Wang church

by magor65

This wooden church made of Norwegian pine used to stand in the place called Vang in Norway. How did it come to its present destination? It was bought by Prussian king Friedriech Wilhelm who intended to take it to Potsdam. But the conntess von Reden begged the king to give it to her and so the church stood in its today's place in 1842. It is said that not a single nail was used to construct the building. All the elements are joined by means of pegs, just like in Viking boats. The ornamentations of the church are stunning: dragonheads, snakes, faces with two tongues, winged dragons.Today Wang church is one of 20 existing Viking churches. 19 of them are in Norway, mostly in skansens. The 20th one is in Polish Karkonosze at the height of 885m and is a working Protestant church. It is said that couples married here are exceptionally happy.

Karkonosze Mts

by magor65

Karkonosze - the highest range of Sudety Mts. - lies partly in Poland (about one third) and partly in the Czech Republic. The highest peak of Karkonosze is Sniezka - 1602 m. above sea level. It can be reached both from Polish and Czech side. It is not advisable to climb Sniezka in winter as it might be dangerous. On the Czech side a cable car can take you up to the top. If you stay in Poland there are two possibilities to reach the top (of course, when the weather is good). You can walk up a hiking trail leading from Karpacz to Sniezka. However, it's strenous and monotonous, besides you are walking with crowds of people and you feel as if you were in town rather than in the mountains. So I suggest taking a chair lift to Mala Kopa and walk rest to the top (which will still take about an hour). There are so many beautiful trails in Karkonosze that you shouldn't regret making this trip a...

Kamieniec Zabkowicki

by magor65

The castle of Kamieniec Zabkowicki was in its times the biggest one in central Europe. It was built in 1838-1872 for the Netherlandic Princess Marianne Wilhelmine of Orange and her husband Fredric Albrecht Hohenzollern. The costs were equal to 5 tonnes of gold.During World War II masterpieces of art from all over Silesia were brought here. Then they were partly transported to the west but most of them were either destroyed or stolen by the Russians in 1945. Soviet soldiers in summer 1945 set the castle on fire and shot at everybody who wanted to put it out. After the war anything still left was stolen away, including the tiles and moulding. Today the castle is owned by a private investor. Partly reconstructed, it houses a hotel for 60 guests. This enormous building is surrounded by a park which seems completely abandoned. Definitely the whole complex requires a real fortune if it is to...

Kliczkow castle

by magor65

When you look at this castle it is hard to believe that just a few years ago it was a ruin. In 1999 the building was bought by a conservation company Integra, which turned it into a luxury hotel (with prices of about 100 Euro for one night/person). The history of the castle goes back to the end of 13th century when it was built as a stronghold. Reconstructed many times it shows the influences of Gothic, Renaissance and Mannerism styles.The castle is beautifully situated among the forests of Lower Silesia on the Kwisa river, which offers the possibilities of rafting and canoeing. One of the attractions of the castle hotel is the indoor swimming pool built in the former mange with one wall made of glass and overlooking a beautiful park. There used to be a horse cemetary near the castle. Today there are just a few tombs devoted to beloved steeds. You can still read the inscription with the...

Bolkow castle

by magor65

This is one of the oldest castles in Lower Silesia (built in 13th century). As most of the castles, Bolkow also has its own ghost. It is the ghost of Michas, prince Boleslaw's son, killed by mistake by a jester, whose intention was to kill the father.A few years ago one of Polish historians published a book in wchich he claimed that the Amber Chamber - the most famous lost world treasure - had been hidden in Bolkow. Unfortunately, a team of archeologisits disproved this theory. But the place is still worth visiting. Don't be surprised when you come across a group of ladies-in-waiting dancing on the courtyard to the sounds of medieval music or some knights practising sword fighting. The Knight Brotherhood founded in 1995 wants to revive the old customs. Several times a year knight tournaments are organised here.
