Park Północny has a completely different atmosphere than St. Francis Park. It is much wilder, more naturalistic, and wooded. Its greatest attraction are three large fishponds (northern, central, and southern), which are a paradise for local waterfowl, amphibians, and unique vegetation (the protected water chestnut grows here, among other plants). The park's absolute highlight is a charming island on one of the ponds, accessed by a modern wooden footbridge (pier) and a Roman pavement. It's an ideal spot, isolated from the hustle and bustle, for a short rest on the route. In the area of Elfów and Edukacji streets, you will also find characteristic red architectural frames serving as original benches that frame the views of the greenery.

Surface: Natural, dirt-and-gravel path running along embankments and dikes. In places, it can be muddy or overgrown with grass after rainfall. Gravel / MTB / trekking tires will work best. Number and names of reservoirs: Officially, it is a complex of 9 ponds (Krzemieńczyk Duży, Adam Duży, Średni, Górny, Zimowy, Letni, Malinowski, and the Kościelecki I and II, divided by a dike). In the terrain, considering small hydrological cutoffs, up to 10 can be counted. Nature and protection: Natura 2000 protected area (Dolina Dolnej Soły) and a natural-landscape complex. Breeding ground for rare birds, including the white-winged tern. Beautiful views of the water surfaces and reed beds can be seen from the dikes. Route connection: The complex borders the Soła river embankments to the west and smoothly transitions into the Grojeckie Ponds area to the south. It offers an excellent, car-free connection between the southern districts of Oświęcim and Zaborze and Grojec.

Stawy Adofińskie An exceptionally picturesque, flat gravel section leading through the dikes of a historic complex of 9-10 carp ponds in the Soła Valley. A refuge for wild birds, ideal for a peaceful ride on a trekking or gravel bike, or for a hike away from car traffic.
