Travel.LovePoland December 2020
Dear Readers, As befits the winter issue of the magazine, we encourage you to get to know and visit various parts of Poland. We show you round the most famous places, such as Gdańsk or the Tatras (in Łukasz' beautiful photographs), but we also encourage you to get to know the less known ones, such as Tylicz or Ochodzita or the Herbst Museum in Łódź. As usual, we devote a lot of space to Polish nature. This time in two articles: Magda and Łukasz take you on the Biebrza, and Włodzimierz Stachoń invites you to get to know wild birds. There must be also something about Christmas traditions. As always, Kasia Skóra will tell about many of them – but she won't be the only one. Get to know some secrets of Polish Christmas cuisine, including those described by Magdalena Tomaszewska-Bolałek. And almost at the end, we have for you a beautiful, in our opinion, photo gallery by Kamila Rosińska - kept in a very festive mood. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Good New Year.

This war cemetery contains 54 war graves: 42 Austro-Hungarian and 12 Russian soldiers
who fell in March 1915.
Lesser Poland, low Beskid
War Cemetery No. 51 at Rotunda is a historic cemetery from the First
World War. The necropolis, one of the most beautiful in the Low
Beskids, is located on the top of Rotunda (between Regetówka and
Zdynia valleys).
The facility was established by the Austrian authorities in the years
1915-1918, in the region of Galicia. Among all the military cemeteries
from World War I, located in the Low Beskids, the one in Rotunda
certainly deserves special attention. It results from the extraordinary
beauty of the necropolis, its location, history, and the atmosphere of
mystery and uniqueness that surrounds the monument.
Rotunda
Rotunda Hill, Regietow 38-315, lesser Poland
Open:
all year long, open air, free entry
Duration of the visit: about 30 minutes
Trekking or sport shoes recommended. Access to the site is
not easy, as there's at least 1:30 hour walk on from west
(Regietów) side or less steep but much longer walk from
east (Zdynia) side.
Reaching the cemetery is not easy and finding it may take a long
time. The monument is hidden among trees, thick grasses and
shrubs. Perhaps, it is the whole aura and surroundings that make
the necropolis even more intriguing – and thus it makes a huge
impression on tourists. The necropolis was designed by Duszan
Jurkovic and it is the most impressive and most interesting of the
group of 31 necropolises created by this architect, in the so-called
Żmigród district.
