Around & About

Prior to WWII, Kazimierz Dolny was home to a large Jewish community who made up half of the population. You can see photos of pre-war Jewish life in the town within the renovated synagogue in the town square.

Kazimierz Dolny isn’t just about the town and its architecture, on the edge of town is Korzeniowy Dol Gorge, a terrific chunk of green space complete with walking trails.

If you’re feeling energetic, then the short climb from the town centre to the Hill of Crosses is recommended, the view of the town and Wisła is incredible. The three crosses are a memorial to the victims of a cholera epidemic in 1708.

The only negative thing to say about the town is its popularity. During weekends between April and October, traffic coming into the town can back up several kilometres.

The region has two National Parks, Polesie National Park and Roztocze National Park in addition to 17 Landscape Parks. It also has a number of historical sites including the UNESCO-listed Old Town in Zamość.

The city of Lublin is definitely worthy of a day trip, it has a thriving cultural and academic scene, a small but quaint Old Town and an impressive collection of Renaissance and baroque townhouses. There are plenty of sites to explore such as Lublin Castle, the Donjon Castle Tower, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Lublin, the Trinity Tower, and the Lublin Underground Trail.
