  • Krakow HISTORY
    Krakow HISTORY The first documented reference to Krakow can be found in records from 965 of the Cordova merchant Abraham ben Jacob. He mentions a rich burg city situated at the crossing of trade routes and surrounded by woods. In the 10th century Mieszko I incorporated Krakow into the Polish state. During the times of Boleslaw the Brave, the bishopric of Krakow was established (1000) and the construction of Wawel Cathedral began. In 1038, Casimir I the Restorer made Wawel Castle its seat, thus making Krakow the capital of Poland. The high duke Boleslav V the Chaste following the example of Wrocław, introduced city rights modelled on the Magdeburg law allowing for tax benefits and new trade privileges for the citizens in 1257. In the 15th century, Krakow became the center of lively cultural, artistic, and scientific development. Photo: A fragment of colourful woodcut depicting Krakow. Source: https://www.muzeumkrakowa.pl The 17th and 18th centuries were a period of a gradual decline of the city's importance. Due to the first partition of Poland in 1772, the southern part of Little Poland was seized by the Austrian army. On March 24, 1794 Kościuszko's Insurrection began in Krakow. Temporarily included into the Warsaw Duchy, it was given the status of a "free city" after Napoleon's downfall. After the defeat of the November Insurrection (1831), Krakow preserved its autonomy as the only intact part of Poland. In 1846, it was absorbed into the Austrian Monarchy again. After independence was regained in 1918, Krakow became a significant administrative and cultural center.

St. Leonard’s Crypt is located under the Wawel Cathedral of St Stanislaus BM and St Wenceslaus M. It was built in the years 1090-1117 and was the western crypt of the pre-existing Romanesque Wawel Cathedral, so-called Hermanowska. Pope John Paul II said his first Mass on the altar of St. Leonard’s Crypt on November 2, 1946, one day after his priestly ordination. The interior of the crypt is divided by eight columns into three naves with vaulted ceiling and ended with one apse.

  • Visit My Country
    The beauty of my country - Poland Warszawa – the capital city of Poland by Igor Kowalik The Baltic Sea The Baltic Sea is one of the most attractive places in Poland. It is in the north of our country. It also has a border with: Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany and Denmark. For tourists going to the seaside, I recommend visiting the lighthouse, eating fresh or smoked fish and taking a walk along the seashore to look for beautiful amber and shells. The attractions worth visiting on the Baltic Sea Coast in Poland: • Cities: Gdańsk and Gdynia, • Sport Stars Alley in Władysławowo, • Słowiński National Park, • Wolin National Park (with the Bison Reserve), • Drawski National Park (with countless number of lakes), • Mechowskie Grottoes, • The jetty in Sopot, • Hel Peninsula, • The lighthouse in Świnoujście by Milena Palichleb Kraków by Patrycja Jurkitewicz Kraków Cracow is a very beautiful town. Cracow was the capital of Poland in the past. I love this town, because there are many places to visit, for example: - Wawel Castle, - Wawel Cathedral, - Cloth Hall, - Wawel Dragon Monument and many more. There are also good restaurants and cafes. There are nice people. I hope you will like Cracow, too. by Julia Dominik The Tatras The Tatras are the highest mountains in Poland. They are located in the south of the country. The highest peak is Rysy. You can walk in the mountains and enjoy the beautiful views. Here you can wander the mountain trails, reach Giewont peak, see waterfalls e.g Siklawa Waterfall, visit the city of Zakopane. You can also eat traditional cheese - oscypek.

Birds, of course. Birding. Even, truth be told, just occasionally, other birders. And, if you happened to be part of our congenial and universally interested group in Kraków, just about everything else—from the origins of the word (or words?) “slug” to the meaning of heraldic swans and the vexed identity of the Polish National Museum’s most famous mustelid. In between captivating conversation, we explored the landscapes, natural and cultural, of Poland’s most appealing city and the surrounding countryside.
