    Jezioro Turkusowe near Miedzyzdroje. This place used to be a mine. During or after the WW II, it was floded and it became a lake with a unique colour, hence its name.
    Near by, one finds a lot of interesting sites, homes and artisans selling their stuff all-over. Don't miss the opportunity to aquire, what's called locally 'Polish Gold' - the amber and many products made with/of it.

    Polish castles
    by matcrazy1
    Over the centuries, Polish kings and magnates erected numerous defensive castles and stately palaces. Turbulent history has reduced many of them into piles of rubble. Some of them, however, have been spared and today - carefully restored - enchant us with their beauty.

    At present, some of these buildings house government offices, colleges, etc. Others serve as museums.

    Go and check out Miedzyzdroje on Polands northwest coast. Everybody outside of Poland usually hits Sopot during the summer, but Miedzyzdroje is, according to my high estimation, funner.

    Chelmno: My place of birth. It is a very old and beautiful town in the Pomerania district. You can feel the great atmosphere of this place while walkin around the lovely narrow streets of the oldest part of Chelmno. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

    Kaszuby: A lake district in north-central Poland. A great place if you like to walk around meadows, fields and orchards, swiming or sailing. Some Kashubians speak both Polish and a dialect incomprehensible even to the Poles or a mix of both.

    Wabrzezno: A town in the Pomerania district with forteen thousand residents. I've spent seven years in Wabrzezno. My dad and grandad still live there, they both have houses by two different lakes. What's interesting about this town is that it's sorrounded by three lakes and there are virtually no tourists there. The picture you can see on the left has been painted by my great grandfather, Bronislaw Stanczewski (I am sorry for the poor quality- will try to improve it in the nearest future)
