A five-stage pilgrimage across the Kii Peninsula on the Nakahechi route, linking forest paths, oji shrines, Kumano Hongu Taisha, Koguchi and the final descent to Nachi.
A three-day road trip down the spine of the Kraków–Częstochowa Upland. The route starts among the northern castle ruins, crosses the limestone landscape around Mirów, Bobolice and Góra Zborów, reaches the monumental ruins of Ogrodzieniec and finishes in the Prądnik Valley at Pieskowa Skała and Ojców. It is designed to make the 'Eagle Nests' idea legible as a landscape rather than as a checklist of isolated castles.
A three-day route through the industrial landscape of Upper Silesia. Day one reads Katowice through workers' housing and the post-industrial culture zone; day two goes underground in Zabrze; day three follows the older lead-silver mining and water-management system of Tarnowskie Góry. The point is not to collect industrial monuments but to see how mining shaped housing, engineering, urban form and regional identity.
A four-day road trip built around the unusual combination that makes Lubuskie interesting: revived wine culture, lakes and forests, massive twentieth-century fortifications and a landscape shaped by the German–Polish border. The route begins in Zielona Góra and Zabór, moves north through Łagów and the Międzyrzecz Fortified Region, then stretches west to the transboundary Park Mużakowski and the destroyed old town inside Kostrzyn Fortress.
Ronda to niewielkie, urocze, andaluzyjskie miasteczko położone nad przepaścią — białe domy stoją na krawędziach głębokiego wąwozu El Tajo, który rozdziela starą i nowszą część miasta. Łączy je monumentalny Puente Nuevo, most o wysokości 98 metrów i największa atrakcja Rondy. Zapraszam na super szybki spacer, taki w sam raz, aby w godzinkę zobaczyć co najciekawsze, a potem w spokoju wypić filiżankę kawy lub kieliszek wina.
In wartime Zurich, Cabaret Voltaire opened at Spiegelgasse 1 while Lenin lived farther along the same street. The proximity is documented; a personal encounter is not.
