishments disappeared. In 1929, an old people's home was built there and the concrete wheelchair driveway built in 1930 has been preserved to this day. In 1937, a motorway was built in the immediate vicinity of the complex. The last trace of "Bismarckhöhe" is the address book from 1943. Unfortunately, the only information is that the owner was the city of Stettin at the time.
The buildings of the "Bismarckhöhe" survived the hostilities of March 1945, but at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s they were demolished by the inhabitants. The entrance gate posts (one is still standing), the already mentioned driveway for carriages and fragments of the building's foundations have remained to this day.

Baresel Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of many viewpoints overlooking the city of Szczecin. A 32-meter-high observation tower once stood on this site, of which only a few traces remain. However, you can still enjoy the view from a viewing point in the park. There are a few benches on the hill, although they have seen better days.

Emerald Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A concrete bridge, a remnant of the tracks of a railway transporting spoil from a former chalk and marl mine, operated by the nearby Portland cement factory "Stern" owned by the Toepffer family, established in 1862. In 1925, a sudden overflow of groundwater into the excavation occurred through a layer of permeable sand. The excavation was quickly taking on water. People were evacuated immediately. The excavation was flooded. A lake was created.
The bridge after major renovation. An inscription with the date of construction of the bridge - 1890 - was left.

Emerald Lake (Jezioro Szmaragdowe)

Highlight • Lake

Szmaragdowe Lake is located on the outskirts of Szczecin, near the Zdroje housing estate. The name comes from the characteristic greenish color of the water, which is due to the high lime content - the lake was created on the site of a former chalk mine. In 1925 the mine was flooded by water - at the bottom of the lake there are supposedly still flooded mining equipment. Narrow-gauge railway wagons, which transported the output from the mine, used to drive on the picturesque concrete bridge on the shore of the lake. The lake is constantly fed by groundwater. Currently, its maximum depth reaches 18 meters.
