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.

LUBACZÓW COUNTY AND EASTERN ROZTOCZE
GREEN FIELDS AND HISTORY
WORDS & PHOTOS

Preparing for a conversation with Krystian about the Eastern Roztocze and the Lubaczów region, I concluded that this area of Poland can be
described in three main words: the beauty of nature, active tourism and historical monuments. Probably, like any classification or
comparison, it will have its weaknesses, but if look for generalisations, this will probably be one of the most correct...
TLP: Krystian, why have you become interested in
photographing and filming this region of Poland? Perhaps
because of family ties, your origin, but I do not suspect it to
be the only reason?
KK: My family is not related to the region. My father comes
from Słupsk, my mother is from the neighbourhood of
Leżajsk and I am the fruit of their removal to Horyniec-
Zdrój. As a result, I did not have the opportunity to listen to
stories about the history of the region at home, I got to
know it literally like a tourist who came here, only for a little
longer stay. My main interest has always been associated
with mountains, I love trekking, but with my camera, I
decided to walk around my local sites.
To break out of the pattern that the grass is
always greener on the other side of the fence.
Living in such a picturesque land, I just don't
have to travel far to have an interesting location
for my photographic work. Moreover, there is
also the history of the region. Complicated,
inconvenient but very interesting. With my films
and photos, I present the beauty of the Eastern
Roztocze not only to curious people from all
over Poland but even to residents, as many
places here are hardly visited due to the difficult
access. I treat the surrounding area as my home,
literally, such a big one. I feel good there and I do
not want to leave it.
