BREGENZ

Bregenz, or Bregenz in German, is a city in Austria located on Lake Constance and the capital of the state of Vorarlberg. It has a small population of less than 29,000. However, Bregenz's charming location between the lake and the mountains makes it a popular destination for many tourists.

Attractions of Bregenz

Most of the city's attractions center around Lake Constance. It features an extensive promenade with numerous restaurants and cafes. Worth a visit here is the stage located on the water, which in the summer months is the center of the Bregenzer Festspiele, the Bregenzer Festival of the Arts, as well as a stroll through the old part of town, the Oberstadt, which is full of narrow streets. A major attraction in Bregenz is the Pfänderbahn cable car, which connects the city to the nearby Pfänder summit, from where impressive views of the near and far countryside can be enjoyed.

Bregenz - getting there

The city is well connected. Bregenz can be reached by train. The main train and bus stations are located in the city center, right next to the amphitheater and the stage on the water. The nearest airports are in Swiss Thal (St. Gallen-Altenrhein) and in German Friedrichshafen, but they do not operate direct flights from Poland. It's better to consider coming by coach or going here by your own means of transportation.

If you plan to organize a vacation on Lake Constance, also visit Bregenz - during the summer months you will have the opportunity to participate in the Bregenzer Festspiele festival. Details of bus connections to Bregenz from your town can be found in the search engine on the homepage.

ZYWIEC

Zywiec is not just a local brewery. It's a city located in the middle of the mountains and full of attractions. That's why check out what to do in Zywiec right now before you check out the beer museum.

What to do once you reach Zywiec by bus

If you are considering an extended stay in or around Zywiec, especially during the holiday season, a trip to Lake Zywiec is a must. It is a reservoir created in 1966. In order for it to be created, several villages had to be depopulated and flooded, including Zarzecza, Tresna, and Stary Zywiec.

In the part of Tresna that was not flooded, a dam and hydroelectric power plant were erected.

Zywiec has a municipal beach, although it still lacks infrastructure. Therefore, plan an outing to the water with your own provisions.

A regatta is organized on the waters of Lake Zywiec in August, a memorial to Adam Banaszek, commander of the Bielsko Yacht Club, who died in 1992 while sailing the "Dar Bielsko".

Travel to Zywiec by Sindbad coach. What to do in Zywiec

Zywiec is located in the middle of the Beskid Mountains. The Beskid Zywiec is of course surrounded by it, but right next to it you will also find the Beskid Slaski or Beskid Maly. If you go further south, you can hit the Slovak Beskid, while west of Zywiec is the Silesian-Moravian Beskid. If you're a novice hiker, it's worth climbing Skrzyczne, the highest peak in the Silesian Beskid, which rises more than 1,200 meters above sea level. In Beskid Maly you must climb, if that's the right term, Czupel (just 933 meters above sea level). In Beskid Zywiecki, Babia Gora awaits you with 1,725 meters above sea level, making it the highest peak in the area.

There are several roads leading to the summit. One of them is the Akademiks' Pass. When deciding on this particular route, you need to be aware that it's a one-way road, and before the summit itself you will face a short climb over rocks using chains attached to the rocks. Therefore, if you manifest a fear of heights, you should consider a slightly longer, but easier route.

The city is located in the Zywiec Basin in southern Poland, next to Lake Zywiec. The seat of the Zywiec district government is located here.
