Zielona Góra (Grünberg in Schlesien) a city in the western part of Poland, celebration of the grape harvest festival, postcard from the 1980s.

Zielona Gora is known as the Polish capital of wine. It used to be the northernmost area in Europe with grape cultivation. The likely beginnings of the city's wine-making traditions date back to 1150, when settlers from Franconia arrived in Zielona Gora and brought cuttings and wine-growing skills.
