Dortmund is a city in the west of Germany in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is the largest city in the Ruhr region with a commercial and industrial history of more than 1,000 years. In addition to the metal, machinery, steel or coal mining industries, it also produces beer. Dortmund is widely known around the world mainly for the Borussia Dortmund soccer club and its Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion) stadium, the largest of its kind in Germany.
Dortmund, however, is not only Borussia's stadium and museum. It's also several monuments preserved or restored after the air raids at the end of World War II. The oldest church in the city is the Evangelical St. Rajnold's Church characterized by its impressive tower. While there, take a stroll through the Old Market Square with its historic fountains, where you can relax in one of the many cafes or restaurants, enjoying local specialties and beer from local breweries. When visiting Dortmund, it's also worth driving up the Florian viewing tower located in the Westphalia Park. From there you can observe a sweeping panorama of the city.
The city is well connected to the rest of Germany and neighboring countries. It has an airport less than 13 kilometers east of its center - in the town of Holzwickede. You can fly there from several of Poland's largest cities. A good, inexpensive option for getting to this city is also coach transport. Buses to Dortmund run from many Polish and European cities.
Moving around this city is easy and fast, as it has an extensive rail and bus network. In addition to buses and streetcars, you can also find a light metro currently running on eight lines.

.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.
.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".
.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.
