Recently I had a pleasure of visiting Kazimierz Dolny, a captivating town in

Poland. Located by the Vistula River, it is an interesting destination for those looking
for the opportunity of sightseeing in piece and quiet.

Wandering through Kazimierz Dolny you can admire old, cobbled streets and
colourful houses. The first monument I visited was a part of the Lublin Renaissance
Trail - The Parish Church of St. John the Baptist. This Renaissance monument each
year welcomes lots of tourists and enthusiasts of local folklore. Then, I walked to see
the castle ruins, which situated on a hill, offered breathtaking and magnificent sights
of the town.

In the afternoon, I enjoyed the local cuisine in a peaceful restaurant.


Traditional Polish dishes such as pierogi or sausage were absolutely delicious, giving
me a true taste of the region’s culinary heritage.

A peaceful escape awaited me in the Kazimierzowski Landscape Park. It was


created in order to protect the unique elements of natural landscape, especially loess
gorges. The park has the highest density of loess gorges in all Europe, which makes
it an important place from the point of view of geology. All nature lovers will
appreciate the peace and wonderful views that offer overlooks.

An important part of the town’s cultural life are numerous festivals organized
there, such as “Kazimierz Organ Festival” or “Festival of Folk Bands and Singers”.
The multi-genre music festival Kazimiernikejszyn deserves special attention. The aim
of the happening is to combine music concerts, meetings with guests and contact
with nature. The festival’s attractions include, for example, walks through the town
and some activities integrating the participants.

To sum up, my day in Kazimierz Dolny was a delightful combination of history,


art and nature. Whether you are a history lover, an art enthusiast, or just looking for a
quiet getaway, this Polish town offers charming experiences that will stay with you
long after you say goodbye to Kazimierz.
