This is the railway track through Barbarka Forest. Today it's rarely used.

The Barbarka War Memorial

This striking statue of a fallen figure now stands in the Barbarka forest, close to the cemetry of Poles shot by the Nazis. Over a period of several months in 1939 the Nazis shot over 600 citizens from Toruń and the surrounding area. Their bodies were buried in mass graves deep within the forest.

Treetop Fun!

With the weather generally be great at the moment...Barbarka forest is once again inundated with tourists. The main attraction is this treetop assualt course. With it's array of ropes and flying foxes...divided into different levels of difficulty...it is guranteed fun for the whole family!!!

Low-flying Russians!

Was out exploring the Barbarka forest last weekend...when all of the sudden this low-flying Russian-built Antonov An-2 plane flew overhead...it was so low that it felt like it was going to scrape the trees (though am sure the pilot still had a perfectly safe altitude). Guess the plane was heading towards Toruń's airfield.

Woodland Retreat

Fancy a break away from the hustle and bustle of the big smoke? Then this new hotel deep in the Barbarka forest is a perfect place to relax. What's more...it's only 12km away from the hustle and bustle that is Toruń. Even if the hustle and bustle in Toruń is only really quite small. ;-)

Treetop Adventure

People come from all corners of Poland to try this exciting treetops assault course deep in the Barbarka forest (12km north of Toruń). Come and try it sometime...are you brave enough?
