Kopiec Powstania Warszawskiego — Attraction in Warsaw

An exceptional place at any time of the day, though I personally enjoy being here in the early evening when the city's hustle and bustle ceases. The mound is situated at an elevation of 121 meters above sea level. At the top, there is a metal monument to Polska Walcząca and the longest stairs in Warsaw lead up to it. The stairs are named Al. Godziny “W,” which refers to 5:00 PM on August 1, 1944. From the top, there is a view of the city's panorama to the south and west.

The construction of the current mound began after 1945, with rubble from the destroyed buildings of Warsaw after the wartime devastation being transported to Czerniaków. It is a place of contemplation and reflection on how much heroic blood was shed to feel a moment of freedom from the occupier. This is an exceptional place on the map of Warsaw that everyone, especially those with a passion for history,...

Great idea, using rubble and rebar to tell the story. Some information signs are in English so you get the idea. Lots of pics of people pitching in to recycle the bricks from bombed buildings and how they used the rubble as a filler in concrete. The stairs to the top have interludes every few steps with a bench and an interesting piece of rubble, such as a chimney piece or tiled floor fragment. Beautifully constructed and well thought out, with one exception... Such completely paved parks, like the one at the bottom, aren't comfortable for locals to spend time in, and are ovens. Luckily there is a large area where they can build a fountain that reflects the mammoth task of re-plumbing Warsaw, perhaps something to do with the wells that were dug...

Sypanie obecnego kopca rozpoczęto po 1945, zwożąc na Czerniaków gruz ze zniszczonych warszawskich budynków, w tym nieraz znajdowano tam szczątki ludzkie. Kopiec ma 121 m wysokości i na szczyt prowadzi przeszło 350 stopni schodów ale po drodze są ławki. Wg mnie starsze osoby mogą dostać niezłej zadyszki a zwłaszcza w silne upały. Znajduje się przy ul. Bartycka, około 450 m od ul. Czerniakowskiej, po prawej stronie. Po drugiej stronie ulicy niegdyś sławna Budowlana Bartycka, gdzie można było dostać wszelkiej maści towary budowlane (obecnie bardzo podupadła). Ze szczytu kopca można podziwiać panoramę Warszawy w kierunku południowym i zachodnim. Każdy Polak i Polka powinni obowiązkowo odwiedzić ten pomnik i oddać część bohaterom Warszawy poległym w walce z okrutnym i bestialskim okupantem niemieckim w latach II wojny światowej. The current mound was shed after 1945, bringing rubble from destroyed Warsaw buildings to Czerniaków, where human remains were often found there. The mound is 121 m high and over 350 stairs lead to the top but benches are on the way. According to me, older people can get a good short of breath and especially in strong heat. It is located at ul. Bartycka about 450 m from ul. Czerniakowska, on the right. On the other side of the street was once the famous Construction Bartycka, where you could get all sorts of construction goods (currently very declined). From the top of the mound you can admire the panorama of Warsaw in the south and west. Every Pole and Pole should visit this monument and give away some Warsaw heroes who died in the fight against the cruel and bestial German invaders during the...
