Care about Water and Bathe with Friends

  • Walk through the swamps
    • Within the city limits, and in a condition that merits legal protection, there are still surviving flood meadows and some oxbow lakes within the Vistula embankments (such as Lake Czerniakowskie in Mokotów, or the sequence of lakes in the Wilanów district). As well as these, there are remaining traces of wetlands in Powsin, Powsinek, underneath Skarpa Ursynowska and in Zakole Wawerskie, as well as mid-forest peatbogs in waterlogged depressions on the Wołomin Plain (including Jacek Marsh, Zielony Ług, Biały Ług). Together with Wiktor Kotowski, and Adam Snopek – naturalists from the Wetlands Conservation Centre – we would like to invite you on sightseeing tours, during which they will reveal to you the beauty of the Warsaw marshes, their unique character and the key role they have in the Warsaw ecosystem.

  • Visiting the Filter Station
    • The Filter Station, designed by William Lindley, is probably the last of this type of 19th-century construction in Europe: almost entirely preserved, perfectly maintained and in operation since 1886. Together with our partner, the Municipal Water and Sewerage Company, we invite you to pay a visit. The programme of the tour includes the museum of water supply and sewage systems, the water tower, the oldest slow filter, dating back to 1886, as well as the fast filter plant from the 1930s.
