INDEX

[N1815] Inowroclaw,
One of the largest towns of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Province, the nominal capital of Western Kujawy. It is situated on the Piast Route, close to water routes and the historical settlement of Ascaucalis a Roman era trade emporium of the Amber Trail. The oldest written mention of Inowroclaw dates back to the year 1185. Today, the administrative area of the city covers 3 thousand hectares, including 300 hectares of urban greenery. Park Solankowy (a brine park), arranged as a French garden, stretches out over the area of 55 hectares. Its western part accommodates brine graduation towers, one of three therapeutic structures like this in Poland. The River Notec flows through the southern part of the town, connecting it with the Odra and Vistula basins. Inowroclaw attempts to combine the functions of a health resort, based on an extensive system of sanatoriums, with those of an economic centre, making use of the rich resources chiefly rock salt beds found under the town and in its outskirts. The latter makes it often called a "city on salt".
