How to travel from BRZEG to BAYREUTH?

Brzeg is a small historic city of over 35,000 people in the Opole Province. It lies on the Oder River, half an hour from Wroclaw. It is called the city of the Silesian Piasts, as it was here that the Silesian Piasts - the dukes of Legnica and Brest - held office from the 14th to the 17th century.

First steps should be directed to the Museum of the Silesian Piasts located in the 13th-century Brzeg Castle, known as the Silesian Wawel. There you can see exhibitions devoted to the Silesian line of the Piasts, displays of armament, clothing or 15th-17th century Silesian art. Brzeg is home to one of the largest Gothic temples in the region - St. Nicholas Church, built in 1370-1420. At the end of World War II it completely burned down, but was rebuilt according to 14th-century designs. And some of the furnishings that remained of the original temple are in the National Museum in Wroclaw and the Museum of Silesian Piasts in Brzeg, among others.

While visiting Brzeg, it is worth directing your steps at least to one of several parks spread throughout the city. The largest of them, the Julius Peppel Freedom Park, is now an ideal place for lazy as well as active recreation in the fresh air.
