Green green grass…
“The Kampinoski (Kampinos) National Park […] is situated in Poland’s Central Mazovian Lowland, between the left bank of the River Vistula and the Bzura, just beyond the north-western outskirts of the country’s capital, Warsaw. In this it is almost unique, being the only European Park to border on to a capital city, and one of only two such sites in the world. It covers 38,544 ha (including 68 in the form of the European Bison Breeding Centre at Smardzewice in Łódź voivodship), and is surrounded by a buffer zone of 37,756 ha2.” ( more on http://kampinoski-pn.gov.pl/en.php ).

One of the things I like the most in Warsaw is its greeness. Parks and other green recreation spots occupies 8% of total Warsaw area. Among 82 municipal parks the biggest one is about 70 ha2 ( Royal Łazienki, where you can feed squirrels) and small ones have at least 2 ha2. Unlike other European’s capitals like London or Paris, Warsaw is more spread and still has a lot of space even right in a city center.
