This is a cult place for Wrocław cyclists, especially MTB (cross-country) enthusiasts. The hill and the surrounding paths offer steep climbs, descents, and natural obstacles, which is why bicycle competitions were regularly organized here.

It is not a natural hill. It was formed at the beginning of the 20th century (around 1920–1928) from the earth and sand excavated during the construction of the nearby Oder Canals: Navigational and Flood. The official name, of course, refers to the highest mountain in Africa. In German times (before 1945), the elevation was called Leerbeutler Rodelberg (Zaleska Górka Saneczkowa). After the war, Poles began to ironically or affectionately call it "Kilimanjaro" because it stood out in the flat landscape of this part of Wrocław. The name caught on so well that it made it onto the official city maps.

Currently, one of the beams is broken, but you can still cross the Ax this way without any problems.
