  • Tip Rating:
  • GORY STOLOWE or 'Table Mountains' are spectacular. I just love mountains. I have my special names for different rock formations. I think many look like gigantic mushrooms that are glued together. The colors of the rocks are especially spectacular after the rain. But it does get very slippery especially that so many rocks that you're walking on are flat (Table Mountains, he, he). I think that these mountains look sort of unreal like a fairy tale. There are wooden boards on the ground in some places (placed there to ease the walking). Be prepared to squeeze between some narrow! rocks.

  • Tip Rating:
  • OGRODZIENIEC CASTLE ruins look a little bit out of this world. Ogrodzieniec is situated only about 50 km from Krakow.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Ojcowski Park Narodowy (Ojcowski National Park). Great natural treasures of this park are enriched by a castle (Pieskowa Skala) built by King Kazimierz Wielki (Casimir the Great; picture by Adam Golec).

  • PEPLIN.
    There are some beautiful religious structures to be seen in Peplin. The Cistercian abbey is marvelous. Aslo the cathedral (Cathdedral of Virgin Mary) seen in the picture is a great example of Gothic architecture.

    Palace Krzyztopor in Ujazd. ...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Palace Krzyztopor in Ujazd. You'll stare at these ruins of once magnificent aristocratic residence for hours and you still won't be able to believe their size. This palace is a very interesting object. It used to be the BIGGEST RESIDENCE in Europe until the Versailles in Paris supressed it. The ruins are astonishing and a little bit spooky at the same time. The Osolinski family used to own the palace. Like many aristocratic families the Osolinski family had a strange design in mind when they commisioned the place. The palace has 4 TOWERS FOR 4 SEASONS, 12 HUGE HALLS FOR 12 MONTHS, 52 ROOMS FOR EACH WEEK AND YEAH, YOU GET THE PATTERN 365 WINDOWS FOR THAT SAME NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE YEAR.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Piatek (meaning Friday). This town marks the exact CENTER OF POLAND. Actually the exact center is marked by the stone monument (in the picture) outside the city center. The picture is not very clear because it was taken while driving. Also the date in the bottom right corner is wrong. The clock in the camera wasn't set right. The picture was really taken in August 2001.
