OLAWA

Olawawa is a city in Lower Silesia province, in the Wroclaw agglomeration. The town, located on the Oława (known as the Oławka) and Odra rivers, and currently inhabited by about 33,000 people, traces its history back to the 12th century and the Middle Ages.

The most important attraction in the city is the Piast Castle in Olawa, also known as Luisa's Palace. It was erected on the site of Prince Louis I's former Gothic hunting lodge from the late 14th century and has been rebuilt many times over the years. Olawa's town hall dates from the first half of the 19th century. On its Baroque tower, a remnant from the previous town hall, is a 17th-century figural-astronomical clock with moving figures. Inside is the worthwhile Museum Chamber of Olawa Land, a small regional museum that collects antiquities, coins and postcards from Olawa and the surrounding area, as well as a collection of militaria or exhibitions of sculptures and ceramics by local artists. Several beautiful Baroque townhouses can also be seen in the area.

It is worth taking a walk in the city park located in the southern part of Olawa along the Olawka River. Also nearby is an old Jewish cemetery with dozens of preserved matzevot. Also awaiting visitors to the city is the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Consolation, the oldest church in Olawa with the remains of a Gothic chancel from around 1300 and several valuable monuments of sacred art.

BERN

Berno is located in the central part of Switzerland. It is inhabited by 130,000 people. It is often said that the city is the Swiss capital, which is not quite true. Bern only has the status of a federal city, and Switzerland is a confederation of cantons and has no established capital. However, the authorities administering the country reside in Bern.

The city's symbol and one of its most important monuments is the late Gothic cathedral - the largest church in Bern, as well as in all of Switzerland. Take a stroll through the old town full of historic buildings, visit the Paul Klee center with its exceptionally rich collection of his works, or see the former home of the world's most famous physicist. Bern is the city of Einstein. The Nobel laureate lived and worked here from 1902 to 1914. The building at Kramgasse 49, in the Bernese old town, houses his apartment, where you can now see numerous photos and personal memorabilia of Albert Einstein.
