Ropes courses in Warsaw

April is the time when rope parks open after the winter break.

High ropes courses are a series of challenging obstacles situated in trees that you cross one by one – you move across obstacles, platforms, bridges constructed in trees. You are attached to a rope, and a belay keeps you safe.

Climb through the trees and take on tree-to-tree crossings on ropes courses! It’s a fantastic outdoor adventure for both kids and adults! In Warsaw and the Warsaw area, many rope parks offer courses for families with children and adults and older children.

Our post covers:

• Ropes course tips for beginners and what you need to know.
• 7 high ropes courses in Warsaw (in the districts of Praga, Ursynów, Bielany, Ursus, Wesoła, and Powsin).
• If you are looking for an idea for a day trip from Warsaw, our post includes six rope parks near Warsaw.

Duration of visiting the exhibition: approx. 1.5 hours. The visit of the youngest children is determined by their parents or teachers. Prior to visiting “BODY WORLDS” it is recommended that students and children review the guide, which is intended to help them become familiar with the exhibits and prepare them to gain the most from their learning experience (materials in English, materials in Polish).

One of the biggest botanical gardens in Poland: Arboretum Forest Educational Center

The Arboretum Forest Educational Center in Rogów – established in 1923 – is one of Poland’s most enormous (over 50 hectares) botanical gardens, run by the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. The Arboretum in Rogów is one of Europe’s most valuable plant collections. It’s “a forest park” located in the thinned-out forest area. You can admire there the collections of trees and shrubs of Central and Eastern Europe, protected, endangered, and rare plants, as well as “experimental” parts of the forest with foreign species and the Alpine Garden – the aplinarium.

Spring in the Arboretum is ruled by the colors of blooming flowers. Green dominates here in summer. Autumn welcomes with the beauty of the fall colors. The most popular time to visit the Arboretum is the blooming of azaleas and rhododendrons (April/May and June) and maple leaves in fall foliage colors (September or October, depending on the season).

• The Arboretum is located in Łódź voivodship, 40 km from Łódź (our tips on things to do in the city of Łódź) and 100 km from Warsaw.
• The Arboretum on Google Maps.
• “How to find us” tips in English on the garden’s website.

Weather in Poland in April

April in Poland has a similar saying as March about mixed weather conditions (‘Kwiecień plecień, bo przeplata – trochę zimy trochę lata‘ – April interweaves a little bit of winter and a little bit of summer). April in Poland is relatively warm and is considered by many people (along with May) the most beautiful time of year in Poland. The average monthly temperature in April in Poland is 8,5°C / 47.3°F, and the average monthly rainfall level is 37,3 mm (the second-lowest after February).

The Polish word for April, kwiecień, leaves no doubt about its origin. It derives from kwiat (“flower”), evoking the blossoms that begin to appear throughout Poland at this time of year.

Daffodils (żonkil) are the flowers associated in Poland with the arrival of spring and Easter. Forsythia (forsycja) is another flowering plant in Poland in March/April (frost-resistant), very popular in Polish gardens and parks. Other April flowers include crocuses, primroses, hyacinths, violets, daisies, pansies, tulips. The queen of April flowers in Poland is sweet violet (fiołek). The first fruit trees bloom in Poland in the second half of April.

It’s April when over 80,000 white storks (bocian) arrive from Africa to Poland (20% of their world population).

Holy Saturday (Wielka Sobota)
People bring to churches baskets (called in Polish święconka) filled with food to get a special blessing. Baskets usually include eggs as a symbol of rebirth (pisanki – boiled eggs painted in various colors and patterns), bread, salt, sausage, and sometimes other food – chocolate, cake, horseradish, etc. Food from święconka basket is shared the following day during festive Easter breakfast. Click here to learn more about Easter traditions in Poland.

Easter Day (Wielkanoc)

Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (1943) and the Daffodils Campaign
The major celebrations of the anniversary of the uprising in the Jewish ghetto in Nazi-occupied Warsaw are held each year at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes and POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. The POLIN Museum launched the Daffodils (żonkile) Campaign to commemorate the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Every year on April 19th, hundreds of volunteers distribute paper daffodils to raise awareness of the uprising and its significance (Marek Edelman, the last leader of the Uprising, who died in 2009, used to lay daffodils at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes on each anniversary). Click here to read our tips in English on visiting the POLIN Museum, and here to read about visiting the POLIN Museum with children. Click here to read more in English about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
