Kazimierz dolny: what a beautiful and invigorating place. Wonderful food, apart from the trout, and the architecture and the small but tasteful outlets selling artwork of all kinds. Stay in the former synagogue and really savour a piece of the towns rich and varied history. Strange to think that the town square which now is home to so many bars and restuarants catering to the endlesss thirst and hunger of rapacious tourists for sustenance, but which witnessed the assembled might of the German armed forces. These forces successfully sent the Jewish community, men, women and children to Death Camps, cleansing the town of Jewish influence by 1942.
A wonderful and engaging place spiritually, artistically and with wonderful landscapes and views.
