The May weekend on forest clearings

Robert Duchowski

The upcoming May weekend will surely bring crowds of locals to the forest clearings. Here's what you need to know before the eagerly awaited break.
Remember that there is drought in the forests. Reckless behaviour can very easily lead to a fire. Please light bonfires and barbecues in designated areas only. it is absolutely prohibited to light fires outside of fire pits or in deep forest.
Here are the clearings where you can spend leisure time during the May weekend:
- Polana Czerwona - three fireplaces (near Arkonka)
2. Polana Goplany - two fireplaces
3. Polana Miodowa - two fireplaces – at 3 Miodowa Street (cars can enter)

During the long weekend, all clearings will be cleaned every day in the morning. Use the many available waste bins. If possible, take your waste with you.
Everyone brings their own wood. It is absolutely prohibited to cut down or damage trees or bushes in the forest. Pick up whatever is on the ground.
There are portable toilets at each clearing. They will be serviced each day by 9 a.m. Servicing will consist of washing and sanitising the cubicles, emptying the liquid waste tanks, pouring disinfectant and odorant into cubicles, and replenishing toilet paper.
