KAZIMIERZ DOLNY. Beautiful evening view.Anatol Stern, a writer, once said, 'I know people who eat breakfast in Warsaw, dinner in London and supper in Paris, but return for the night to Kazimierz, for that is the town of their dreams.'Kazimierz Dolny is a small town situated on the banks of Vistula river. The town has always been popular with the artists, especially painters. It has a nice Mediterranean feel. To learn more about Kazimierz Dolny please visit my LUBLIN PAGE.

Kazimierz Dolny- hidden between hills and Wisla river.It is one of the pearls of polish Renaisance, which in XVI century was known as 'Little Gdansk'. Now the city is in fashion- lots of people come here to catch marvelous atmosphere of little town, which made many artists stay here.

by rolnik

Mazury is Polish “Land of 1000 Lakes”- in fact there are much more of them: small, bigger and huge. Every summer the region is conquered by enthusiastics of sailing, yachting, fishing or walking in huge forrests. You will easly find there places untouched by human feet both as marinas crowded with people.

Jura Krakowsko- Czestochowska is very interesting region which spreads from Krakow to Czestochowa. Lots of castles, mainly ruins of them from XIV century, are situated on steep hills and rocky mountains. There are also almost empty valleys with marvellous limestones.

little town- Chelmno on Visla river might be interesting destination. Undamaged during the war and ommited by industrial revolution it is now one of few cities which are so historic. Moreover the shape of streets, town hall, gates are from medieval and Renaissance times. Is is situated 30 km north of Torun - so there are many buildings from Teutonic and German eras.

hiking in Bieszczady Mountains. Silence, emptiness, wilderness. You, space and nature. Bieszczady are said to be the most remote, wild part of Poland. The landscape reminds that from Scotland.This is the place for people who want to escape from civilization.

Visit „Perfect city”- Zamosc. It is situated near the east border, and due to this location city is rather undiscovered by foreign tourists.All the city was build at the end of XVI century by thr order of Jan Zamoyski. It is based on European idea of perfectly disigned city. The huge Market Square is the place you won’t forget, especially Town Hall. Lately, all the city complex with fortifications was wriiten on UNESCO’s Haritage List.

For real trill-seekers. While exploring Zielona Gora and Lubuskie province, ask around about the Nazi Germany's bunker-cities constructed prior to and during WW2... underground! Yes! You will not believe all the structures built by the Nazis underground, extending tens of kilometers long...including railway stations, etc.

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.
