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).
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.
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.
Sandomierz is one of Poland's most picturesque little towns. Actually, in the 12 century, Sandomierz was one of Poland's most important commercial centers. It's nice to admire Sandomierz from the river side since the town is situated on a hill.
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.
Smielow Palace. This is a neo-classical palace dating back to 1800. Inside there is a museum detailing the life of Poland's most famous Romantic poet Adam Mickiewicz. Mickiewicz featured the Smielow area in his most famous work 'Pan Tadeusz.'
Pieniny Mountains architecture. Like in many mountainous areas the roofs are steep so the snow doesn't accumulate on top of them. Also, the ground floor is usually supported with the stones. The stones come straight from the Dunajec river (a really abundant resource, e.g. white marble).
ZAMEK KSIAZAT POMORSKICH or Pomerania Duke Castle is a very vibrant place. If you are looking for some good music that's a place to go. The castle is a host to several music festivals.Here they are:International Choral Festival, Sundays Noon Concerts, Chamber Music Evenings at the Candles, and the ones I'm familiar with are called Promenade Concerts in the Summer. Some famous artists like Jose Careras, Michal Urbaniak, Goran Bregovic and Chuck Mangione performed at this castle.
Pieniny Mountains and Dunajec River Gorge raft trip. I would say early fall is the best time to take a raft trip. All the trees and bushes turn many different shades of gold, red, burgundy and brown.
Zamek Czorsztyn (Czorsztyn Castle) is situated across Niedzica Castle in the Pieniny Mountains. The ruins look scary and impressive at the same time. There are more 'LESS KNOWN CASTLES OF POLAND' in the traveloque!
