There is a reason why people call Wesola and Rembertów “the lungs of Warsaw”. This district is surrounded in 70 % by forest and in 30% by reinforced concrete fence. You can get here by two buses 183 and 514 or take the train. The only way to escape from Rembertów is to go along the Marsa street, which leads to Prague , the rest of the roads are apparently leading into the forest. It is said that Rembertów is one of the safest distrcits of Warsaw. Nobody doesn’t add that this district accounts for a military training ground.
