Karlsruhe is a city in Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany. It lies in the Upper Rhine Plain, on the Rhine, Alb and Pfinz rivers. It was founded in 1715 by the Margrave of Baden, Karl Wilhelm von Baden-Durlach. What undoubtedly distinguishes the city is its layout in the classic star-shaped layout. At the center is the palace, from which 32 avenues descend radially.
Already in the 19th century Karlsruhe was an important European scientific center. Research on electromagnetic waves was conducted there by Heinrich Hertz, and Karl Drais constructed the first bicycle in 1817. The city is home to Germany's oldest technical university.
One of the most important sights in the city is the Renaissance palace located in the center. Its interiors now house the Baden State Museum with collections on the region and Karlsruhe itself. This castle is surrounded by an extensive park with a botanical garden and other thematic gardens, where you can have a nice rest amidst the greenery. Another museum worth visiting is the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, with its valuable collection of paintings by such famous artists as Rembrandt, Dürer and Cézanne, among others.
The city is well connected - important highways such as the A5, A8 and A65 pass close by, and the French border is only about twenty kilometers away. Karlsruhe's location on the Rhine makes the city an important inland port, the fourth largest in Germany.
The city is also a major rail hub with a freight station where numerous lines converge, including those from Heidelberg to Basel and Mannheim to Rastatt. The Karlsruhe bus station is located near the city's main train station, Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof at Schwarzwaldstrsse. Sinbad offers numerous buses to Karlsruhe - an affordable and environmentally friendly option for getting to this German city.
Andrychów is a town of about 20,000 people in Małopolska province on the Wieprzówka River, lying between Wadowice and Kęty. It was founded at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, while it received city rights in 1767. For several centuries now, Andrychów has been famous for its cotton and textile industry, later also for its engineering industry. There is now a subzone of the special economic zone there, managed by the Cracow Technology Park.
Because of its location at the foot of the Beskid Maly mountains and a short distance from Cracow, Bielsko-Biala, Wadowice or Oswiecim, it is a very attractive tourist destination. The town itself is very atmospheric and also has many interesting attractions to offer. It is worth starting your sightseeing with the centrally located market square with the nearby city park and seeing the classicist Bobrowski Palace. A rich treasure trove of knowledge about Andrychów and its surroundings is the Historical and Ethnographic Museum, whose collections include old objects of daily use of the inhabitants, farm machinery or a rich collection related to Andrychów's Jews.
