A ROYAL ADVENTURE IN POLAND


No vacation to Poland is complete without visiting a castle or two P


oland has an impressive array of castles and palaces located throughout the country. While many come


from medieval times — a prosperous era for Poland — there are castles from many other periods as well. Some are priceless monuments of the past preserved in their original state, while others were restored or reconstructed with such meticulous care that they became works of art no less impressive than the original structures. Many of these timeless buildings are now


home to museums, like Wawel Castle in Krakow, or education centers like the Royal Castle of Warsaw. Others — such as the UNESCO-listed Malbork Castle — serve as venues for cultural events and outdoor shows.

Quite a few of the palaces located in cities and countryside function as luxury hotels, with restaurants offering authentic Polish fare, such as such as the Krasicki Hotel in Lidzbark Warminski. Getting to some of these castles and


palaces can be an adventure on its own. One of the best and most popular tourist trails in Poland, the Trail of Eagles’ Nest, passes through a chain of 25 medieval castles and watchtowers between Krakow and Czestochowa. With a 117-mile-long cycling trail, many of the castles on the Trail of Eagles’ Nest are accessible by bike. Visiting castles and palaces in Poland is a


fascinating journey across centuries and a must for every adventure traveler.
