Very picturesque cycle path along the Vistula river embankment

A superb cycle path which is, among other things, the EuroVelo 4 which crosses Poland. I realize that I can take it all the way to Krakow, my final destination, but the wind is blowing hard today and the path is elevated, so I am not at all sheltered from the wind. I decide to leave it further on to follow my initial itinerary.

Ruins of the destroyed gas chambers. Reading about them is one thing, seeing them in real life is another. It's worth a trip!

The castle in Oświęcim experienced its greatest glory during the reign of Duke Casimir I at the beginning of the 15th century. Its brick tower was described at that time even by Jan Długosz himself in “History of Poland…”. This place was also visited by many distinguished figures over the centuries. Among them was the future Queen of Poland, Bona Sforza d’Aragona, travelling to Krakow from distant Bari for her wedding with King Sigismund I.
