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.
Walking around Olesno, one can come across the remains of the medieval city walls, the 19th century Jewish cemetery or the wreck of a Soviet Antonov An-24 plane, which is a big attraction at the local resort. 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.

MONCHENGLADBACH
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.
Getting to and from Moenchengladbach - why visit the city and what to see before a Borussia match?
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.
