KOLN bus to OSTROLEKA

Wondering what non-obvious travel destination to choose? Where you haven't been before, and perhaps worth going? Between Warsaw and Bialystok lies a small town of great historical importance. We are, of course, talking about Ostroleka, a small town, but how important, for example, in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Back then it was a significant point on the trade route between Warsaw and Vilnius.

Why is it worth coming to Ostroleka?

Ostroleka is not a large city, so many important and worth seeing sights are located close together. Let's say the Museum of Kurpie Culture is located right next to the Old Town or the bridge named after Antoni Madalinski, yet these are the most important and characteristic points of Ostroleka. What's more, in Kadzidlo there is Zagroda Kurpiowska, which is a kind of open-air museum full of cottages and farm buildings from the 19th century, for example.

Ostroleka also has a well-preserved old town, the street layout is identical to that of the fourteenth century, however, it should be pointed out that due to its turbulent history and, among other things, the damage sustained, for example, during the First World War, the building of the town hall located right on the market square is no longer what it was in the nineteenth century.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a respite on a warm day, and happen to be in Ostroleka, or want to take a break from sightseeing, it is worth going to the city beach, as the city is clearly located on the Narew River.
