Apeldoorn is a picturesque city located in central Holland, in the province of Gelderland. It is one of the larger urban centers in the region and is famous for its beautiful parks, rich history and tourist attractions.
Apeldoorn was originally a small settlement that began to develop in the 17th century, when the Dukes of Orange decided to build their residence here - Het Loo Palace. Since then, the town has grown in importance, attracting aristocracy and influential residents.
In the 19th century, Apeldoorn became an important industrial center, especially in the paper and textile sectors. The dynamic development of infrastructure and industry led the city to attract new residents and investors.
The Het Loo Palace - a former royal residence surrounded by beautiful Baroque-style gardens. Today it serves as a museum and is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the Netherlands.
The De Hoge Veluwe National Park, located near the city. It is one of the largest protected areas in the Netherlands, where you can enjoy forests, heathlands and rare species of animals, as well as visit the famous Kröller-Müller Museum, which has a rich collection of Vincent van Gogh's works.

Apeldoorn is an important economic and administrative center of the region. The city is home to many companies in the IT, finance and insurance sectors, as well as government offices. Despite its dynamic growth, the city has retained its peaceful, green character and is considered one of the best places to live in the Netherlands.
With a well-developed road and rail network, Apeldoorn is well connected to other Dutch cities such as Amsterdam, Utrecht and Arnhem.
Zabrze is a city between Gliwice and Bytom located in Upper Silesia. It is inhabited by nearly 157,000 people. Its name signifies a settlement located behind debry, or hills covered with forest thicket. Although Zabrze as a city has existed since 1922, it has a much longer history. The first mention of its current district, then the settlement of Biskupice, dates back to 1243, and Zabrze is mentioned in documents from the early 14th century. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, Zabrze developed as an industrial center - coal mines and a steel mill were established.
It may seem that there is nothing interesting to see there, but the city is full of interesting attractions not found anywhere else in Poland. In Zabrze you can see many brilliantly revitalized remnants of its industrial and mining past, such as the Królowa Luiza Adit, once the pride of mining engineers, today one of the biggest attractions of the Silesian province offering interesting attractions both underground and on the surface. The Guido Mine is also a must-see, allowing visitors to descend more than 300 meters below the surface and traverse nearly 5 kilometers of underground trails there, familiarizing themselves with the hard work of miners. Another similar attraction is Maciej Shaft, a complex of buildings of the former Concordia Mine.
Zabrze is located by the A4 and A1 highways. National and provincial roads run through it. There is also a railroad station and the Zabrze PKS bus station, which is located on Goethe Street in the city center. Our buses depart from PKS Zabrze station but also from the bus stop located at Plac Warszawski.
