 A view on place called
"brama krakowska" by earendil,
4 more photos
It's a jurassic valley surrounded by a nice beech forest with big rock made of clear limestone with a small river in the back.
A lot of easy walks are signed and you can also visit old castles and caves.
Many "noclegi" helps you if you need to sleep there.
In Ojcow, the small village, there is a nice bar, in the basement of the post office, called "the bat" (but in polish, i can't remember) where you can find nice food, a wood fire and you also can play chess during a cold autumn evening.
Only one problem !! they don't have vodka.
In autumn, the valley is very nice with the colours of the trees and you could see animals during a early walk in the nature. Leave a Comment

There are several interesting and valuable cultural monuments in the region, of which a few at least should not be missed. One of these is the Renaissance palace in Sucha called "the little Wawel". It stands at the foot of Mt. Jasien, surrounded by a park in which you can find the "gardner's house" with its regional museum, open seasonally.
At the beginning of the XVIIth century a church- monestary complex was built on the heights above the Sucha market square. It was here that the Lateran brothers had their base.
It is certainly worthwhile seeing the wooden inn `Rzym` (Rome) built in the middle of the XVIIIth century. This inn on the market square in Sucha has welcomed not only merchants and travelers, but the infamous local highwaymen as well.

 Treblinka Memorial by cheekymarieh
The central monument says the words ' Never Again'. Scattered around this central statue are 17,000 smaller rocks that represent the number of executions per day.
Treblinka is about 2 hours drive from Warsaw. It is not easily accessible by public transport. Leave a Comment Other Contact: For more see my travelogue.

 The Carpathians - Tatras/Tatry
mountains by Elodie_Caroline
I once had a weird and beautiful dream when I was in my twenties, and in this dream I just 'knew' that I was in the Carpathian mountains, not so strange really, as my forefathers are from Eastern Europe I suppose?
In my dream it was a cold Winter's late afternoon, the only colours I could see were a vivid electric blue, ice white, various whites greys and black, but it was beautiful!
I was in an old Gothic graveyard on the top edge of a mountain. All I could see were the beautiful old gravestones, thick pure white snow all around on the ground, and there were black ornate wrought iron railings ro stop you going over the edge of the mountain. The sky was the most amazing electric blue that I had ever seen in my life!
I just 'know' that this is in the Carpathians and I wonder if anyone can ever tell me where my dream actually took place?
I looked up on the net and found out that the Tatras mountains go along the borders in Slovakia & Poland, and are actually the largest range of mountains of the Carpathians!
Now try and tell me that we didn't live in lives before this one now.

Pultusk is one of the oldest towns of the Mazowsze region. Pultusk was probably first founded in 1257, but the documentary evidence preserved allows to trace its foundation back to the 1339 year.
Each time the invincible town was restored to life. As a result, tourists today can admire its beautiful historical monuments and unique nature.
A history lover will find here 400-metre-long Marketplace which is the longest one in Europe, and for Collegiate Church with recently renovated Renaissance frescoes on the vault (known as "the Pultusk vault") in the nave.

 Main Square by cheekymarieh
As a result you will find it more relaxing to visit during the week. In common with many Polish towns it has developed around the central Rynek. There are some varying styles of architecture around the square including Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque.
One spot well worth visiting is the castle and the Three Crosses Mountain. There are some well marked trails around the area.
There is a Jewish monument to those who suffered during the Second World War. Very little remains of the Jewish heritage remains other than the rebuilt synagogue and the monument. Leave a Comment
