Check out "bitwa pod Grunwaldem" ( battle of Grunwald 1410, the battle was shown in a Polish film "krzyżacy" = the teutonic knights); each year there is a massive reconstruction of this medieval battle with many accompanying events; this year IT starts on 13th july, but the very battle reconstruction is on 16th july (saturday) :)
The effort you put into correct pronunciation of polish words does not go unnoticed. So refreshing to see tourist who actually care :) Loving your take on the tour de Poland!
Olsztyn Główny was supposed to be rebuilt years ago. Everyone here knows it looks bad and isn't the cleanest train station, most people say that it scares tourists away. There was a whole battle between local authorities and voivodships conservator of monuments, during which investors backed out. Fortunately city found a new investor and new station is in the works.
@@jkpakosz6698: Here you have a map of Warmia: pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warmia#/media/Plik:Warmia_historyczna.png Clearly Olsztyn is in Warmia region. Talking about physical geography has no sense here, because both Warmia and Masuria are not geographical regions but the historical ones. The geographical region you are talking about pobably is Masurian Lakeland - however that is not 1:1 equal neither to Warmia nor Masuria.
As a person who was born and raised in Olsztyn, I gotta say I'm unbelievably happy to see my hometown being put in such a good light. It's a great, calm place often off the typical tourist track, and I feel really honoured that eventually you tried it! Will probably stay on your channel for a bit and follow you along the Poland journey, cheers :)
Bravo, Luke! Kalisz is one of the oldest city in Poland!👏👌👍💃💃🎵🎶Btw, I was born in Olsztyn so watching your video was very emotional. Thank you so much, guys!
A lovely vlog, thank you Naomi and Luke, we have never been to Olsztyn, thank you for taking us on a virtual walk to Olsztyn. We love your vlogs, enjoy the summer in Poland, best wishes and greetings, Paweł and Gosia 🌞 🧡 🌤 🌹 ⛱ 🌅 🧡 😊 🌞 🌟 🍀 🇵🇱 🏝 🏖 🌅 🧡 💙
I'm Polish. I just came back from UK Gloucester. Olsztyn has a fantastic transport now, possibly from EU money . Have a look please at new buses and people have rights on ... zebras. Never was before. Only people don't smile, it's a pity. Have a good time in Poland.
There is one funny thing about your "liking green". It's nice to hear that you like green in Poland. When I spent almost one year in your country I was convinced that the Ireland has the most beatiful green I have ever seen :-/ You are an amazingly wonderful couple. God bless you!
Too Mad Explorers always teaching us lot of information! That lake is so lively, but it's gorgeous, so we can tell why! Congrats on all the fame in Poland! That's super cool to get recognized in public. Appreciate the honest options and advice! Great video!
Loving how you give lots of information about area you are in, learning so much from watching your channel. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos. Great work guys 🙂👍
Hi guys . I just had 1 week in Poland, wow I can understand your love of Poland, zakopane was recommended to me by my Polish mechanic. I did the morskie oko hike, major emotional experience for myself . Loved it.. Plan on another week early next year. Much respect to you both .
Olsztyn is my Hometown. I had known ALL that beautiful town from Childhood up to mastering at Academia in Kortowo. When You both walk over small bridge behind the Castle I had smiled- it was exactly walk in manner of my own. On my way to music professor lessons I carefully walked down by the middle of bridge. Then I been 7-8 YO. Not long ago stopped my dreams of hearing squeezes of old TRAMWAY on curve from Most Jana up to Grunwaldzka street. After more than thirty Years abroad, I still dream to come back to OLSZTYN for rest of my Life. I LOVE ALL POLAND.
Thank for the video guys! There's not enough of Olsztyn videos for my liking- I love going back there. I wander what is next? There are quite a few real gems in Olsztyn area - święta Lipka, Mikołajki, Hitler's Headquarters- Wilczy Szaniec, the great Masurian lakes, all to the east. But if you are heading to the west you should not miss Frombork, a bit remote and off bitten track historical place from where you can take a ferry across the Vistula estuary to Krynica Morska, a really nice town by the Gdańsk bay with beautiful beaches on your way to Gdańsk.
Guys, kudos for your efforts to beautifully pronounce Polish names. It's rare to see English-speaking tourist paying so much attention to Polish difficult names. Thank you! And thank you for your beautiful content
Great vlog as usual ! Good job, guys! Train station in Olsztyn is dirty, because government in a days is going to completely build new station. In 2 years you won’t recognize that it’s Olsztyn train station. Yes, Mazury are wonderful regions. Most of the lakes are connected. It’s a paradise for sailors, boats, kayak. As Zakopane is Winter Capital of Poland, then Mikolajki is Summer Capital in Mazury. Your subscriber was right about Lublin, Kazimierz Dolny, Sandomierz or “perfect city” (according architects) Zamosc. I recommend it, too. But you are Guys so close to Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot. I recommend to go to Hel (😆). It’s a last town on peninsula helska . You’ll find out on map. Good luck, Guys.
On a nice day def stop by Gizycko (or Mikolajki) and rent a sailboat with a skipper for a couple hours - it's not that expensive. Best is from Gizycko but you can do it from Mikolajki as well. You can also get a lake cruise from both towns. Experiencing the lakes from the water is the best. At night several taverns have shanty concerts - mostly during the weekends. Another not to be missed activity is a kayaking trip down the krutynia river with a tour guide.
Cieszę się że Olsztyn się Wam spodoba. Stacją Olsztyn Główny jest rzeczywiście makabryczna ale właśnie rozpoczyna się przebudową torów i budową nowego dworca. Za dwa lata i tu będzie pieknie. Pozdrawiam.
You guys just made my day. Olsztyn is my home city I live in USA for over 20 years and miss Olsztyn dearly. I’ll be visiting in September and can’t wait. Your pronunciation of Polish names is really good and I know it’s not easy. Thank you for the video.
W Olsztynie mieszkałem przez 5 lat swojego dzieciństwa. Muszę kiedyś w końcu odwiedzić i sprawdzić, co się zmieniło. Zawsze młodzi ludzie mieli tam co robić. Pamiętam że grałem w tenisa ziemnego i ... gokarty ❤️ STOMIL Olsztyn tor. Za pływaniem nie przepadałem, chociaż umiałem, basen był obowiązkowy w szkole podstawowej. Ooo... I jeszcze rowerkiem zawsze było się gdzie wybrać. Cały czas nowe trasy
Please, don't miss the Planetarium (English&German version) and Observatory in Olsztyn. It's an amazing and memorable experience!Lots of fun, Two Mad-ly in ❤ Explorers!😄
Hello 🤗, Since you are visiting the Masurian region, I suggest local cuisine, which in my opinion is the best in Poland and not every foreigner knows it. Ask some locals for the best restaurant with "Kartacz" (grapeshot in English or cepelinai) these are very delicious special type of Polish north-east dumplings with meat stuffing, This dish differs from typical Polish dumplings and is somewhat similar to the Lithuanian dish called "Cepelin", just try it, believe me, you won't regret it. Best Regards. 🤗😊
Great answers/ guesses hihi. Test at some points was difficult for me also. I’m sending my answers below. Wonderful vlog guys, as always, thank you, and all the best for you. 1. Capital -Warsaw 2. I thought also that Warsaw is most densely populated city but according to google this are smaller cities around Warsaw, and then I thought it makes sence becouse Warsaw has biggest population but it’s also very big 3. The most south is probably Zakopane 4. Geographically closest to Germany must be Zgorzelec, city divided in two halves (one is Polish, one is German), German name of the city is Gerlitz 5. Bajgiel is probably from Cracow 6. Kalisz is the oldest Polish city 7. The youngest city is difficult because theoretically at the beginning of every year several villages receives city rights, so we can check new cities from the 1’st January 2022, but at the same time they could function as villages for hundreds of years 8. Zapiekanka is difficult again, because it is rather a nationwide creation, a baguette with various ingredients popularized in the 70s, the first Polish fast food. The name zapiekanka is difficult to translate directly, but it means “something baked”, and of the name story, simple as that hehe, in english it could be called bakedthing. Zakopane hehe yes for you sounds similar but Zakopane means “something buried” I like to think that it is because the city for many months of the year is covered with snow, and it is hidden between the mountains so that could be also an explanation, but history of the city name is bit different.
I recommend two little towns in Poland: Szczawnica and Karpacz. I think You would love the nature there. Karpacz is located in Sudeten mountains. You can access the Śnieżka mountain from there and many more like Chojnik castle. The Szczawnica is also located in mountain region, but another one - Pieniny. Amazing thing to do is sailing on the Dunajec river.
It my favourite place we’re I spend lots time ! Your impression of the city is spot on ! Olsztyn is like city inside forest! Mikolajki is very popular town of Mazury and not far from Olsztyn is Bialowieza forest Unesco side the older Forest in Europe ! Enjoy the city!
Happy you liked Olsztyn. The train station was a nightmare for many many years but they finally managed to tear it down and start to build a new one after 20!!!! years of discussions about it. Also, in general, it seems half of the city is a under construction because they constantly improve something or start a new tram line... Another nightmare for car drivers and constantly jammed. But hey, the lakes are great, the river is great, you are so close to nature, so it definitly adds a lot to the quality of life.
Whew i got a lil shooked when Naomi said Kraków with well pronunciation and accent that seems like She was born,lived and come to another country from Poland. Just smoothly pronunciated like a racial Pole
Warsaw...and ..ahhhhhh .. hold on have to Google search lol...not a clue about the rest..yep I'm complete silly Lilly. How much you must be learning from all your travels, traveling really is the best education ❤️
Nie wiedziałem, że w Olsztynie jest takie ładne stare miasto 👍Byłem tam wiele razy w drodze na wakacje. Niestety dworzec mnie skutecznie zniechęcał do zwiedzania miasta. Mam nadzieję, że ten który budują odmieni pierwsze wrażenie. Mazury mają fantastyczne zachody słońca ❤ Jeśli tam dotrzecie to w Giżycku - Twierdza Boyen. W Mikołajkach rejs statkiem Żeglugi Mazurskiej na trasie Mikołajki- Ruciane Nida- Mikołajki. Polecam też Elbląg i rejs statkiem po Kanale Elbląskim, który jest uznawany za jeden z 7 cudów Polski. I spływ kajakowy rzeką Krutynią. Cudowne miejsce. Lasy kryją też duzo historii z czasów WW II jak Wolfschanze. Oby dopisała wam pogoda.
Hey, what took you guys so long? 😁 I was beginning to worry a bit 😉 Great to see you exploring new territory 😀 Luke, when you say Mazury it sounds like Missouri which is super cute 😀
@@TwoMadExplorers The city of Zgorzelec is the closest to Germany, it is actually a city divided by a border, on the Polish side of Zgorzelec on the German side of Gorlitz
The new railway station is now under construction so nobody gives a damn about the old one which will be demolished soon. BTW welcome in my favourite region, I was born 30 km from Olsztyn.
Go to Gliwice. Is Silesian town. Is realy nice and A lot place to see. Like silesian eifel tower. I now that sound crazy but is spectacular. And is palmiarnia and A lot plases to eat.
Olsztyn is so amazing 😊👍 you can buy flight to Olsztyn - Mazury AirPort and then stay in any hotel close to the Ukiel Lake - u wont regret , visit Olsztyn☀️
yeah, Olsztyn's main train station is ugly, it looks like almost whole Poland looked like 30 years ago. Currently this train station is under renovation, which was delayed because of some legal conflicts. But in 3 years time I hope it's gonna look better, like the rest of my beloved chillout town already looks like.
Another Polish-Teutonic war 1519-1521. Copernicus was delegated to negotiate with the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Albrecht Hohenzollern, on January 4, 1520. Frombork, where Copernicus stayed, was attacked and burned by the Teutonic Knights on January 21 (the city where the astronomer died and is buried). The task of defending Warmia castles was placed on the shoulders of Copernicus. In 1520 he was appointed administrator of the Olsztyn estate (residing at the castle in Olsztyn). Albrecht Hohenzollern, losing the war, was forced to conclude a four-year truce on April 5, 1521.
Have you heard of Półwysep Helski, did anyone recommend that you should go there? If not I would definitely encourage you to check out this amazing piece of Earth. It's the most beautiful and unique, personally my dream place to live. So since you are still in the north of Poland please do go there and see for yourself how beautiful and stunning it is 🙏💙 You're both gonna love it, I promise 😊 Just go to Hel, guys 😉😆 You can even take a No.666 bus to go there 🚍🚌🤘😈 Hel(l) yeah 😎
In masuria two touristy cities are Olecko and Mrągowo (known of country music festival); ive got some relatives in Reszel with a little teutonic castle, interesting i think could be also Święta Lipka sanctuary near Kętrzyn :) i dont know if youre going more east to Suwałki and Podlasie in general, there i would recommend check out bridges in Stańczyki, Wigrylake with a nice monastery in the middle and touristy cities like augustow, Tykocin or Białowieża National park with bisons :)
Today, I was thinking where you should go next, but as I can see, my fellow Poles already suggested Mazury :) Please, explore the lakes, I go there every summer ( my sister lives there, by the Gil lake, in Kotkowo ). Thank you !
@@TwoMadExplorers Copernicus in Poland is a bit like Homer in Greece - many towns claim to have been most important places in their lives and careers. :) Anyway, thanks for the glowing report and enjoy yourselves in our region.
awesome uploaded video my friend, thanks alot for sharing 💐 I wish you alot of success and happiness, stay safe, 🙏 health and connected keep up the outstanding job see you on the next uploaded video 🍒🥀🍒🥀🌟🥀🍒
As native Polish speaker I want to solve your cognitive dissonance I think I've noticed. Rower (pronounced rover in Polish) is bicycle in polish. Water rover works better for me in Polish and in English.
Gdynia 1926. Also our white city (Like Rio or other exlusively modernist cities). However the earliest mention of the name (as a village) is from XIII century. I just checked that if you want to count in the smallest towns then there is a handful of them as young as 5 years, but they also date back quite a long time.
@7:01 I also don't know how many Poles are making this journey from here, but I do know that quite a few Poles are making some sections of the Camino. For example I did, in May, by bike, through Spain. :)
Hi guys,actually they building completly new train station now and should be open in two years time. I AM agree that Olsztyn Railway station is terrible now and very dirty. But I usually fly from Olsztyn Airport to my home town Wrocław.Is very comfortable and cheap with Ryanair.What I know,Ryanair is flying also to Warsaw and Kraków and other European countrys.
I guess the youngest city in Poland is Gdynia - in the complex of 3 cities (Tri-city): Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia, which are also worth visiting together with Hel Peninsula and the town of Hel on the coast. If you happen to stay a bit longer you could also visit a small town of Łeba near the sea, and its famous dunes or Ustka. Thanks for great videos.
I think then city of Zgorzelec or Gubin is closer German border then Szczecin . In the region Warmia & Mazury ( I`m not count , but experts said ) are more then 3 000 lakes . But if you get real relax must to go to Bory Tucholskie ( Tuchola Forest ) . No very much tourists , natural enviroment and is pretty quait there . I`m really sorry for my english .
HI guys, it was nice to see Olsztyn on TH-cam. There are definitelty more beautiful places here to visit. But the Old Town, castle, and the Town Beach (Plaża Miejska) are amongst of theme. I've to admit that i was ashamed hearing of train station here. On the defence of our town, i can only say, that the train station is currently onder major reconstruction, or even rebuilding. So its just kind of udner constructin area now. thanks for visiting us.
You're both great ❤❤❤Go to Lublin (my home town, you won't regret it 👌) Kazimierz Dolny, Nałęczów. Thank you for Albania videos, I'm visiting Albania this year ❤
These blue 'dragonflies' that fly like butterflies are actually called damselflies :) The ones in the video are likely a Banded demoiselle subspecies of damselflies. They're some of my favorite insects since they look like little blue/blue-green fairies - kayaking on a river while they fly around is a magical experience! I personally highly recommend kayaking on river Krutynia.

Olsztyn Główny was supposed to be rebuilt years ago. Everyone here knows it looks bad and isn't the cleanest train station, most people say that it scares tourists away. There was a whole battle between local authorities and voivodships conservator of monuments, during which investors backed out. Fortunately city found a new investor and new station is in the works.
Hi guys, Olszyn is a city in Warmia. If you wanna go to Mazury it is worthy to visit Mrągowo, Giżycko, Kętrzyn, Iława, Mikołajki🙂
Iława?? No
Nope. Olsztyn is exactly gate to Masurian region.
@@jkpakosz6698 It's maybe gate to Masurian Region, but Olsztyn is na Warmia.
@@prk2543
By administrative meaning - yes, by physical geography - no...
@@jkpakosz6698:
Here you have a map of Warmia:

The newest large city in Poland is Gdynia. This city was built in the 1920s. It is an urban agglomeration of the Tricity - Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot.
What about Borne Sulinowo?
The firs thing which came to my mind was Gdynia and just after Nowa Huta... But Nowa Huta is technically a part of Krakow... then well 😉

(I think) the youngest city is Gdynia next to Gdańsk. Its was founded in 1922
Pozdrawiam z Olsztyna ✌️🙂
🙃✌️✌️😊👋👋
U are awesome guys. Greets from Warsaw! Tank u very much for what u are doing, be safe. Cheers!
Thank you for your amazing support ❤️🇵🇱
Happy you liked Olsztyn. The train station was a nightmare for many many years but they finally managed to tear it down and start to build a new one after 20!!!! years of discussions about it. Also, in general, it seems half of the city is a under construction because they constantly improve something or start a new tram line... Another nightmare for car drivers and constantly jammed. But hey, the lakes are great, the river is great, you are so close to nature, so it definitly adds a lot to the quality of life.
Whew i got a lil shooked when Naomi said Kraków with well pronunciation and accent that seems like She was born,lived and come to another country from Poland. Just smoothly pronunciated like a racial Pole
Yessss she’s on point! Haha
Totally tru. Perfect pronanciation. Naomi is adorable 🥰
Warsaw...and ..ahhhhhh .. hold on have to Google search lol...not a clue about the rest..yep I'm complete silly Lilly. How much you must be learning from all your travels, traveling really is the best education ❤️
😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Nie wiedziałem, że w Olsztynie jest takie ładne stare miasto 👍Byłem tam wiele razy w drodze na wakacje. Niestety dworzec mnie skutecznie zniechęcał do zwiedzania miasta. Mam nadzieję, że ten który budują odmieni pierwsze wrażenie. Mazury mają fantastyczne zachody słońca ❤ Jeśli tam dotrzecie to w Giżycku - Twierdza Boyen. W Mikołajkach rejs statkiem Żeglugi Mazurskiej na trasie Mikołajki- Ruciane Nida- Mikołajki. Polecam też Elbląg i rejs statkiem po Kanale Elbląskim, który jest uznawany za jeden z 7 cudów Polski. I spływ kajakowy rzeką Krutynią. Cudowne miejsce. Lasy kryją też duzo historii z czasów WW II jak Wolfschanze. Oby dopisała wam pogoda.
To spójrz Sobie na Poznań główny... Bardzo przypomina Olsztyn xD
Hey, what took you guys so long? 😁 I was beginning to worry a bit 😉 Great to see you exploring new territory 😀
Luke, when you say Mazury it sounds like Missouri which is super cute 😀
LOL 😂 thanks so much for supporting and watching us 🇵🇱❤️🍻
@@TwoMadExplorers The city of Zgorzelec is the closest to Germany, it is actually a city divided by a border, on the Polish side of Zgorzelec on the German side of Gorlitz
If it comes to cities that were actually built as cities (espaciallly biggest) the youngest is probably Gdynia which got city rights in 1926.
Oooooooh interesting 🧐
And of course feel welcome to visit Gdynia ❤️
The new railway station is now under construction so nobody gives a damn about the old one which will be demolished soon.
BTW welcome in my favourite region, I was born 30 km from Olsztyn.
Go to Gliwice. Is Silesian town. Is realy nice and A lot place to see. Like silesian eifel tower. I now that sound crazy but is spectacular. And is palmiarnia and A lot plases to eat.
Olsztyn is so amazing 😊👍 you can buy flight to Olsztyn - Mazury AirPort and then stay in any hotel close to the Ukiel Lake - u wont regret , visit Olsztyn☀️
Yes it is fantastic!
Awwww you guys actually listened to my advice
YES!!
The last time I have seen this beach on this lake it was in 1979 my God lots of changes! Big difference!
🙏😊
yeah, Olsztyn's main train station is ugly, it looks like almost whole Poland looked like 30 years ago. Currently this train station is under renovation, which was delayed because of some legal conflicts. But in 3 years time I hope it's gonna look better, like the rest of my beloved chillout town already looks like.
Another Polish-Teutonic war 1519-1521. Copernicus was delegated to negotiate with the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Albrecht Hohenzollern, on January 4, 1520. Frombork, where Copernicus stayed, was attacked and burned by the Teutonic Knights on January 21 (the city where the astronomer died and is buried). The task of defending Warmia castles was placed on the shoulders of Copernicus. In 1520 he was appointed administrator of the Olsztyn estate (residing at the castle in Olsztyn). Albrecht Hohenzollern, losing the war, was forced to conclude a four-year truce on April 5, 1521.
Wow 😯 amazing facts! Thank you Yake ❤️🇵🇱
Yeah, Copernicus was in charge of olsztyn castle defence against teutonic attacks and succeeded. :)
LOVE POLAND VIVA POLONIA KOCHAM MÓJ PIĘKNY KRAJ POLSKĘ NIECH ŻYJE POLSKA I WAKACJE ❤️❤️❤️
❤️🇵🇱❤️🇵🇱❤️
Yes. Love long live Poland 🇵🇱 ❤️ ♥️!!!
Have you heard of Półwysep Helski, did anyone recommend that you should go there? If not I would definitely encourage you to check out this amazing piece of Earth. It's the most beautiful and unique, personally my dream place to live. So since you are still in the north of Poland please do go there and see for yourself how beautiful and stunning it is 🙏💙 You're both gonna love it, I promise 😊 Just go to Hel, guys 😉😆 You can even take a No.666 bus to go there 🚍🚌🤘😈 Hel(l) yeah 😎
Yes go to Hel!
Yeah, go to Hel 😈👹🔥... 😉
Unfortunately Hel town is probably an ugliest place within Polish Pomerania...
In masuria two touristy cities are Olecko and Mrągowo (known of country music festival); ive got some relatives in Reszel with a little teutonic castle, interesting i think could be also Święta Lipka sanctuary near Kętrzyn :) i dont know if youre going more east to Suwałki and Podlasie in general, there i would recommend check out bridges in Stańczyki, Wigrylake with a nice monastery in the middle and touristy cities like augustow, Tykocin or Białowieża National park with bisons :)
Today, I was thinking where you should go next, but as I can see, my fellow Poles already suggested Mazury :) Please, explore the lakes, I go there every summer ( my sister lives there, by the Gil lake, in Kotkowo ). Thank you !
There's yet another city related to Copernicus-Frombork, small mediaeval town, worth visiting.
Nice! It looks amazing!
@@TwoMadExplorers Copernicus in Poland is a bit like Homer in Greece - many towns claim to have been most important places in their lives and careers. :) Anyway, thanks for the glowing report and enjoy yourselves in our region.
awesome uploaded video my friend, thanks alot for sharing 💐 I wish you alot of success and happiness, stay safe, 🙏 health and connected keep up the outstanding job see you on the next uploaded video 🍒🥀🍒🥀🌟🥀🍒
Thanks Cherry 🙏👍
Es sieht schön aus, und der Ort ähnelt denen hier bei uns.
🙏❤️
I live in Olsztyn..
There is a bus from the town to the beach.
Plażą miejska is simply Town's Beach ⛱️.
As native Polish speaker I want to solve your cognitive dissonance I think I've noticed. Rower (pronounced rover in Polish) is bicycle in polish. Water rover works better for me in Polish and in English.
18:43 my favourite thing is being in the *woodge*
Gdynia 1926. Also our white city (Like Rio or other exlusively modernist cities). However the earliest mention of the name (as a village) is from XIII century.
I just checked that if you want to count in the smallest towns then there is a handful of them as young as 5 years, but they also date back quite a long time.
I am from Olsztyn☺️❤️You walked near my home👌
Giżycko, Mikołajki or Mrągowo thas the proper Mazury cities :)
Olsztyn to Warmia
Thanks to you I managed to be in Olsztyn.
Pozdrawiam z Olsztyna
So im waiting for a photo with You in castletownbere West Cork 😉
Luckily the main train station is repaired now. Hope it will look finally pretty.
Dont forget to visit Szczytno
Nice! Great place to visit,vlog is the perfect!💪🙂
@7:01 I also don't know how many Poles are making this journey from here, but I do know that quite a few Poles are making some sections of the Camino. For example I did, in May, by bike, through Spain. :)
Hi guys,actually they building completly new train station now and should be open in two years time. I AM agree that Olsztyn Railway station is terrible now and very dirty. But I usually fly from Olsztyn Airport to my home town Wrocław.Is very comfortable and cheap with Ryanair.What I know,Ryanair is flying also to Warsaw and Kraków and other European countrys.
Pozdrowienia z Kielc ;) miasta latających noży ;p
Scyzoryków.
Kortowo a town called Kortau used to be a psychiatric hospital today the campus of the University of Warmia and Mazury a place worth recommending
I guess the youngest city in Poland is Gdynia - in the complex of 3 cities (Tri-city): Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia, which are also worth visiting together with Hel Peninsula and the town of Hel on the coast. If you happen to stay a bit longer you could also visit a small town of Łeba near the sea, and its famous dunes or Ustka. Thanks for great videos.
Thank you for watching!❤️🇵🇱
My town❤
I think then city of Zgorzelec or Gubin is closer German border then Szczecin . In the region Warmia & Mazury ( I`m not count , but experts said ) are more then 3 000 lakes . But if you get real relax must to go to Bory Tucholskie ( Tuchola Forest ) . No very much tourists , natural enviroment and is pretty quait there . I`m really sorry for my english .
HI guys, it was nice to see Olsztyn on TH-cam. There are definitelty more beautiful places here to visit. But the Old Town, castle, and the Town Beach (Plaża Miejska) are amongst of theme. I've to admit that i was ashamed hearing of train station here. On the defence of our town, i can only say, that the train station is currently onder major reconstruction, or even rebuilding. So its just kind of udner constructin area now. thanks for visiting us.
Thanks so much for watching 🇵🇱❤️
We love Olsztyn, we are currently in Gdansk now 🙏
that lake looks glorious
It’s so beautiful ❤️🇵🇱
suoer 🥰
We love what you doing 🎈❤️Polish girl and English man 💪🌞😘
Thank you!!! 🇵🇱❤️🇵🇱❤️
Yeah, lol. Level up would be a nigga.
Ostróda (40 km. west of Olsztyn) is my hometown, worth visiting, I recommend it. As well as Giżycko and Ruciane. Regards, your subscriber from Sydney.
I am so happy to hear that after two months you are not butchering polish names that much anymore! Well done! An-mhaith/Sehr gut!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're both great ❤❤❤Go to Lublin (my home town, you won't regret it 👌) Kazimierz Dolny, Nałęczów. Thank you for Albania videos, I'm visiting Albania this year ❤
Our pleasure! Thanks for your support :)
These blue 'dragonflies' that fly like butterflies are actually called damselflies :) The ones in the video are likely a Banded demoiselle subspecies of damselflies.
They're some of my favorite insects since they look like little blue/blue-green fairies - kayaking on a river while they fly around is a magical experience! I personally highly recommend kayaking on river Krutynia.
