Chrobry Embankment, Szczecin.

Chrobry Embankment^[1] (Polish: Wały Chrobrego), previously known as Haken Terrace (German: Hakenterrasse), is an observation deck in Szczecin, Poland. Located on an escarpment along the Oder river, it is 500 metre (546.8 yard) long and, together with National Museum, Ducal Castle and Cathedral Basilica of St James the Apostle, it forms an urban and architectural plan.

It was designed and constructed under the supervision of between 1902 and 1921. It was commissioned by city mayor, Hermann Haken, after whom it was originally named following his death. After the city was transferred to Poland at the end of World War II, the observation deck was renamed after Bolesław I the Brave, a duke of Duchy of Poland and later a king of Kingdom of Poland, known in Polish as Bolesław Chrobry.
