About this tour
This session walks along Malta Lake, an artificial lake built for rowing and canoeing that has hosted international competitions. You see the rowing course itself and, on the bank nearby, the dry ski slope that shares the same small area. It is a quick look at how the city fits several sports into one space.
I start with a sound check by the water, then walk the bank towards the ski slope, explaining how both facilities came to be built here. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards on the lake's competition history.
This suits anyone interested in sport or unusual uses of urban space. It also works well as a lighter, outdoor session between longer old town calls.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

You see the artificial lake built for rowing and canoeing, and I explain how it has hosted international competitions since it was built.

Further along the bank, the camera settles on the dry ski slope, and I explain how Poznan uses one small area for such different sports.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Poznan: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Pyry z gzikiem and Jeżyce, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
