How to travel from OLESNICA to CASSINO?
OLESNICA
Oleśnica is a small town of about 35,000 people in Lower Silesia, located near Wroclaw. The Oleśnica River flows through it. Attractions and monuments worth seeing here include first of all the Olesnica Princes' Castle, dating back to the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Although most of its former furnishings were looted during and after World War II, the body of the building itself, the cloisters in the courtyard or other decorations have not suffered too much and today remind us of the former splendor of this object. The castle is connected with the nearby Basilica of St. John the Apostle, also known as the castle church, by a 14th-century gallery. In the richly decorated interiors of the church, in addition to the magnificent altar, pulpit or organ, one can visit the chain library and the mausoleum of the Dukes of Württemberg.
Olesnica is also home to the historic 16th-century Dormition of the Holy Mother of God Orthodox Church and the Old Synagogue building, which is now a Pentecostal Church congregation. It is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Poland that once served as a synagogue - it was built at the end of the 14th century. Olesnica's medieval town gate and defensive walls are also a major attraction. The city has an impressive recreational complex, ATOL, which includes an aquapark, climbing wall, tennis, squash and miniature golf courts.

CASSINO
The town of Cassino is located halfway between Rome and Naples. For centuries it has been a kind of gateway to the Italian capital. The hill of Monte Cassino rises to a height of 519 meters above sea level. It was here that the bloodiest and fiercest battle of World War II was fought from January to May 1944. At the site of the monastery passed the Gustav Line, the crossing of which opened the way to Rome for the Allies and moved the front, which had been stalled for long months.
Being on Monte Cassino, it is worth starting your visit with the Benedictine monastery, who established their abbey here as early as the 6th century. During the memorable battles of 1944, the hilltop monastery was almost completely destroyed. Fortunately, much of the historical furnishings from the basilica and valuable works of art and manuscripts were saved. Today they can be admired in the local museum. The Cathedral Basilica of Monte Cassino itself has been painstakingly rebuilt, preserving its pre-war appearance. An attraction that few people know about is the vast Natural Park surrounding the hill. Its area is nearly 700 hectares. In addition to the famous Polish War Cemetery, its grounds include other important Polish monuments - to the "Scorpion" Armored Regiment and the 3rd Carpathian Rifle Division - as well as several scenic walking trails.
The town of Cassino itself also has a few Polish touches - among the most important and most visited are a small museum dedicated to Wladyslaw Anders and a monument to Wojtek the Bear. There are also the remains of a Roman temple and amphitheater from the 1st century BC and an early medieval fortress.
