Geocache Description:


Palms of Mokotow / Palmy na Mokotowie


[ENG]

There is modern housing estate near park called Pole Mokotowskie in Warsaw. It seems that in such place you can find only expensive cars... but this place hides, in its' heart, 80 years old palms! Palm house was opened on 29th November 1929 by Jozef Leon Danielewicz, as a part of program Warsaw in flowers, which provided a plan of decorating Warsaw with flowers from around the world. There were date-palms, banana palms and fig-trees planted. In the end of Second World War building was completely damaged, but fortunately trees survived. After the war, palm house was rebuilded and it stayed unchanged since 2008. When palms where too big for old building, owner decided to build new bigger and modern palm house. Nowadays there is also sushi restaurant in this building.

Cache is hidden in front of palm house. Be careful.

W poblizu parku Pole Mokotowskie znajduje sie nowoczesne osiedle. Moze sie wydawac, ze w takim miejscu nie znajdziemy niczego poza drogimi samochodami... Jednak to miejsce w swoim sercu kryje ponad 80-letnie palmy! Palmiarnia zostala otworzona 29 listopada 1929 roku przez Józefa Leona Danielewicza, w ramach programu Warszawa w kwiatach, który zakladal przystrojenie stolicy kwiatami z calego swiata. W palmiarni zasadzono palmy daktylowe, bananowe oraz figowce. Pod koniec II Wojny Swiatowej budynek zostal zniszczony, ale rosliny jakims cudem ocalaly. Po wojnie palmiarnia zostala odbudowana i w niezmienionej formie przetrwala az do 2008 roku. Kiedy wokól palmiarni zaczely rosnac apartamentowce, a palmy byly na tyle duze, ze nie miescily sie juz w starym budynku, zdecydowano sie na przebudowe palmiarni. Dzisiaj w budynku miesci sie równiez restauracja sushi.

Cache znajduje sie naprzeciwko palmiarni. Uwazaj.
