Wolin is a very old town north of Szczecin.
You go there if you are elementary school student in Szczecin for an educational trip at least once in your life.
Wolin is located on the road to Miedzyzdroje so it is also great place to see if you are going to the beach and the weather changes before you get there.
If you lucky you may take a part in Viking Festival organised every summer. I was never lucky enough and always missed festival by only few days.
Here are few pictures from Wolin Museum. Address: WolinDirections: an hour north of Szczecin

Place you must visit while in Szczecin is Pomeranian Castle.
The castle was rebuild after WWII so don't count on seeing too much oryginal stuff but the atmosphere on the courtyard is nice and the view from the tower is really great.
There is a so, so Zamkowa Restaurant and few other places to grab a bite or something to drink.
There is also lots of concerts and other happenings in or outside of the castle.
It is also very romantic place to be after the sunset before they close all the gates.
It was definitely one of my favorite place to go when I was cutting my classes in high school.

At Jasne Blonia you can take a walk among beautiful flowers. There are two interesting monuments - one of the great Pole the Pope John Paul II . Second monument shows three eagles and it's called " The Monument to Polish Deeds".

Szczecin has a path (a line painted on the sidewalk) to follow and to see its most important places.
It is very convinient but don't expect too much written in English.
Best way is to go with a polish friend or to buy a guide in English about Szczecin with discription of the path included.
Here are few pictures from around Szczecin taken in August of 2005

 Monte Cassino street, Szczecin by sihi
What is Monte Cassino?
Monte Cassino is a rocky hill about eighty miles (130 km) south of Rome, Italy, a mile to the west of the town of Cassino (the Roman Cassinum having been on the hill) and about 1700 ft (520 m) altitude. It is noted as the site where St. Benedict of Norcia established his first monastery, the source of the Benedictine Order, around 529 A.D.
Monte Cassino became a model for future developments.
The strategic position of Monte Cassino has made it the repeated scene of battles and sieges from antiquity.
In World War II, the Battle of Monte Cassino (also known as the Battle for Rome) was a costly series of battles fought by the Allies with the intention of breaking through the Gustav Line, seizing Rome and linking up with Allied forces contained within the Anzio pocket.
During three failed attempts to take the heavily-guarded monastery of Monte Cassino (January 17–25, February 15–February 18, March 15–March 25), the forces of the USA, the UK, India, Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand lost approximately 54,000 men.
The so-called Fourth Battle of Monte Cassino was fought by the 2nd Polish Corps under General Władysław Anders.
The second assault (May 17–May 19), carried out at immense cost by the Polish troops and the key outflanking movement in the mountains.
May 18 a reconnaissance group of Polish 12th Podolian Uhlans Regiment occupied the ruins of the monastery after it was evacuated by the Germans. The Polish flag was hoisted over the Monte Cassino. And Polish bugler played the Hejnaů mariacki, announcing the Polish victory.
The capture of Monte Cassino allowed the British and American divisions to begin the advance on Rome, which fell on June 4, 1944 Leave a Comment
