Temat: Your Favorite places in Poland

When I was a kid, there were two places that I absolutely loved visiting. One, located South West Poland – Kotlina Klodzka with Stolowe Mountains, Kudowa Zdroj, Czermna, Darnkow and pretty much the entire area. It was amazing; winter as well as summer time. Very wild with so many untouched places, deep forests and mountain springs. Kudowa was great, it had a very special aura about it, old German style buildings, the smell of all the different mineral waters, those special little bottles with thin necks to drink out of. In Czermna you got the Kaplica Czaszek and the Wambierzyce basilica along with plenty of museums and interesting places to visit.. and all so very tranquil.

Another location was Jaroslawiec by the Baltic shore. Back 17 – 20 years ago it was a very out of the way type of a place with plenty of summer camps for kids. There was the main street that at the time (if I remember correctly) was nothing more than a sand/dirt road on both sides of which you had your typical tourist geared huts that sold everything from Mamba gum to little toy soldiers (anybody remembers those tiny toy soldiers?). The smell of fried flounder and fries mixed with the fresh scent of pines and sea. Nice thick pine forests full of mushrooms and blueberries with giant ants crawling all around and huge anthills. Nice place… from what I understand it has been heavily developed in the recent years and it’s changed quite a bit.

Rafal, we visited this area in June this year. It's indeed a very beautiful area.
I think many Poles don't know their own country ... but I'm always telling them ... Your country has many many beautiful places and you can find everything you want to spend your holiday: sea, lakes, mountains, forrest, .... We visited near whole Poland: from the east to the west and from the north to the south: forrests around Bialystok, Suwalki region, Mazurian, Gdanks/Sopot/Gdynia, the whole coast, Malbork/Frombork, Szczecin, Wolin, Poznan, Torun, Wroclaw, Zakopane, Lublin, Krakow, Warsaw, Kazimierz, Sandomierz, .... and many many other places.

I always make promotion for Poland to my Belgian colleagues and friends.
Poland is not well known abroad : They remember Poland as a dark and grey country. But this isn't true.

The Kaszuby region, with the special Polish dialect :) ... of course we visited this region. Very beautiful region !
Do they not call it the little Switserland ? :)

A picture we took of that region:

I love the mountains, but not the Tatry mountains, as the altitude disagrees with me. I've walked the Beskidy up and down several times; like Rafal, I have been a frequent visitor to the Stołowe, and I love the Pieniny (you can do white water rafting there, as well as the regular "flisak" rafting kind of thing). I never go there in the summer though, as if you want to get to Sokolica or Trzy Korony, you have to stand in a line. Not fun.
If anyone would like to go for a hiking trip, get tired, dirty, and have a beer on top of a mountain, just let me know ;)

Apart from that, my favorite place used to be Nogawica, near Bydgoszcz (more or less), where there was nothing. On the other side of the river the was a PTTK kayaking club where you could rent kayaks, and we pitched our tents right next to the river. The owner of the land had a flock of sheep and would always kill one for us in advance, so we had great meat, we would also fish, or walk several miles to the store ;) One day, on my way back from the store, on a tattered bike, I met Włodzimierz Szaranowicz, on a bike as tattered as mine :D but you wouldn't generally meet people there. It was 15 years ago though, so things might have changed...

I'm a bit of a beach bum in my free time...

and I love Białogóra, an under-populated gem on the northern coast between Władysławowo and Jastrzębia Góra..

The beach itself is grade A; you will not find better sand quality or dimensions anywhere... perhaps Bali, I don't know. The only drawback are the sub-zero temperatures of the open coast Baltic!Steve Jones edytował(a) ten post dnia 10.09.08 o godzinie 23:11

I think that Rzeszow is the best place in Poland, but i also like Zawoz in Bieszczady, 'cos is not so popular as Solina or Polanczyk and the landsacpes are better.

Is that because objectively Rzeszow is amazing or because you're from Rzeszow?;)

I went to Płock for a three-day weekend in May 2005 and found the place really charming.
A lot of renovation was being done at that time, but one could already see some nice architecture. Beautiful views on the Wisła river, a zoo and forests all around.

No idea what's wrong with Kutno. Is it infamous for something?
I really don't know. And I have never been to Kutno.

I think there was a family murded this weekend (3 kids killed by their father who committed suicide afterwards)

That's what comes to my mind when I think Kutno ATM.

The most depressing place ever is Mielec. For some reason, I went to two conferences held there a few years ago.

Bydgoszcz is really bad. Except for the Indian restaurant.

I remember driving through Bełchatów on my way to Wrocław. It looked dauntingly post-industrial, contaminated, accursed. At least to my sleepy eyes at 5 a.m.
