In front of a big tree
Wilhelmina's Meadow.
A vast area by the Młynówka with exceptionally beautiful trees, remnants of which we see on the right and left side of the meadow. Recently, a stone with the inscription "Wilhelmine" was found, confirming the existence of such a place. Wilhelmina was the eldest daughter of Peter Biron, his successor, and for the first time as a woman could officially inherit property. Currently, there is a concrete square where, in the turn of the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, flying model competitions and motorcycle races took place. The square was used by various reenactment groups to show how the city of Żagań and the POW Camp Stalag Seven C and Luft Three were liberated. It now serves as a venue for park seminars to unveil Peter Biron's View Axis. During the time of court gardener Friedrich Teichert, a glade was marked through the alder swamps of the Bobr, forming a viewing axis along the entire area up to Peter's Hill (Peterhӧhe) in the Central Park, at least seventy meters wide and twelve hundred meters long, which was supposed to end in a straight line on the cliff on the opposite bank of the Rear Bobr, at the level of the Railway Station. The line was supposed to end with a mausoleum, where Peter Biron, who died in eighteen hundred, was to rest after death, but things turned out differently, and the mausoleum and plaques with inscriptions have not survived to this day. Going further in the southwest direction, we come across a place, especially important and valued by Duchess Dorothea, the Zatonie Square.
