Once you have have seen Tarnów and Nowy Sącz, once you have explored Zakopane and spent a few days in Kraków, it is worth continuing your sightsee- ing further afield. Around each of these areas you will find numer- ous places that are worth visiting and tourist trails hidden among picturesque landscapes. Owing to a rich topographical variety of Małopolska and a tur- bulent history, this region, like no other in Poland, can boast a huge number of historic monuments and marvellous landscapes. If you want to hike in the mountains, you should visit places around Za- kopane or Nowy Sącz. If historic places are what you are looking for, head for towns and villages surrounding Tarnów and Kraków. In this guide you will find short descriptions of suggested routes starting in each of the main tourist centres in Małopolska. These routes are best for one day car trips, but many of them can be walked or cycled. 1 Wawel Hill, photo by M. Zaręba Wieliczka Salt Mine, UMWM photo archive Pieskowa Skała, photo by M.

In presented study growth rate of the chub Squalius cephalus and nase Chondrostoma nasus from Raba, Dunajec, and Poprad River were investigated using a back-scaling method. A total number of 167 chubs and 186 nases were analysed. Age of these fishes varied from 2 to 12 years. Growth rate of fish analysed was high and similar to other results from upper Vistula River drainage. We consider that artificial fry gained from these rivers may contribute declining populations of these two species in other rivers of upper Vistula drainage. Key Words: growth rate, chub, nase, Raba, Dunajec, Poprad. Strzeszczenie. Celem badań było określenie tempa wzrostu klenia Squalius cephalus oraz świnki Chondrostoma nasus z Raby, Dunajca i Popradu metodą odczytów wstecznych. Przebadano łącznie 167 kleni i 186 świnek w wieku od 2 do 12 lat. Tempo wzrostu obu gatunków w badanych rzekach było wysokie i porównywalne z danymi uzyskanymi podczas badań na innych rzekach w rejonie Górnej Wisły. Można przypuszczać, że materiał zarybieniowy wyprodukowany na bazie klenia i świnki z Raby, Dunajca i Popradu z powodzeniem mógłby zostać użyty do wzmocnienia zagrożonych populacji tych ryb w rejonie Górnej Wisły.

  • Potamonyms of the Vistula River Basin As a Part of Cultural Heritage
    Potamonyms of the Vistula River Basin as a Part of Cultural Heritage Urszula BIJAK* There are many ways in which cultural heritage can be defined, depending on the branch of science that is dealing with this term. With no doubt, a language, including proper names, is a medium of the non-material cultural heritage. The aim of my article is to present a “hydronymic map” of the Vistula basin from the linguistic point of view. I will focus on: 1/the cultural heritage reflected by the river names, which are chronologically and genetically differentiated and represent several layers: archaic Pre- Slavic names, so-called “Old-European”, Polish, other Slavic (Czech, Slovak, Boyko, Lemko, Ukrainian, Belarusian) and non-Slavic (Baltic, German, Vlach, Latin); 2/ the image of the lingual reality constructed by the river names, the creation of names which is a result of action of a number of different motives, incentives, ways of thinking and experiencing the reality; 3/the changes of hydronyms, variability (so called polyonymy) characteristic for this onimic category coming from the lack of naming memory, collapse of naming tradition through the centuries. 1. Introduction There are many ways in which cultural heritage can be defined, depending on the branch of science that is dealing with this term. The conceptual and territorial range of the term can also differ (Lewandowska 2007). With no doubt, a language, including proper names, is a medium of the non-material cultural heritage. Hydronymy occupies a significant position within the realm of geographical names and from the beginning of the 20th century it played an important role as a research topic for linguists.

  • Late Roman Period and Early Migration Period in the Upper San River Basin
    ACTA ARCHAEOLOGICA CARPATHICA VOL. LIV (2019): 57–76 PL ISSN 0001-5229 DOI 10.4467/00015229AAC.19.004.11881 JAN BULAS Late Roman Period and Early Migration Period in the Upper San River basin Absrtract: The analysis of the cultural and settlement situation in the Upper San River basin in the Late Roman Period and the early phase of the Migration Period (timespan between phases C2 and D) is difficult due to the small database. In addition to materials from the partially researched settlement in Lesko and recently excavated (during the investment works on the bypass of Sanok) settlement in Sanok 59-60, the materials from these phases are primarily stray finds, such as metal fragments of clothing, such as buckles or coins, discovered outside the archaeological context. It is important to underline that most of the wheel-made pottery finds have a wide chronological frame and it is a rare possibility to narrow pottery dating. Despite the limited amount of data, they provide the basis for the new analysis of the archaeological material and settlement situation in this area dated roughly to the Late Roman Period and Early Migration Period. In this context, wide-scale research, which for the first time allowed observation of the extent and organization of settlements, proved to be particularly important. Keywords: settlements, coins, stray finds, th4 century, 5th century Research on the settlement in the Upper San River basin, in the Late Roman Period and the Early Migration Period, reaching beyond the presentation of the results of individual excavation, began with an attempt of holistic analysis and description of the cultural situation in the La Tène, Roman Period and Early Migration Period in the Polish part of the Carpathians (Madyda-Legutko 1996).

Prof. Dr. Architect Wojciech Karol Wójcikowski Cracow University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, Poland ABSTRACT The aim of the article is to present activities in Muszyna Zdrój, located in the region of southern Poland spa resorts. In Poland there are 45 spa resorts (mostly small towns and villages) half of them were developed in the southern part of Poland and many of them are interesting examples of the transformations of the urban public space in the spa resorts. Almost all those settlements are locate in the outstanding natural environment including landscapes, climate and above all in the water, confirm a number of studies and a long tradition of conducting treatment advances in medicinal uses of many diseases. After a period of stagnation caused by ownership transformations in health resorts associated with the privatization and the reprivatisation of property nationalized after the Second World War. As well as long-term negligence in the period of system change in Poland after 1989. The activities carried out during last 10 years in Muszyna Zdrój like in the other health resorts located in the south of Poland focused to improve the quality of public spaces in these towns. Muszyna Zdrój is one of the most effective in attracting financial resources from European funds for all designed activities example.

  • On the Occurrence of Thysanoptera in Poland
    340 THRIPS AND TOSPOVIRUSES: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 7TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THYSANOPTERA 341 On the occurrence of Thysanoptera in Poland Halina Kucharczyk1 and Irena Zawirska2 1Dept. of Zoology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, 19 Akademicka Str., 20-033 Lublin, Poland; 2 4/4 Sewerynów Str., 00-331 Warszawa, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The paper reviews our knowledge of Thysanoptera in Poland. A total of 216 species are recorded from Poland, but 34 of these have been recorded only once and at one locality, and 7 of these date from before World War II. During the last 10 years, 25 more thrips species have been found in Poland, and a lot of species have been noted at new localities in different regions. The best known fauna is that of xerothermic habitats that are typical of big river valleys of upland areas in central and eastern Poland. Introduction information about 86 species, 5 of which were Poland lies on the border between two large later considered as synonyms, while 6 come from physiographical regions, the Central-European the areas that at present lie outside Poland.

    Hydrology of the High Tatra Mountains and the influence of the windfall in November 2004 on hydrological regime of the upper Poprad river catchment 1L. Holko, 1Z. Kostka, 2J. Novák 1Institute of Hydrology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Liptovský Mikuláš, Slovakia, [email protected]; 2Slovak Hydrometerogological Institute, Košice, Slovakia Abstract Slovakia as a mountainous country is sometimes called the roof of central Europe, because most of precipitation runs off from the country. The highest part of the Carpathians (the largest mountain range in Europe) is situated in the Tatra Mountains (The Western, High and Belianske Tatra mountains) which form part of the European water divide. Most of Slovakia is drained to the Black Sea basin. Just two bigger Slovak rivers flow to the Baltic Sea. The bigger of them, the Poprad river originates in the High Tatra Mountains. The High Tatra Mountains were hit by an extraordinary windfall on 19 November 2004. This paper provides a brief information on the history of hydrological and meteorological measurements on the territory of the High Tatra Mountains and reports on the analyses of hydrological impacts of the windfall. Despite the extraordinary extent of deforestation, hydrological data did not indicate severe changes of runoff regime in the upper Poprad river catchment and its subcatchments. However, compared to other Slovak rivers, the streams of the upper Poprad river subcatchments have higher flashiness index, probably owing to higher percentage of agricultural lands. Introduction The High Tatra Mountains are the highest part of the Carpathian Mountains which are according to some sources (e.g. Wikipedia) the largest European mountain range.
