Tips from the Community
A quick and extremely scenic trip north of Brzeszcze. The route runs along historic fish ponds, right by the right bank of the Vistula River. You can expect a mix of forest paths, gravel causeways, and open spaces with views of the ponds (including Rudak and Granicznik). The route is flat, not technically demanding, but extremely satisfying in terms of landscapes. An ideal suggestion for clearing your head and training in the wild nature of the "Frog Country".

A special and indefinable place, not for its history, but which is nevertheless worth visiting.

Birkenau was the largest of the more than 40 camps and sub-camps that made up the Auschwitz concentration camp complex. It was built by Nazi Germany during World War II in occupied Poland and served as the primary site for the mass extermination of Jews.

The train car is located at the so-called new Jewish ramp, built for the extermination of Hungarian Jews. Selections took place here, which meant immediate death for the majority of the deportees. The extermination campaign began in May 1944. In 56 days, over 400,000 people died. https://www.yadvashem.org/de/holocaust/about/fate-of-jews/hungary.html

Auschwitz II, the actual extermination camp. The "platform" visible behind the entrance is the so-called new Jewish ramp, built for the extermination of Hungarian Jews. Selections took place here, which meant immediate death for the majority of the deportees. The extermination campaign began in May 1944. In 56 days, over 400,000 people died. https://www.yadvashem.org/de/holocaust/about/fate-of-jews/hungary.html
