Upper Silesia is overpopulated crowded, polluted and what's more traffic jams are normal situation here. It is not unusual situation about 3 million people live here it's the biggest metropolis in Europe. In that situation Silesian don't like spending their free time at place especially in spring , summer . Where do they usually go away at the weekends? There are different destinations but we prefer mountains.
The answer is simple - The Beskidy Mountains which are located about 70 km from Katowice. One of the most beautiful cities in Beskidy is Bielsko Biała. This city has had a the market square which remains unchanged since 13 th century,

Across the market in the old town there is the Castle of Sulkowski family. The castle was erected in 14 th century. Today a castle is a museum where you can see historical memorabilia, military collectibles, and Polish and European paintings.

I have been there many times and we have had a great time. Every season is wonderful in the mountains.
The cable car looks good. It is often a good way to see things from above without being in a plane.
ReplyDeleteI love to spend time in the mountains. These look like very beautiful ones, and what fun to ride a cable car. I noticed the cute little blue rocking horse by the loom, just waiting for a little boy to climb on.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the snow.
ReplyDeleteMust be awful to get caught in a traffic jam.
The Castle looks great lit up in the night.
It is interesting to see your country. The old town and the pretty snowy mountain scenes are lovely.
