Travel Love Poland Magazine – March 2021
Dear Readers, And so the spring has come again. Disliked by some as in Poland it tends to be often cool till May while adored by the others. However, before we move on to more spring topics, we invite you to read the conversation with probably the most famous Slav and Slavic warrior in Poland, i.e. with Igor Górewicz. It is a fascinating journey into the past, and since Igor's knowledge is immense, his stories will be extremely interesting, not only for history lovers. As usual, the whole is illustrated by already well-known Marek Kalisiński. From more spring themes, this time we recommend trips to Roztocze and cycling adventures in southern Poland. We especially want to draw your attention to the photographs by Marcin Gądek in the article "Churches from heaven". As Marcin is also a priest, his stories and photographs have an additional, slightly deeper dimension. Also, get to know the city that we haven't presented yet – that is Opole. Perhaps slightly off the beaten track of the most frequent hikes, it will be an interesting proposition for music lovers. Opole is called the capital of Polish song. There will be, as usual at this time of the year, Easter accents, both culinary (with a recipe for Sękacz) and visual – we are presenting once again the photographs by Kamila Rosińska - as well as her two new stories for children.

based on the scenario of an archaeological exhibition on military affairs at the beginning
of the Polish State entitled "Piast Total War" at the Museum of the Origins of the Polish
State in Gniezno. His sons played the role of young Niemir. Igor was also one of the
exhibition curators.

I heard about Igor for the first time while working with Marek Kalisiński on an
article about Wolin. It was then that Marek told me about Igor's squad. Later, we
showed the latest book by Igor: About the Slavonic Arms: In War and in Culture.
Just like that, the idea for a broader presentation of what Igor does on a daily
basis was born, as it is a fascinating and still little known topic. We are going to
talk about the Slavs (or actually about the beginnings of Poland), but also about
the way Slavonic roots still shape Polish consciousness.
I admit that although I try to get to know the cultural and spiritual heritage of
Poland, in my interests I focused more on old sagas or folk traditions and I paid
less attention to prehistoric roots (although these topics are probably intertwined
and permeated). For this reason, I invite you to an interview with Igor D. Górewicz,
during which I will try to open up my mind for a completely new field. I hope it will
be interesting for you as well. Maybe you will even visit some of the places
mentioned during your stay in Poland.
