The bus station where our coaches stop is located on Hindenburgstrasse, not far from the main train station. This is actually the center of the city, so you'll reach the nearest and one of the city's most important landmarks, St. Vitus Basilica, on foot in twenty minutes.
And heading north you will reach two parks, full of sculptures and installations, designed by some of Europe's greatest artists.
If you're a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, but don't want to devote your trip solely to the match, consider visiting Skulpturpark Abteiberg or Bunter Garten, two gardens. In the latter you will also hit the botanical garden and arboretum.
In our opinion, the Abteiberg Museum, adjacent to the aforementioned St. Vitus Basilica, is also worth a visit. There, works by Andy Warhol and Gerghard Richter await you.
In addition, Monchengladbach can be a base for exploring nearby larger cities such as Cologne and Düsseldorf. Accommodations in Monchengladbach should be somewhat lower than in the state capital. In addition, Monchengladbach, through its proximity to the Belgian and Dutch borders, can be a stop on a trip specifically to the Benelux countries. Although, in our opinion, the number of attractions in the city makes Monchengladbach as a city able to fill a tourist's calendar virtually for a whole week.

Zywiec is not just a local brewery. It's a city located in the middle of the mountains and full of attractions. So check out what to do in Zywiec right now before you check out the beer museum.
If you are considering an extended stay in or around Zywiec, especially during the holiday season, a trip to Lake Zywiec is a must. It is a reservoir created in 1966. In order for it to be created, several villages had to be depopulated and flooded, including Zarzecza, Tresna, and Stary Zywiec.
A dam and hydroelectric power plant were erected in the part of Tresna that was not flooded.
Zywiec has a municipal beach, although it still lacks infrastructure. Therefore, plan an outing to the water with your own provisions.
A regatta is organized on the waters of Lake Zywiec in August, the memorial of Adam Banaszek, commander of the Bielsko sailing club, who died in 1992 while sailing the "Dar Bielski".
Zywiec is located in the middle of the Beskid Mountains. It is, of course, surrounded by the Beskid Zywiecki, but right next to it you will also find the Beskid Slaski or Beskid Maly. If you go further south, you can hit the Slovak Beskid, while west of Zywiec is the Silesian-Moravian Beskid. If you're a beginner hiker, it's worth climbing Skrzyczne, the highest peak in the Silesian Beskid, which rises more than 1,200 meters above sea level. In Beskid Maly you must climb, if that's the right term, Czupel (just 933 meters above sea level). In Beskid Zywiecki, Babia Gora awaits you with 1,725 meters above sea level, making it the highest peak in the area.
Several roads lead to the summit. One of them is the Akademiks' Pass. When deciding on this particular route, you need to be aware that it's a one-way road, and before the summit itself you'll face a short climb over rocks using chains attached to the rocks. Therefore, if you manifest a fear of heights, you should consider a slightly longer but easier route.
