The following sites are on the City Tourist Route (the numbers correspond to the numbering along the route):ĥ. The route begins and ends in front of the Szczecin Central Railway Station. A pocket guidebook published in various languages, including a map of the route, can be purchased at the tourist information centres, the local seat of Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society and in bookstores. Near to each number an information board with a detailed description of the object is either suspended on the wall of the building or standing alone. Numbers in circles act as supplementary signs corresponding to each site on the route. The route is marked by an easily found red dotted line painted on the pavement, and thus the common name of the trail is the “Red Route”. The idea behind the route was to commemorate the 750th anniversary of granting town privileges to Szczecin. The City Tourist Route is a 7-km-long loop which connects 42 sites – the most interesting monuments and places worthseeing. Moreover, a large park is situated near the Chrobry Embankment. In addition, in the southern part of the Embankment a building complex of the Maritime Academy is located (from the years 21) and, housed in the same building, Contemporary Theatre and the Maritime Branch of the National Museum. In the years 1906 to 1912 in the northern part of the terrace an architectural complex was built for the then regency of Szczecin, where now the authorities of the West-Pomeranian province have their headquarters. At the bottom, there is a fountain decorated with figures of John of Kolno and Wyszak and two tall columns stylized as lighthouses. Wide staircases run on both sides from the terrace to the banks of the river, where two pavilions were erected as the entrance to the restaurant, created contemporarily in the remains of the fortifications. Thanks to the great commitment of Hermann Haken, High Mayor of Szczecin, in the years 1902-1905 a viewing terrace was formed on the site of Fort Leopold. In 1873, a demolition of the eighteenth-century fortifications of Szczecin began. The earliest written history of the area dates back to the sixteenth century. The viewing terraces are 500 m long and are located 19 m above the Odra river bank. From here you can watch the vast panorama of the Odra River and the harbour. It's got tongues wagging across the entire town, and there are a few prime suspects.The Chrobry Embankment, formerly Haken’s Terraces, one of the most beautiful places in Europe. Some are letterboxes, some are plant holders, and some are just art for art's sake, but whoever is creating them must be local as each minion reflects something about the person whose house they are nearest to. They are popping up in front of properties in Warrak, a hamlet of 70 people near Ararat. The sturdy sculptures are expertly painted and made of gas bottles and scrap metal. Last year, inspired by TikTok, groups of young men around the globe attended screenings of the latest Despicable Me instalment wearing tuxedos.īut an art trail in a one-horse town in Australia was probably the last thing Universal Pictures had in mind when it commissioned the franchise.įor the past three-and-a-bit months, someone has been stealthily installing minion artworks in western Victoria.
