Świnoujście
by ant1606
Formerly Swinemünde (Swine river mouth), it sits in the only Polish-soil in the eastern part of the Baltic island of Uznam (Usedom in German). Not much of a difference these days, as the two countries are only separated by a line of different color marked on the paved coastal walkway. As of August 2011 the border area was being renovated and we cycled through it from Germany almost without noticing, when a look to both sides revealed a wide sandy ditch. Beyond this point it takes to read signs to realize the change of territory. It took me some exercise before I could decently pronounce Świnoujście. The Świna river is the only barrier to Poland's mainland - actually Wolin island - which is connected by free-of-charge ferries scheduled every 20 minutes - during daytime at least. The city center doesn't have much to offer but plenty of bars, cafe and restaurants can be found...

Wielkopolski Park Etnograficzny
by zaffaran
Definitely worth visiting. It is an open-air museum which has many types of local architecure and shows how diversified the local society was.(I didn't know that so many Dutch settlers used to live in the area!Maybe that explains why there are so many windmills there!)To get there you must turn left while driving along E 261 from Poznan to Gniezno ( towards Dziekanowice-there are road signs)

Hike the Poland/Slovakia border in the Tatras
by loutzenhiser
Zakopane is a small mountain resort town south of Krakow that is definitely worth a visit. The town is mostly used by vacationing Poles, and when I was there I think I was the only foreign tourist. The town is charming, with a long main street that has traditional wooden mountain architecture. Off the main streets there are still traditional farms with charming haystacks and cows and goats. A healthly walk from the town is a cable car that will take you high up into the Tatras, allowing you to hike along the Polish\Slovakian border viewing beautiful and unusual mountain landscapes and mountain lakes.
Fantastic castles and palaces
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..
a tiny little village
by margaretvn
Zelazowa Wola is a tiny little village but is known in the Musical world because it is the birthplace of Chopin. The house where he was born is surrounded by a beautiful park with lots of shady places to sit and listen to the wonderful music of Chopin which is played through loud speakers. The music is not so loud just pleasing to listen to. The house itself is very empty with a couple of pictures and a paino they think Chopin could have played on. Of course during the last war so much of Polands heritage was destroyed by the German invaders and this is certainly true with Chopins belongings. The Chopin family moved from Zelazowa Wola to Warsaw in 1810 and of course Fryderyk Chopin lived in (and died) in Paris for a long time. In the park there are 4 Chopin monuments. There is a cafe and a restaurant and a nice little gift shop. In the gift shop is a plaster cast of chopin's hand and...

Paprocka Steel Works
by matcrazy1
It's completely off the beaten path place. I'm sure that no foreigner visit it yet.It's located in old Paprocany district of my hometown Tychy.Paprocka Steel Works was established in Paprocany in 18th century. Until 1878 in excavated and processed iron ores. A heading left by the plant was flooded by the Gostynka river to form Lake Paprocanskie. Currently, the former steel works buildings are owned by the city and are testimony to the early industrial activity in the area - there is small museum here, just nothing but if you love nowhere...MORE: in my Paprocka Huta page (Paprocka Hute means Paprocka Steel Works).
