OLAWA bus to MONCHENGLADBACH

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.

Access to Olawa

The city lies 27 kilometers southeast of Wroclaw. Oława is crossed by national road 94 and provincial roads: 396 and 455. The city has a railroad station and an Oława PKS station. The railroad connection between Wroclaw and Olawa was established as early as 1842 and is the oldest in Poland. Trains to Olawa stop at the railroad station on Szopena Street, adjacent to the city park. The Oława PKS bus station is located at 3 Maja Street and serves both intercity and international connections.

MONCHENGLADBACH

The bus station where our coaches stop is located on Hindenburgstrasse, not far from the main train station. It is actually the center of the city, so you will reach the nearest and one of the most important points of interest in the city, St. Vitus Basilica, on foot in twenty minutes.

On the other hand, heading north you will reach two parks, full of sculptures and installations, designed by some of Europe's greatest artists.

Routing to and from Moenchengladbach - why visit the city and what to see before a Borussia match?

If you're a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, but don't want to devote your trip solely to the match, consider visiting Skulpturpark Abteiberg or Bunter Garten, two gardens. In the latter you will also hit the botanical garden and arboretum.

The Abteiberg Museum, adjacent to the aforementioned St. Vitus Basilica, is also worthy of your attention. There, the works of Andy Warhol and Gerghard Richter await you.

The museum is a great place to visit.

Monchengladbach can furthermore be a base for exploring nearby larger cities such as Cologne and Düsseldorf. Accommodation in Monchengladbach should be slightly lower than in the state capital. In addition, Monchengladbach, through its proximity to the Belgian and Dutch borders, can be a stop on a trip specifically to the Benelux countries. Although, in our opinion, the number of attractions in the city makes Monchengladbach as a city able to fill a tourist's calendar for virtually a whole week.

Mönchengladbach is located a short distance from the Dutch border and can be an excellent base for exploring both the neighboring country and other cities within its borders, such as Düsseldorf and Cologne. By itself, it also has much to offer.
