Poland...of more interest than most

For some reason, Poland seems to have the most appeal of any of the other countries I've talked about, perhaps because it seems to hold more interest and I don't know very much about it.  While somewhat obvious, Warsaw is definitely one location in Poland I would like to see.  In particular, historical sites related to World War II are very popular, such as the remains of the Warsaw Ghetto.

As in many other places, Poland has a lot of natural beauty, which is something I am most interested in and hope to see when I travel to these places some day.  Of course seeing cities and architecture are really awesome as well, but nothing can compare to witnessing creation as it is.  With many different attractions across the country, one option is Święty Krzyż, or Holy Cross mountain.  This mountain has a somewhat dark history, believed to have been used to practice witchcraft by witches, dating back to the 9th century.  This area is now a monastery dating back around 1000 years.

Besides these, there are many different tourist destinations both related to nature or history, or whatever you may strike your interest!  So...Ja nie mowie po Polsku, (I'd really like to learn though), Do zobaczenia!  :)


Ciao,

Lauren
