Looking at a 2 week trip, leaving the UK in approx 2 weeks time. I want to Include a visit to Auschwitz, and spend a few days in Slovakia. I will be passing through all the countries above, so if theres any friendly faces beer or good advice on places to visit, it would be very welcome & appreciated.
Thanks in advance :scooter::scooter: |
Hi
Have done most of that area on a number of occassions so - Slovakia - Banska Bistrica , Bardejov , Trenchin , Spiska Hrad ( ruined castle ) are all worth a visit . Poland - Wrowclaw , Zwiec ( as in the beer ) , Dukla Pass ( runs from near Bardejov and into Poland ) Zakopane , , Krakow and if you can make it that far Lublin ( also has a concentration camp on the city limits , reachable on bus from town centre - made my blood run cold ) . Along North of Slovakia it is pretty , you cant ride around the tatras as you can the alps , you just cross them at various points . All the towns i have mentioned are pretty much on or near the border without having to go too far . Zwiec is a stop over , it has a very sunny square with an ace bar in the middle and lots of stunning young ladies :thumbup1: If you go to Auschwitz , you need to be there by 0800 , so you can do both camps as after 1000 you have to join a group rather then wander about on your own . Personally i found the Lublin camp had far more impact - it was virtually deserted except for a school group and it bordered peoples gardens !! The trenches at the rear where they shot 18000 + in one go are still there................... plus the old town is dinky and lovely when its sunny . Mind your speed in Slovakia - radar is everywhere and well hidden :ban: Any more info just PM me , will dig out my maps |
