How to travel from FULDA to ZYWIEC?

FULDA

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.

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".

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.
