LEVERKUSEN

Leverkusen is a city of more than 160,000 people in western Germany, located on the Rhine River in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Although its history as an urban center is not long, it is inextricably linked to the development of industry and the Bayer pharmaceutical plant. In 1861, German chemist Carl Leverkus established his factory in the area - then the village of Wiesdorf. Over time, more and more workers and their families began arriving there, until the center itself grew so significantly that it was granted city rights in 1920.

What can you visit and see while in Leverkusen? The attractions this city offers are directly or indirectly related to Bayer, as Leverkusen is an industrial city associated mainly with drug manufacturing and the Bayer 04 Leverkusen football club originally derived from employees of this local concern. However, the city has much more to offer, especially for lovers of contemporary art. While there, it's especially worth a visit to the Morsbroich Museum of Modern Art located in an 18th-century palace, as well as a stroll through the beautiful Japanese garden or the Reuschenberg Nature Park.

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".

Travel to Zywiec by Sindbad coach. What to do in Zywiec

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.
