Hugging the German border, Western Poland is made up of the West Pomeranian, Lubusz and Lower Silesian Voivodships (Provinces), the largest cities of which are Szczecin, Gorzow Wielkopolski and Wroclaw respectively. Both Szczecin and Wroclaw are beautiful medieval cities with many popular attractions. Drawno National Park, part of the massive Drawska Forest, lies at the convergence of West Pomerania, Lubusz and Greater Poland. Lubusz is also home to the bird-filled Ujscie Warty National Park.

The wooden churches of southern Little Poland represent outstanding examples of the different aspects of medieval church-building traditions in Roman Catholic culture. Built using the horizontal log technique, common in eastern and northern Europe since the Middle Ages. The wooden church style of the region originated in the late Medieval, the late sixteenth century, and began with Gothic ornament and polychrome detail, but because they were timber construction, the structure, general form, and feeling is entirely different from the gothic architecture or Polish Gothic (in stone or brick). Later construction show Rococo and Baroque ornamental influence. The form of these Roman Catholic churches is deeply influenced by the Greco-Catholic and Orthodox presence in the region.

We were looking forward to our guided tour and were not disappointed. It was wonderful to get so close to history. Every point of our tour meaningful, well explained and many of our questions were answered. Our tour guide’s English was excellent. We really appreciated professionalism and time management. Everything (excluding street parking, which is clearly out of anyone’s control) was very well planned.

We were picked up on time by Wojciech. He was a fantastic guide. From start to finish we were looked after perfectly. It is quite a long drive but absolutely worth it. The scenery is outstanding. We enjoyed seeing traditional wooden houses and 15th century Church of St Michael the Archangel. Rafting in Dunajec was pleasant. The rafts hold 12 people and it was quite busy. I recommend if you visit Krakow allow yourself 6 days as there is so much to see and do.

I wanted to leave a review for Mr.Shuttle Krakow but it is not listed. Mr.Shuttle tours were fantastic, pickup from hotel and drop back after was an excellent service. With Mr. Shuttle I did the Auschwitz-Birkenau & Salt Mine tour and I'll be honest, I didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be a very educational day and Mr. Shuttle provided lunch. I will consider using Mr. Shuttle again next time I visit Poland for tours elsewhere. My only feedback (dislike) was there was not enough time for myself. Upto one hour for self-exploring would be beneficial for any other opportunity to take photograph or visit the gift shops.
