History
editThe artificial mount was build in 1976, during the construction of the neighbourhood of Jary. It was made from the dirt excavated during local construction, and damages building materials that were thrown away into the pile. It was proposed by engineer Henryk Cwil (1920–1990), after whom it was named. In 1977 was opened the Roman Kozłowski Park, centred arouns the mound.[1][2]
