OLESNO
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.

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.

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.
