Fulda is located in the heart of Germany, in the state of Hesse on the river of the same name. It is a picturesque city with many baroque buildings, gardens and green spaces. Is it worth going here and what can you see?
.Fulda, despite its overlooking Baroque setting, is actually a city with more than 1000 years of history. A Benedictine monastery was founded here as early as 744, and thanks to the learned monk Count Moor, the city became a major scientific center of the Frankish Empire. Fulda's Baroque appearance is mainly due to Abbot Adalbert von Schleifras, who was responsible for the construction of the city palace and the cathedral. Both buildings are on the first list of objects to see in the city. In addition to them, St. Michael's Church - one of the oldest in Germany, as evidenced by its well-preserved crypt dating back to the 9th century - is worth a visit. In the city center, noteworthy is the half-timbered old town hall with its arcades, as well as many cobblestone townhouses and buildings. Fulda has several parks, most notable of which is the Baroque garden by the city palace with its pond, numerous fountains and sculptures.
.Fulda is an important road junction and is located on the A7 Ulm-Hanower and A66 Frankfurt-Fulda highways. About 100 kilometers from Fulda lies Frankfurt am Main. From there you can reach Fulda by direct train in about an hour and a half. The main train station in the city is located in the center, right next to the City Palace. The Fulda bus station is also located there and our long-distance coaches stop there. We will be a good choice if you are interested in buses to Germany. Fulda, on the other hand, is a city that will appeal to lovers of Baroque architecture, but also those looking for an atmospheric small city for a weekend city break.
Gorlice is a nearly 26,000-strong town in Malopolska province located on the northern border of the Beskid Niski in the valley of the Ropa and Sekowka rivers. It is a beautifully located town with an unusually rich history. Due to the pharmacist and entrepreneur associated with the city and the inventor of the kerosene lamp, Ignacy Lukasiewicz, it is called the city of light.
There are many interesting attractions and tourist trails in Gorlice. Particularly noteworthy are Gorlice's market square, town hall and the Ignacy Lukasiewicz PTTK Regional Museum with collections related to the history of the city. There you can also see a chapel with a statue of Sorrowful Jesus indicating the exact place where the first street kerosene lamp was lit for the first time in the world, in 1854. Also worth a visit is the Open Air Museum of Oil Industry "Magdalena" located on the site of a former oil mine. Gorlice is also home to numerous cemeteries, especially from World War I, as it was in this area that intense fighting took place in 1915, which on May 2 allowed the Russian front to break through and significantly changed the course of the war.
Gorlice can be reached by both train and bus from the largest cities of Malopolska and Podkarpacie, but also from nearby smaller towns. International bus services to many European cities, including Germany, France and Italy, also stop at the PKS station. On the other hand, a train between Kraków and Zagórz passes through the Gorlice Zagórzany station.
