Coming back with Gorzow Wielkopolski ;)

Hi there,

I have not been there for so much time! It was a three-month long period full of lazy days and relax.
The new academic year has just started and my blogging time as well. :)

Today I want to tell you about one of my holiday trips, which I took with my boyfriend (the most perseverant man I have ever met). One day in September we visited Gorzow Wielkopolski, the capital city of Lubusz Voivodeship. We started our trip early about five a.m. with an intention to sightsee also Krzyz Wielkopolski.
Well, I have to write how the things have gone from the start.

We arrived in Krzyz Wielkopolski, a small town on the border of Greater Poland and Lubusz Voivodeship, at seven a.m. The town seemed to be charming and because of its size it turned out to be friendly and also the people. We had planned earlier what we wanted to see so we knew our expectations. Krzyz Wielkopolski counts about seven thousand of inhabitants. The town is an important station on the railways because just right there cross the main railway lines of the country.
In Krzyz you can admire the building of a railway station, a few churches and a water tower. On the one of the railway station's platform is situated one old but renovated locomotive. Small green squares also decorate the town, giving a while of rest to tourists. I have to recommand you to try the local donuts so tasty and very cheap. :)




Gorzow Wielkopolski welcomed us with a sunny weather and pretty high temperature. We were lucky people that time. It is a medium-size city which, for me, has many to offer but is sometimes wrongly unappreciated as a tourist attraction. The boulevard at the Warta river is cared and clean with small restaurants, tea gardens, benches and a fountain. There are also at least four statues, one of which is a symbol of Gorzow's boulevard. It is called Janusz Gorzowski. He is a man who sits on the sunbed reading a newspaper. From the distance he looks like a real human but when we go closer we can see that it is made from some kind of plastic and wax. Gorzow can boast about a new concert hall which is made in a modern style. It looks like a one big glass cube. In the center in one of the department stotes there are a few statues of people related to the story of Gorzow as Albert de Luge (th founder of the city) or Oswald Schreiber (a veterinary). The Old Town consists of many small and twisting streets surrounded by parks. The monuments worth to sighsee are witches' well, the gothic cathedral and Osterwa's theatre. One caracteristic point of Gorzow Wielkopolski is an observation tower called the spider, which is not very high but looks quite original and can also be treated as a symbol. The amateurs of sport can also find there something special. Gorzow Wielkopolski has one of the most modern speedway stadium in which take place events on the national and international level. The local speedway team Stal Gorzow are successful in Polish Speedway Extraleague.
