Krotoszyn is a town of nearly 29,000 people located in Greater Poland province on the Kaliska Plateau. It is located between Wrocław and Poznań, near Ostrów Wielkopolski, and is more than 600 years old. It was then that Krotoszyn was located under the Magdeburg Law thanks to King Wladyslaw Jagiello. It owes its name to the Krotowski family, who owned the city area in the 15th century.
Over the centuries Krotoszyn was repeatedly destroyed by various invasions or fires, but was rebuilt quite quickly, so that it did not lose too much of its importance and historical urban layout. In recent centuries, crafts (mainly shoemaking and tanning) and agriculture developed rapidly there.
While in Krotoszyn, it's worth seeing the market square with its historic townhouses and town hall from the late 17th century, as well as numerous churches, especially wooden ones - the church of St. Mary Magdalene from 1755 or St. Fabian and St. Sebastian from 1572, which looks like an Orthodox church. The city also has a charming park named after the Polish Army with a long history. In addition, it is surrounded by numerous forest complexes called Dąbrowa Krotoszynskie, where several scenic biking and hiking trails have been laid out.
Krotoszyn is well connected with the rest of the country. National and provincial roads run through it. There is a train station and a bus station with daily connections to major cities and neighboring towns in Greater Poland. From the PKS Krotoszyn station you can also go to many European cities, mainly located in Germany, France, England or Italy.

Aachen is a spa town in western Germany in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands. Aachen was once the seat of Charlemagne and the center of his European empire. Charlemagne built a palace and a chapel there, which was expanded over time into the cathedral that still exists today. Inside this historic temple are the imperial throne and reliquary of Charlemagne, the Great Relics of Aachen, i.e. Mary's gown or the baby Jesus' diaper, among others, and many other valuable medieval objects.
