Starting point

The begging of the path is located at the end of Abrahama street in Gdańsk. It’s also entrance to the Samborowo Valley and Zielona (Green) Valley. There a few parking spots available, but since it’s not a popular turist destination it’s not crowded.

The closest you can get here using public transport is by bus 149 or 249 to Norblina stop. If you don’t mind an extra 10 minutes walk you can use a train or tram to Strzyża PKM stop.

Samborowo Valley

The valley name comes from Sambor I, a governor of Gdańsk Pomerania in the end of 12th century. At the time that Gdańsk was dominated by German-speaking citizens the valley was called Henrietta Valley (ger. Henriettental). The walk through the valley is quote short and flat. At the crossroad you should turn right to climb a hill. The path is not very steep, but steadily takes you up the hill. Alternatively, you can pick the more challenging climb by continuing straight ahead. You will reach the final attitude fast and then the path became flat.

Ridge

At the top of the hill where the two mentioned paths meet pick the path that leads north. It goes through the ridge with two valleys on each side. The one on right is Samborowo which you just passed, the one on the left is Zielona (Green) Valley. The path is flat and easy to walk. The view on the valleys is mostly blocked by the trees. Approximately in the middle of the ridge on your left you will find a path descending to the Zielona Valley. It’s pretty steep without any safety measures, so be careful especially if it’s wet.

Głowica

Once you reach the flat area again it means you are in the Zielona Valley. Soon enough there is a cross-road. The path to the left is the one you will use to go back. Meanwhile, proceed straight ahead to climb another hill. It’s not Głowica yet, but definitely significant increase in altitude. Well, at least in the context of the area. After a few left turns you will find yourself on the path leading to the top of Głowica. It’s the highest point of the area but the view is completely obstructed by trees. The hill was used as a placement for one of the leading light towers of the Wrzeszcz airport. The airport was moved to the current location in 1974. The tower is no longer used for the intented purpose but still stands there.

Zielona Valley

After a short backtracking you will find a path descending to the Zielona Valley. This one is pretty mild and the path through the valley is flat which means getting back to the starting point should be very easy.

Going back

The path is a loop so if you came here by a car you will find yourself back at the parking spot.

For public tranportation you can use the same stops as mentioned in the beginning in the opposite direction.
