Oliwa forests are forests located in Gdańsk.
The total area is 60 km².
The forests belonged to the monastery in Oliwa since 1188. Just after First Partition of Poland, on November 1, 1772, King of Prussia took over the forests.
Famous quotes containing the word forests:
“I have, indeed, even omitted facts, which, on account of their singularity, must in the eyes of some have appeared to border on the marvelous. But in the forests of South America such extraordinary realities are to be found, that there is assuredly no need to have recourse to fiction or the least exaggeration.”
