Bus to OLESNO from FOLKESTONE - timetable and current connections

Olesno is a small town in Opole Province on the Stobrawa River with a history dating back to the 13th century, although traces of human habitation in the area date back to the Neolithic Age.

The biggest attraction worth seeing here is the St. Anne's indulgenced church of unusual architecture, located on the trail of wooden religious buildings in Opole province. Seen from a bird's eye view, it resembles a five-petaled flower or star. The oldest church in the city is St. Michael's Church, built in the 14th century, which after numerous reconstructions represents a mixture of Gothic and Baroque. Other noteworthy churches in and around Olesno are the St. Roch's Shrine or the one dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene - both wooden. Olesno's historical and cultural heritage, meanwhile, is presented by the Regional Museum.

Walking around Olesno, one can come across the remains of the medieval city walls, the 19th century Jewish cemetery or the wreck of a Soviet Antonov An-24 plane, which is a big attraction at the local resort. The city is surrounded by pine forests with numerous hiking and biking trails, meadows and small lakes and ponds. At the northwestern borders of Olesno there is a miraculous spring with water with healing properties.
