Hagen is a town located in the Ruhr region and as such is primarily associated with industry. But the truth is that it is more than just factories or mines. Hagen has a whole long list of museums and attractions to attract not only workers, but especially tourists.
In the city you'll hit, for example, the Folkwang museum known for its contemporary art with works by Van Gogh and Paul Cezanne, the planetarium, which hosts all sorts of themed events every now and then, or, of course, the museum of technology and industry.
There's also the museum of technology and industry.
Not to be overlooked, too, is the medieval Hohenlimburg Castle surrounded by a moat and fortified walls.
Hagen is also a park offering themed gardens, ponds, meadows and forests. In addition, there is a zoological section, which will be a great destination if you are visiting the city with children. Or if you are a fan of fauna yourself.

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.
