Unfortunately, they removed all the lilies this year, a shame, it looked beautiful. Unfortunately, the whole square is befouled by water creatures, tons of ducks and swans.

A mooring place for boats and water equipment that can be rented.

The TKt48 series locomotive (where T stands for "Tenderlocomotive," K for railway, t for freight, and 48 for the year of introduction) is a Polish post-war steam tank locomotive (without a separate tender for water and coal) with an axle configuration of 1'D1' (one trailing axle, four driven axles, one trailing axle). It was initially designed for suburban traffic and freight trains on light-gauge lines, as well as for use as a support locomotive in the mountains. Between 199 units were produced between 1950 and 1957 at the HCP (Poznań) and Fablok (Chrzanów) plants. They were favored by crews for their smooth running (up to 80 km/h) and good boiler efficiency. They lasted the longest in service on foothill and mountain routes (DOKP Kraków and Wrocław).

The Ty43 series locomotive is directly derived from the German wartime series (Kriegslokomotive) Baureihe 42 (BR 42). In Poland, after World War II, the decision was made to continue the assembly and production of these machines, using documentation and parts left mainly by the Germans. Origin: A simplified design with low axle loads, allowing for operation on less-than-smooth tracks. It was a more powerful version of the popular Ty2 series. Production: Ty43 series locomotives were built between 1947 and 1949 at the H. Cegielski plant in Poznań (HCP), where a total of 126 units were produced.

The Ty5 series (BR 50) was originally designed in Germany as a universal freight steam locomotive with an axle configuration of 1'E h2 (one front axle and five driven axles), characterized by a relatively low axle load (15 t). This feature allowed it to operate on lines with poorer track, making it ideal for servicing a wide rail network. Production: A total of over 3,100 units of this series were built between 1938 and 1942. In Poland: After World War II, over 50 locomotives of this type remained in Poland, designated PKP Ty5.

The Ty51-223 steam locomotive belongs to the Ty51 series, built between 1953 and 1958 at the H. Cegielski works in Poznań (then known as the J. Stalin Metal Industry Plant, ZISPO). These were locomotives with a 1'E axle configuration (one front axle and five drive axles), designed to pull the heaviest freight trains weighing up to 2,500 tons. The design was based on the American Ty246 series (so-called Liberation), supplied after the war as UNRRA aid.

The Wolsztyn Locomotive Depot is the last in Europe to maintain and use steam locomotives for scheduled passenger service. In 1886, the first railway line from Zbąszynek reached Wolsztyn. In the following years, Wolsztyn became a five-way railway hub (connections with Leszno, Grodzisk, Sulechów, and Nowa Sól). In 1907, the Wolsztyn Locomotive Depot was built as a technical base for the growing hub. Initially, it had four berths in the hall. In 1909, due to growing traffic needs, the locomotive depot was expanded to eight berths, giving it the appearance that has largely survived to this day.
