According to a fable the devil lives in Leczyca
Beware of the devil.
Wenchitza is how we say it .
Can you say Wenchitza now ?
@@bigloaf7982 hahaha YES!
It was written on tge church doors Pchać which means Push it.
6:00 It is probably devil named Boruta... He lives in dungeons of the castle.
Rynek the main square is pronounced I mean the letter Y it is pronounced like an I in a word of SIN.
You aren't typical tourists but true explorers and adventurers! Thank you so much! 👍👏👌💕
4 hours wait 🥺😔oh no..but great you looked on the bright side. ☺️You both amazing ❤️
The prist said that there is some renovation doing inside that's why it's closed, safety considerations I believe.
Bydgoszcz, Chełmno, Toruń - z Łodzi macie dość blisko.
As a Polish I have never been to this town.
Ja też nie. I zapewne nigdy nie bedę. Tym bardziej dzieki za film ;)
Czyli Łęczyca nie jest jeszcze gotowa na zagranicznych turystów 🤣.
Dzięki za wideo, jesteście super 😘❣️
.....aha aha.....i nie ma zadnego folderu dla turystow.....gdzie ich pokierowac.....co powinni obejzec.....ale problem polega na tym ze tubylcy nie wiedza co turysci zagraniczni chcieli by obejzec....zamek to zrozumiale.....ale co pozatym....zatem tubylcy takze nie wiedza co posiadaja.....a wladze gminne wiedza tylko gdzie mozna cos zjesc i wypic.
Daj spokój, moja wieś mało mniejsza XD
Jeszcze się nie przyjęła :)
Love how you keeping it real 👍☺️😎so glad you got back okay 😘
It's great that you have decided to visit such a small town but you missed Tum - is'a a tiny village 2 kilometres east of Łęczyca with a romanesque 12. century church, one of the most impressive in the whole of Central Europe ! The Tum church is visible from the castle tower of Łęczyca, did you see it ???
there is also an open-air museum and a hillfort in Tum, but that's not a problem my friend was in Beijing and he missed the forbidden city :-)
C.
Rc.
1. Łęczyca = when - tschi - tsa
2. Rynek = ri - neck (not "ray", more close to sit, bit, rid)
Thank you 🙏 👍🇵🇱
Visit the south-west of Poland, there is also the charming Ksiąź Castle near Wałbrzych, Karpcz, Szlarska Poręba with the Śnieżka Mountain, and the Jelenia Góra Valley with its castles, called the Polish Loire because of the number of castles.
It is great how you always look on the bright side in times of trouble like the 4 -hour waiting for the train.
So positive a couple you are. Wish you all the best and keep exploring Poland couse your footage is always very interesting since you visit places off the beaten track.
Thank you Eddie 🙏🙏🇵🇱
Let’s gooooo 🇵🇱
O my goodness "good diabeł" it can not be, the guide lady speaks only polish to you is so awesome, i couldn’t stop to laugh, great stuff...i felt like 30-40 years ago in Poland
Best regards, you do great job
🤣🤣🙏 thank you for watching 🇵🇱❤️
@@TwoMadExplorers no, thanks to you guys, it's great specially that I miss my fantastic Poland very much
Greetings
The Devil of Leczyca (called Boruta) is one of the very old and classic Polish fairy tale characters. According to legend, he is also a Polish nobleman, one of his feet is human, the other is a hoof. He is quite a good-natured and cheerful devil. There are many fairy tales about him, in which he does something for the good of people in a humorous way, e.g. by opposing Lucifer. A lady met in the tower of the castle tried to tell you about him.
Musem lady was describing Devil Boruta who is very closely related to mythology of Łęczyca as he was supposedly living there. There is short article in english on wikipedia if you want to make some sense of why he was presented as half human and "good" devil.
OMFG yes! Poland!!! 🇵🇱
Czekanie na pociąg to najfajniejsza rzecz na świecie 😉
Można liczyć chmury.
Albo zabijac komary i muchy.
Prawdopodobnie gdyby nie YT i wasze podróże, to nigdy nie wiedziałbym, jak jest w Łęczycy. 👍:)
Następnie proponuję Psia Wólka ;)
my mum is from sandomierz, located off virtual riveter, another little town to check out if you end up near it, quite cute and quaint . there is a castle, tower, winery, cafes
Although I spent part of my childhood in Łódź, before moving to the U.S., I only passed through Łęczyca once briefly. I would have never considered Łęczyca as a tourist destination. Thanks for showing us around.
Yes, the lady at the castle said it is a good devil and it had one human foot and one devil-like foot.
And the priest said said the church is being restored.
Kazimierz Wielki was one of the Polish kings and a great ruler.
The lady was so tiny!! And such narrow walkways and corridors. Hoohoo Naomi! Thank goodness for Zabka lol.
Those trains are on Albania schedules lol.
O proszę, niebawem będzie i nasz odcinek z Łęczycy i okolic. Fajnie to robicie. // Thanks For Your work :) Interesting point of view
O proszę właśnie im poleciłem Wasz odcinek dla porównania Pozdrawiam
Thank you so much for another great video from Poland - already added to my Poland Travel - Łódź playlist. A few comments: 1. Boruta the Devil is a legendary "benevolent" devil that is supposed to have been protecting a treasure hidden somewhere in the area. In the nearby village of Tum there is a famous church where one can see a "print" of his palm in a rock. 2. The sticker on the church door said "Pchać" meaning Push. 3. Not sure if the trains were from 2 separate companies but if they were from the same company then you would probably have been able to get a ride on the "local" train with your original tickets. 4. Regarding Wrocław, there is a town of Sobótka a bit SW of Wrocław where one can hike a beautiful mountain called Ślęża that also features some ancient (pre-Christian) rock sculptures. Another great part of Wrocław is the area with the ZOO, Szczytnicki Park, and gorgeous old villas. Enjoy the remainder of your stay and exploring Poland! :)
Jesteście Wyjatkowi.
Z Wami można jechać na koniec świata.
Andrzej Bobola to jeden z głównych patronów Polski. W razie potrzeby, proście Go o pomoc z pewnością pomoże. POZDRAWIAM.
You skip the best historical monument in Łęczyca: Romanesque collegiate stone church build in XII century, located 2 km from main market of Łęczyca (the place called Tum, behind old town) and nearby early middle ages settlement.
Come to my beautiful place called Lubartow not far from Lublin .
6:25 - that's not a swallows but "jerzyk" (Apus apus) - Common Swift - they are smaller than swallow and do quirkie sounds ;)
Unfortunately you guys missed The Collegiate Church in Tum wchich is 2 km away from city and according to legend connected with the castle by secret tunnel. Devil Boruta is a king of slavic devils, and it was a noble men that lived in near city marsh lands. You can watch on youtube some short movies about Boruta with englisch CC, type "legendy polskie" or "the legend of boruta".
The lady said that this guy (and others as well) are the depictions of Boruta (a devil from the Polish folklore) who is a good character. She said “here’s the tail and here’s the hoof. And this is the king Kazimierz the great.”
About babushka she said “no, no, she is a neighbour to the family… Babushka (granny) would look more like me, she has a young skin”
Lał pojechaliście do Łęczycy - szkoda ze już wróciliście bo jest wieś TUM z bardzo starym dużym kościołem Archikolegiata w Tumie a z Tum u już tylko chwila do Piątku i środka geograficznego Polski 😎
I think the priest said: remont that means under renovation. I am not Polish but I am innovating. Zhabka is really a tourist life safer, especially on Sundays!
Such a pity you didn't get to shout wooo hooo from top of the tower lol . great views and another great video 😊👍❤️
Its very interesting, that you have been in the polish cities, that i havent even been to ::) Thanks for good opinions abous my country, but i have to say, that your journey wont be completed without visiting mazury and suwalszczyzna.
Check Giżycko, Węgorzewo, Augustów, Suwałki and even smaller towns out, if you will have time.
Calm and nature... I recommend You for taking some rest!
Udanego pobytu! :)
There's a Zabka, there's a Biedronka... welcome to Poland. Classic.
For being unknown it looks lovely !
Absolutely ❤️
niezwykły powrót do korzeni, Polska to serce. Pozdrawiam i życzę milej podroży przyjaciele !
I don't know guys what are your plans but I recommend visit Kazimierz Dolny, old medieval city and the surrounding gorges - but not during weekends as it is crowded as hell.
The majority of Poland 🇵🇱 historically and pre WW2 has really been a conglomerate of villages, countryside and hamlets..only post war restoration is when the large cities emerged on the scene ..the Warsaw Poznan I Wroclaw..so once you go deep you will discover gems that abound all around the country..ie quaint, unique and special.Thank you for taking us there!😊😉😍
Happy to report you guys consistently are now coming up at the top of my recommended vids. Also, I believe this is the only vid I missed from my Poland binge, and I can't wait to watch it. Yes, I typed this before watching the vid. I'm a veteran of travel vloggers for like 10 years now (it's the only way for me to travel), and you guys are so refreshing. Not kids, no shameless overselling, not trying to be edgy, just a straight approach with two charismatic and nice people with a great connection between each other. The way you guys seamlessly switch the camera while walking (or hiking) and providing 2 POV, is brilliant. Totally in love with you both in a completely non-sexual way, though I love the 'small tits' hoodie lol - I am also half blind and may have read that wrong.
Thank you so much for your support ❤️ we love you too!
Another great video! Geeze 4 hours stuck at the train station, what a complete beating! So happy that you guys always keep it real and share both the ups and the downs of travel life!
Thank you 🙏 🇵🇱🇵🇱
You’re heading to the Baltic sea finally, I guess 🥹
Soon!
Off grid places are great, refreshing vs. other vlogs visiting and reporting on always the same larger places. Glad you covered it!
Very true! Thank you!
7:58 she talks about Boruta.
Please visit Northern Poland. Lots of WW2 sites. Hitler's wolf's den being one. I promise you won't regret.
Łódź heart of Poland
Hi guys! Very nice video!
You missed a place called Tum in Łeczyca there is such a nice church very old but beautiful
Awww no way!! Maybe soon 👀
@@TwoMadExplorers The collegiate church in Tum is a must see since it is huge XII c. building, really impressive with some nice legend about Boruta :)
cudowne
if you guys want to feel claustrophobic, go and see the old silver mine in Tarnowskie Góry ;)
W Łęczycy nie zobaczyliście najważniejszej rzeczy. 1 milę od miasta znajduje się mała osada Tum z bardzo starym romańskim kościołem i bardzo dobrze zachowanymi reliktami osady z X wieku.
The lady was saying " good devil" and pointing to Casimir the Great. The King
Hep hep here i am again my friend greetings from #KrakowPolamd just enjoy great content g
Ad to see you again 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Boruta was always my favorite character in fairy tales I've read in my childhood.
Great tour. Everything was new to me. 👍
That lady from Łęczyca Castle is just cute! "Dobry diabeł" = good devil 🤣and "pokaże, pokaże.." = I'll show 😉 "Luc: Babushka? Lady: No, rather neighbor lady"" 🤣 Lovely, it's a nice hidden gem Guys! Cheers
Cheers Marcin! 🍻
You keep saying "Łyszyca". Cute.
Good diabeł! OMG, that lady in museum is golden :D :D :D
She is a hero 🇵🇱😂❤️
The tension at the end was real. Are they gonna make it? Are they gonna make it? They are mad :D But that's what real travelling is all about. Loved it, can't wait for the next one! Take care
Najlepszy pociąg:)
Hi Guys You need to try explor TYKOCIN POLAND nice town specialy in sunday a lot of things going on Take Care👍
The door to the church had to be pushed. It was written to push(pchać) not to pull(ciągnąć).🤣🤣🤣🤣 The church was under renovation, therefore closed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, probably. However many churches in Poland are locked because of robberies. Then you should go to the priest/administration and say you want to see the church, then he will probably open it for you.
Casimir the Great(Kazimierz Wielki) was the last king of the Piast dynasty. The first dynasty of Polish royal families. He found Poland wooden and left it bricked. He founded the first Polish University in 1364 (Jagiellonian University). He legally sanctioned the settlement of Jews in Poland. That is why the Jewish district bears his name in Krakow (Kazimierz). The legend of his Jewish lover Esterka is also known. The devil Boruta, also called mudguard - a fictitious figure, a devil inhabiting the underground of the castle in Łęczyca. Boruta should not be confused with another popular devil, Rokita. According to legends, he can take different characters. A typical and favorite, most common figure, is Boruta a nobleman, also called Boruta Tumski or Black. He was a tall nobleman with long, black mustache, with black eyes, dressed in a rich robe covering the tail and a cap covering the horns. The devil Boruta has been known in the Łęczyca region for a very long time. He is derived from the Slavic demon, Boruta (Lesza, Borowy), who was to live in forested and marshy areas of today's Łęczyca. Borowy was a forest guard and a guardian of forest animals and a patron of hunters. The very name of Boruta comes from the transfer of the human name to the name Bór(Forest). It is also believed that the name Boruta comes from the pine forest - in Old Polish pine is Boruta. After the baptism by Mieszko I in 966, missionary expeditions began to Christianization of the population. Christian priests, when converting the Slavs, identified the characters from old ones with the devil. In this way, the People's Slavic demon became the devil of Boruta.
🙏🇵🇱🙏🇵🇱
The priest told you that inside the church there are restaurations.
Side note:
Old Łęczyna's people still practice pierogies hunting in the nearby forest.
When chitsa some repair work was being done in the church
Grats for Łodź and Łęczyca. In Łodź you have to see more 10km its not acepted 40 km meaby. 😎 See you guys
Szydłów, Bałtów , Sandomierz . My region of Poland( świętokrzyskie) is not shown enough .
Go Malbork
Polish word `rynek` should be pronounced `rineck` and probably comes from old germanic `ring`, because old slavic settlements were round or oval and main spot (used as a market) in the middle too. Square markets came to Poland with latin civilization.
Go to Racibórz, Rybnik, quickly pass by boring Jastrzębie and visit Ostrava and Brno on the Chech side.There are no borders. Yeah, yeah, Brno is not at the rock throwing distance but worh it.
cheers guys 👍
15:00 There was warning about low ceilings. 😉
Make a trip to Kazimierz nad Wisłą. Interesting, quiant little town.
You should visit Kazimierz Dolny and Lublin :)
The eager guide lady at the castle was attempting to explain to you the legend of the friendly Boruta Devil, an endearing and famous local mythic character, evolved from a pagan guardian spirit of hunters. In his current reincarnation, popular since the Middle Ages, he was/is a nobleman - mischievous, loud, heavy drinker, quick to a drunk saber duel, and chasing the ladies - but the same time always dutifully showing up when the locals need assistance - lost miners, wounded soldiers, etc. He is a patron of miners (many depictions show him holding a mine lamp) and there are actual mines and military units named after the character. Aside from that, shame you missed two local landmarks, both within a walking distance of about 30-40 minutes: the 12th Century Collegiate Church in the village of Tum, one of the oldest in Poland, and the 9th or 10th Century pre-Christian fort, recently partially recreated. On the way there, there is a historic village/live museum with old peasant houses, blacksmith forges, windmills, etc. All cool stuff. Next time try ice cream and gofry in the central market square. One of my fave day trips out of Lodz. A good call for an unplanned adventure. (By the way, the town is on the path of the longest continuous equestrian/horseback riding path in Europe, which starts in Lodz.)
We just watched your video of Łęczyca and nice job. As a non Polish speaking Australian married to a Łęczyca local I had a little laugh at the pronunciation as it is 100% not spelt like it sounds and I know that struggle very well!! My best way to spell it to English speaking/hearing ears is -When-Chit-Za. There's a nice lake there too which is worth a look, a big park and another nice church. It's a very sleepy laid back town.
Loved this video!
You must visit Lidzbark Warmiński. It is a small town with a great history. Nicolaus Copernicus and many famous people lived here. This city is home to the Castle and the best hotel in Europe. It is a region with very historic buildings and churches. I suggest you visit the thermal baths and the nearby villages which are beautiful. In 1809 a great battle took place near Lidzbark. It was Napoleon's war. The old name of Lidzbark is Heilsberg.
You need to check out a Warsaw. There's beauty old town district with a "Kolumna Zygmunta". There's a siren which is a symbol of the city, an castle. If you get there you need to check out a muesems too. I highly suggest to went into "Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego" Museum of Warsaw Rise (absolutly stunning) and Museum of Polish Military - "Muzeum Wojska Polskiego" -it a must seen. Kinda cool looks Centrum of Knowledge Kopernik (Centrum Nauki Kopernik). In order to a story kept in Poland, You should scheck a military cementary called "Powązki Warszawskie"
We have that city on our list! Very excited for that 🇵🇱
I haven't watched your videos since you went to Germany. I'm happy too see you guys in such a long time! You are doing great and your channel is growing so much
-Your old fan Jack
Awww we miss you Jack 🙏
Z małych miasteczek, które warto zobaczyć w Polsce są Kazimierz nad Wisłą. Mieszkam w Warszawie, ale gna mnie co roku do tego uroczego miasteczka z licznymi atrakcjami, kawiarniami, restauracjami. A to wszystko zatopione jest w starej zabudowie renesansowych kamieniczek. W starych spichlerzach powstały fajne knajpy. Ale równie godne zobaczenia są: Sandomierz nad Wisłą i na Mazurach Mikołajki. W Mikołajkach można wykupić rejs po największym jeziorze w Polsce Śniardwy. Akwen tętni życiem. Są ciekawe widokowo rejsy jeziorami i kanałami do Giżycka. Na turystów czekają kajaki w Krutyni, skąd płynie się szlakiem wodnym. Podziwia krajobrazy, jak z innej epoki. Firma zawozi was i kajaki nad rzekę. Po skończonym rejsie, dzwonicie do fimy i odbierają was z kajakiem. Czujecie się na wodzie bezpiecznie, bowiem nie będziecie tu sami - będa was mijać inne kajaki. Można podłynąć do stanicy i tam coś zjeść i napić się. Rzeka Krutynia jest bezpieczna i płytka. Mikołajki to ulubione miejsce żeglarzy. Będziecie zaskoczeni dużą ilością wspaniałych jachtów. A więc zapraszamy do Polskich przemiłych dwóch szalonych turystów, po kolejna porcję przygód.♥♥Lizneliście Mazury bo byliście w Olsztynie, ale to Mikołajki są kwintesencją Mazur.

It was a pleasure meeting you, and now following your travels - have a safe trip up (even further) north! - Tony
Ahh thanks so much! We will come back to Łódź and enjoy a beer someday soon 🇵🇱
- Luke & Naomi
Nice to c someone like to c Poland im living in Ireland. A pity No one there could speak english. All the best. Go to Oświęcim
go to Starachowice and Holy Cross mountains
You guys are fun to watch. Such lovely people. Great videos as well.
Ah thanks so much Mac ❤️
Łęczyca is famous for the devil named Boruta. And the castle is the seat of Boruta. The lady showed you Boruta. The priest told me there was a renovation and work was underway. The local people are a bit surprised, because Łęczyca, according to Polish opinion, is not a tourist town. Foreign tourists arouse interest because it is something new. If you were in Łęczyca, visit nearby Uniejów. An even smaller town, and you will surely be surprised by its tourist offer, castle and magnificent collegiate church. You cannot miss this town.
Hi Guys 😁 what a lovely place 😊 very colourfull and super clean!!!! Great idea to go to less known places and little towns, I think me and Danny will have to start a new tradition and do the same 😜 if you don't mind we might still your idea lol
Even today castles are being built in Poland. One is currently under construction in Stobnica in the Noteć Forest (Puszcza Notecka). It is huge castle. Video from drone: th-cam.com/video/8yneuTC1mnE/w-d-xo.html
A nice video.
Please go visit Zwoleń. It's only 8k even less then Łeczyca. Never been on youtube.
Szklarska Poreba is great for snow fans but in sommer great too nothing then to there
Hi guys, so great you're discovering hidden gems of Poland. I've discovered that versed your channel quite recently. So cool you like my country and you're enjoying it. Have a great time. (If you have more time maybe try and visit Silesia). Great work on picking up Polish words, the Ł sound.
As you asked about the pronunciation of Łęczyca. The ę vowel is pretty important here. In every word with ę try to say 'en' like ŁENczyca. (it's not exactly the same sound, but very very close)
There's similar trick for the Ą vowel. The word "mąka" (flour) is pronounced almost as mONka. (and this works for all words with the Ą sound)
Thanks so much for this great comment! 🇵🇱❤️🙏
Hello Guys, I am glad I found your vlog on YT, I am impressed how you pronounce Polish words 😉 and prepare yourself for history for each city you visit. If you have a time I suggest to visit Tricity, or Tri-City is a metropolitan area in Pomeranian Voivodeship, consisting of three cities: Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot. Big hugs from Chicago ( I was born in Poland, Szczecin). 💕💕💕
Thank you Ewa ❤️🇵🇱❤️🇵🇱❤️🇵🇱
Wow! Nice 🙂👍
The lady said more or less: `As you can see that noble has a tail and horns, so basically this is a devil, but good one... Good devil. One of feet is human and the other is a horse hoof. I`ll show you. We are going ahead and I`ll show you`. The devil is Boruta - a deamon coming from slavic mythology, which survived in folk art, tales and fairytales in Łęczyca area.
The closest pronunciation would be "Lentshitsa" (fonetically) letter "Ę" you can pronounce like "AN" in English :)
