Dobrzyca 76, Koszalin
The Hortulus Spectabilis Gardens lie in Dobrzyca in the Będzino commune, a dozen or so kilometres from Koszalin. The complex of show gardens holds the world's largest hornbeam maze and the northernmost dendrological collection in Poland.
Eighteen thousand hornbeams were planted on a single hectare, and the maze paths together run to over three kilometres. Three routes are on offer, 396, 924 and 1003 metres long, all leading to the central square with a viewing tower. Its steel structure with two spiral flights of stairs echoes the shape of a DNA strand, and the platform hangs 18 m above the gardens.
Next door are the Gardens of Magic, Energy, Time and Space, so a visit can easily be extended. The ground is flat and the paths paved and accessible with a pushchair. The site is seasonal — it is at its best during the growing season.
