The Vistulan Boulevards are historical hydraulic boulevards used for flood management in Kraków, Poland. [1] The boulevards are structured from retaining walls (an upper, high and lower which is used to channel the river channel), [2] allowing the boulevards to perform a river port function. The nineteenth- and twentieth-century boulevards are used for flood management, namely during the floods of 1970, 1997, and 2010. [3]
The boulevards around the river channel of the Vistula and the Rudawa are part of an area of parkland, being a popular recreational area for Cracovians and tourists alike. [4] The boulevards are pedestrianised, with bicycle routes. [5]
