Polski: Łatwo dojechać z Wrocławia samochodem, rowerem, a nawet pociągiem, bo stawy znajdują się w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie stacji Borowa Oleśnicka (ok. 10-15 minut spacerem). Zaparkować można przy samych stawach. Pomimo historycznych tabliczek zakazujących wstępu, w praktyce miejsce jest bez problemu licznie odwiedzane przez spacerowiczów i rowerzystów, głównie okolicznych mieszkańców. Spacer dookoła stawów zajmuje od godziny po kilka godzin.
