 Lake Morsie Oko by swesn
For the not-so-fits, a walk to Lake Morskie Oko is highly achievable. The entire 9km road is paved and is quite crowded with visitors, ranging from the very young and the very old. These were constantly overtaking me, by the way. There is a restaurant in a charming wooden building at Lake Morskie Oko.
The weather is always changeable so be very prepared if you are venturing out for longer hikes. The day I was there, the weather did not change… it rained incessantly during my entire hike. Leave a Comment

Pajezsno was an interesting experience in our tour thru Poland in search for my ancestors. I "met" Romek on line thru Ancestry.com... same as Gosia, our guide. Romek, (tall high school student at left of photo) built his own computer...welcomed us to his town...introduced us to his mother (center of photo) - who worked at the town hall. His mother searched the town's records for our family name ...to no avail. But she connected us to a high school teacher who had written a book about the town and its history. We visited the high school and caused quite a stir w/ teachers and students. Who are these crazy Americans in our town? They don't have many visitors .. especially from the USA. The whole experience was fascinating for everyone concerned that day.
Pajezsno is a simple little town with no particular distinguishing landmarks. Maybe that is why we had the experience we had. People at the town hall, the high school, the local restaurant, the local church... all trying to welcome us and help us with our search for family roots. It is these simple human moments that tell me the most about a place and its people. Leave a Comment

Lublin and it's fine old town does not seem to receive many foriegn travelers. In fact I was the only one I knew. This is a shame because I actually found that the Stare Miasto (old town of Lublin) to be rather alluring. At least it is worth diverting yourself to if you are traveling through this part of Poland.
The Stare Miasto has several old gates of interest, a very good castle museum, and several mostly Renaissance designed churches. The problem with Lublin is the state of condition of several buildings in the Stare Miasto. Unlike much of the rest of Poland's fine old towns, Lublin did not actually suffer severe damage during the Second World War. However the Stare Miasto was very much neglected by the Communists for the 45 years after the war. Many buildings in Lublin are being torn down and rebuilt as best they can be so that they appear authentic.
Finally I found overall the town of Lublin outside of the Stare Miasto to be appealing with lots of hotels, restaurants and decent nightlife. Therefore you could consider Lublin a base for visiting this part of Poland. Leave a Comment

 You can't miss it- it's by the
road. by zaffaran
The castle in Radzyn was built in 13th/14th century, you can visit the ruins and climb up one of the towers. Warning!Very little space on the top of the tower! In the town a gothic church is also worth paying a visit.
Radzyn is situated by the road No 534 from Grudziadz to Golub-Dobrzyn. Leave a Comment
