Centuries ago, this area was home to the cultivated fields of the inhabitants of the former village of 艁odzia, the settlement that gave rise to present-day 艁贸d藕. As we journeyed together through successive centuries of history, participants discovered stories recorded in the buildings, watercourses and landscape, from the city鈥檚 agricultural roots, through the era of great industrial development, to the present day.
Highlights of the Walk
- Traces of Former Infrastructure: Former factory deep wells, a historic water tower and a dust tower.
- Water Heritage: Remains of former factory ponds, the industrial wastewater pre-treatment system and traces of the forgotten tributaries of the 艁贸dka River that have disappeared from the urban landscape.
- Historical Borders and Medieval Route: Sites marking the former boundary between 艁贸d藕 and Ba艂uty, as well as the route of the medieval road connecting 艁贸d藕 with Brzeziny.
The walk was led by Mi艂osz Wika, Press Spokesperson for the 艁贸d藕 Water Supply and Sewerage Company, who shared in a fascinating manner the stories hidden within places that we pass every day, often unaware of their remarkable past.
We would like to thank everyone who joined us and helped uncover the hidden 艁贸d藕 that remains invisible in everyday life!
