Zabrze is a city between Gliwice and Bytom located in Upper Silesia. It is inhabited by nearly 157,000 people. Its name signifies a settlement located behind debry, or hills covered with forest thicket. Although Zabrze as a city has existed since 1922, it has a much longer history. The first mention of its current district, then the settlement of Biskupice, dates back to 1243, and Zabrze is mentioned in documents from the early 14th century. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, Zabrze developed as an industrial center - coal mines and a steel mill were established.
It may seem that there is nothing interesting to see there, but the city is full of interesting attractions not found anywhere else in Poland. In Zabrze you can see many brilliantly revitalized remnants of its industrial and mining past, such as the Królowa Luiza Adit, once the pride of mining engineers, today one of the biggest attractions of the Silesian province offering interesting attractions both underground and on the surface. The Guido Mine is also a must-see, allowing visitors to descend more than 300 meters below the surface and traverse nearly 5 kilometers of underground trails there, familiarizing themselves with the hard work of miners. Another similar attraction is Maciej Shaft, a complex of buildings of the former Concordia Mine.
Zabrze is located by the A4 and A1 highways. National and provincial roads run through it. There is also a railroad station and the Zabrze PKS bus station, which is located on Goethe Street in the city center. Our buses depart from PKS Zabrze station but also from the bus stop located at Plac Warszawski.
.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.
