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.

Discovering Pszow, a tiny town in the heart of the Silesian Voivodeship, you may feel that you are stepping on the footsteps of time. Situated quietly in the Oder River valley, this place comes alive with history and culture, tempting tourists with the wealth of its attractions.
Undoubtedly the city's crown monument is the Minor Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its Gothic architecture, given a Baroque facelift over time, hides real treasures: the main altar from 1710, the baptismal font from three centuries ago, and the organ made thirty years after the altarpiece.
The city's most famous landmark is the Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Mentioning monuments, it is impossible to omit St. Nicholas Church. It's like reading ancient chronicles, where the 13th-century roots of this temple lead through the eras, from its Romanesque beginning to its Gothic transformations. A Romanesque portal from the 13th century, a Gothic altarpiece from the 1500s and a Baroque font from the 1700s are like pages of a magic book.
On the other hand, in Tworkow, near Pszow, you'll come across the ruins of a 14th century castle. Once erected at the behest of the Dukes of Racibórz, it now presents itself as a fascinating ruin after being destroyed by the war.

Slightly farther away, in Łączna, the Ignacy Mine is a piece of the past from the 19th century. One of the most modern in Upper Silesia at one time, today it is open to the public, shedding light on the hard times of mining.
>In Pszow, the Szarlota Heap, an artificial mountain built from post-mining waste, is a must-see. From the highest point on this heap, there is an impressive panorama of the city and its surroundings.
