Aachen is a spa town in western Germany in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands.

AUGUSTOW

Augustow is a city in northeastern Poland, in Podlaskie Voivodship, with a population of about 30,000. Its location in Podlasie, on the Netta River surrounded by lakes and the vast Augustów Primeval Forest, makes it a popular vacation destination. Augustów was voted "The nicest city in Poland" in 2014, and there's something about it - its people are extremely hospitable, and the unspoiled nature encourages you to spend at least some time there.

When visiting Augustów, it's worth seeing, first of all, its rather unusual, wooded market square. In the heart of Augustow's old town, a park initially called Saxon Garden and later Jagiellonian Garden was established in 1847. It houses the Column of Sigismund Augustus, founded on the 450th anniversary of the granting of city rights.

The market is surrounded by 19th and 20th century townhouses, the oldest surviving of which, dating from 1801, hosted Napoleon Bonaparte. In addition, noteworthy in the city are the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, or the Augustow Land Museum. However, one of the most popular attractions in the area is cruising along the Augustow Canal and observing the operation of the locks present on it, as well as sailing on the nearby lakes and hiking along the trails of the Augustow Forest.
