Opolskie full of flavour
Opolskie voivodeship is one of the least known and one of the most interesting regions in Poland. It delights with the beauty of wild nature, reserves and landscape parks, picturesquely situated lakes and rivers. The knowledge-hungry tourists are attracted by historic palaces and castles – there are over one hundred and sixty of them. For years, the influences of Polish, Czech, German and Borderland cultures mixed in the voivodeship. Thanks to this, Opole Silesia is famous for its unique traditions and interesting customs. It is mixed here with the German “ordnung” – order with the Slavic tradition. We can still try regional delicacies here, participate in folk rituals, learn about already forgotten crafts.
