Wrocław is the capital of Lower Silesia. Upper Silesia's capital is Katowice . Lower Silesia is shrouded in the secrets of World War II. These are legends about valuable treasures stolen by the Germans in other countries during World War II and hidden in secret hiding places at the end of World War II in Lower Silesia.
If you are going next week, dress warmly because at the end of the week there will be a break in the relative weather. Recently, the temperature at night was slightly below zero, and during the day it was about 7 C +. But in general, you need to dress warmly if you will be outside a lot.
22:49 Since the author of the film about Wrocław mentioned that her family came from Lwów, nowadays Lviv, it is worth recalling that street lamps first appeared in Lwów in 1854. It was the first street lighting in Europe. These lamps were paraffin lamps, and we owe them to Ignacy Lukasiewicz, a Polish pharmacist who invented the method of distilling oil.
Yes! I thought the same when I watched it! Strange she didn’t mention it. Maybe she didn’t want to give the impression of another city having it over Wroclaw! Or maybe technically now Lviv isn’t in Poland she only wanted to showcase ‘current’ Poland. It is a sore point. My family were from The Lwow region and never returned to Poland after the was as they were deported to Siberia and were so sick and traumatised thereafter.
She didnt show you best gems of that city. Spiż with beer, Czeski film with shot of absynt, Haven rock pub with unique visage, Od zmierzchu do świtu pub with blues music. Delphinarium, botanique gardens, muzeum and lot more. I was studying there 2 years in postgraduare studies it was awsom time.
Suné looks polish, her polish pronunciation is perfect. At this point prove me she isn't polish or at least slavic. There's literally no way. Hope you guys have fun in Poland! :)
It is very nice to watch you and respect you for your fascination with our culture and history. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and wish you a pleasant stay in Poland. Greetings from Gdansk.
Wrocław was a Polish city for over 400 years, and then a Czech city. The following years were under the influence of German colonialism and their imperial policy.
I love Wrocław, I still remember the Valentine's Day dinner at the "Przystań/Marina" restaurant ❤. As the first one to comment, i would love too see Your reaction about one of our biggest heroes,🇵🇱Witold Pilecki ❤
Every old town in Poland has something to offer. Wrocław is no exception. I believe that you should not neglect Krakow and its offer for all tourists. Mushrooms. In Poland, mushrooms are wild mushrooms, store-bought mushrooms are like bread and toast, not the same. Vodka. Everyone associates it with Russia because they drink a lot, but it was created in Poland and there are hundreds of brands, there are better and worse ones, just like in the case of wine. The food is good almost everywhere, but ask around because people will recommend better ones.
I live here😊 and Im glad that you will come to Wroclaw.Better in may mounth when all plants are in flowers😊 ..Looking for gnomes you have no time watch beautiful archietcture😊❤❤ greeting from Wrocław
Breathtaking architecture, huge ZOO and Afrykarium, wonderful big parks, amazing history, culture and science; just name it - Wroclaw has it all. It is certainly the best big city in Poland and one of top cities in Europe. It was almost completely destroyed in 1945 at the end of WW2 ( about 80% damage of central part ) and painstakingly rebuilt after the war; certainly one of largest reconstruction efforts in Poland. If you want to take a good view of Wroclaw and whole Lower Silesia including Sudety mountains, you have to visit Sky Tower. It is the tallest residential tower in Europe ( 210 m ) and on top there is a viewing platform. Not far from Wroclaw are very beautiful towns of Swidnica and Klodzko with old towns and city halls comparable to Wroclaw.
Try the soup - Red borscht with the so-called ears - the so-called dumplings are tiny stuffed dumplings, warms you up, and for the second course: pork chop dumplings, chicken liver with onion. For alcoholic beverages, I suggest; "Żubrówka" with a special green herb giving a specific aroma and "Wiśniówka" and for you something strong "Wyborowa" and the beers are Tyskie and Lech. For dessert ; cheesecake, poppy seed cake, apple pie. Enjoy your meal.
Wrocław is the capital of Lower Silesia, not Silesia. These are two different regions of Poland. The dishes mentioned in one of the previous videos were from Silesia, not Lower Silesia.
Another more precise name of Silesia is Upper Silesia. This might be confusing and in fact it is. To recap, the Silesia consists of Upper Silesia and Lower Silesia, but peope often simply use the name Silesia, and refer to whatever they happen to refer (Upper Silesia of Lower Silesia).
In Poland, you can take mushrooms that you have collected in the forest to the sanitary and epidemiological station and have them selected. Or you can ask local mushroom pickers, Poles are very helpful 🙂
I think for Christmas 2024, the 2 of you will have to go to (AT LEAST) one Polish Christmas market. It will be a good way to get you into the spirit of the holiday. It will ALSO be a chance to buy your families (& maybe friends & yourselves) some special unique gifts to bring back with you & a chance to see Wroclaw again (or experience a new place in Poland you have not gotten to yet.) There is NO LAW that says you are only allowed to visit a Polish city one time. Then, you can return to your home in South Africa (if you are going) or return to Germany etc. & already be in the Christmas mood - with great experiences & stories to tell.
Pisanie "nie mogę uwierzyć, że to Polska" jest delikatnie niegrzeczne. Bo brzmi jakby ładne miasta i ciekawe rzeczy mogły być we Francji, Włoszech a nie w jakiejś Polsce. Nawet jeśli nie wiedzieliście to można zachwyt wyrazić innymi słowami
France and Italy are nothing compared to Poland. Coming from South Africa, when you hear about European countries, you only hear about the most popular ones.. but nobody ever told us how beautiful and amazing Poland is until we found out for ourselves. I still cannot believe some of the beautiful things Poland has. It reminds me of my home country. That is what we meant 🫶🏻

From straight white vodkas / you guys should taste Wyborowa / that\s the only one that tastes different. I would recomend you to try the coloured ones especialy Staropolska (old polish vodka) with honey and other stuff that is uniqe in the world and you can actually drink it in sips
One of the oldest restaurants in Europe is in Wroclaw…. It’s the oldest restaurant in Poland and still exists! May be worth checking out. It’s called Piwnica Swidnicka!
13.00-After World War II, the west established borders with Stalin and the lands in the east were taken from us and lands were given in the west, but before the war we had more land in square kilometers, probably by about 80,000 square kilometers, and people were resettled from the east to the west.
@@militaryhelmet9852 mam na myśli podobieństwo w stylu że nie ma tu zamkow itp typowych atrakcji turystycznych. A raczej stare fabryki włókiennicza i PARKI. Zabytki po rewolucji przemysłowej. A że łódź jest jakieś 6 razy mniejsza od Rotterdamu stąd określenie low key.
Its great that you visit Poland but its not the best period to do it. You could wait two months for beautifull spring here in Poland. P.S. pure wódka cannot be tasty! To do not drink it to much 😂
Yeah please dont mushroom forage without someone experianced there with you. We do have mushrooms that are not safe to eat and we usually learn form our parents and grand parents how to do it. Doing it inexperianced on your own is asking for trouble
Oh man... You are blaspheming when you say that vodka is vodka! Really :) You must make an appointment for a tasting sometime :) And the vodka in Polish blood is a stereotype :) Just like whisky in Scottish or Irish blood. Besides, generally Poles have their own culture of drinking this vodka. if you are a bit unlucky, you will see English tourists how they look after vodka. You've probably already planned your Wroclaw trip in detail. For the future, I'd like to draw your attention to a few places around, maybe even the whole trip. Mount Ślęża and the cult on its top, Książ Castle, Riese Project, Złoty Mine in Złoty Stok :) there are a lot of old castles between the border and Wrocław. Many lovely places outside of lovely Wrocław.
Interesting fakt , during WW2 when Wrocław was German Breslau and was encircled by soviet army and not able to get any supplies for german army and civilians , Germans did build an airfield strip in middle of City damaging few quarters of city center to make luftwaffe airplanes be able to land inside the encircled Breslau
Wroclaw, underdog? Not for Polaks... Augustow or Jelenia Gora could be an underdog. How can a 4th populated city, as old as Cracow, older than Gdansk, can be an underdog?

No, actually it was Gorlice, where Lukasiewicz worked.
Tak się naoglądałem że bardzo zgłodniałem , ale narobiliście smaka . 🇵🇱👍
Lower Silesia is actually a different region from Upper Silesia. If just Silesia is mentioned it usually relates to Upper Silesia.
I'm looking forward to the next video from Wrocław. I wish you a pleasant stay in Wrocław

Wrocław as some call it WrocLOVE
For mushroom foraging you have to wait until mid-late summer.
According to the book Microcosm (by Norman Davies), Wrocław has had almost 50 different names throughout modern history!!!
On Wikipedia you can read an article about the Orange Alternative. This is the story of Wroclaw dwarves.
need to go to Piwnica Świdnicka is the oldest representative city inn in the world, whose beginnings can be sought as early as in the 13th century.
Hi, for soups i reccomend:
pomidorowa - tomato soup,
rosół - chicken soup,
żurek - soured rye soup,
barszcz - beetroot soup,
ogórkowa - cucumber soup
and maybe kapuśniak - cabbage soup.
cheers!

9.30-In Polish culture, we welcome guests with bread and salt. We also have special bakeries where they only sell bread, rolls and other baked goods
Very Nice vid you do great work with resarche ❤
Fudgies (Krówki) in Polish slang are called "mordoklejki" that translates to mouth glue :)
krówki to krówki , mordoklejki to toffi...
@@rozaliaroyale
No, mordoklejki ot it's kind of krówki with very soft stuffing. Fudge candy would have hard "shell" which is absent in mordoklejki.
The best viepoints in Wrocław are: Garrison Church, St. Mary Magdalene Church, Mathematical Tower (on Wrocław University), Cathedral, and Sky Tower.
Have a great trip, you guys!
Wisch you good fun in Wroclaw 🤗😉
After visiting Gdańsk, you will change your mind about Wrocław.
It all depends on what you like. Each city has its advantages.

Not a season for mushrooms yet. Late summer and autumn.
another fun fact: Trzonolinowiec - a unique building which was built from top to bottom - pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trzonolinowiec_we_Wroc%C5%82awiu
You may go gather mushroums ant then search closest sanepid station they will tell you which one are good for eat and which are uneatable.

The best Polish vodka is BELVEDERE. In my opinion
This is southwestern Poland, and here you have northeastern Poland - th-cam.com/video/FhbDLHAFrBs/w-d-xo.html
If it comes to vodka the first sip is the worst one but later you just drink it like water ;)
00:05 "żdż" in "przyjeżdżamy" was a little to weak. :) I had to listen twice to understand that.

Wrocław is a capital of Lower Silesia, but what you refer to IT is probably the higher Silesia with a capital on Katowice. Still całe.
Never drink Polish vodka sip by sip. You'll get drunk very fast :)
