OSTROLEKA bus to STRASBOURG
OSTROLEKA
Wondering what non-obvious travel destination to choose? Where you haven't been before, and perhaps worth going? Between Warsaw and Bialystok lies a small town of great historical importance. We are, of course, talking about Ostroleka, a small town, but how important, for example, in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Back then it was a significant point on the trade route between Warsaw and Vilnius.
Why is it worth coming to Ostroleka?
Ostroleka is not a large city, so many important and worth seeing sights are located close together. Let's say the Museum of Kurpie Culture is located right next to the Old Town or the bridge named after Antoni Madalinski, yet these are the most important and characteristic points of Ostroleka. What's more, in Kadzidlo there is Zagroda Kurpiowska, which is a kind of open-air museum full of cottages and farm buildings from the 19th century, for example.
Ostroleka also has a well-preserved old town, the street layout is identical to that of the fourteenth century, however, it should be pointed out that due to its turbulent history and, among other things, the damage sustained, for example, during the First World War, the building of the town hall located right on the market square is no longer what it was in the nineteenth century.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a respite on a warm day, and happen to be in Ostroleka, or want to take a break from sightseeing, it is worth going to the city beach, as the city is clearly located on the Narew River.

STRASBOURG
Strasbourg is an important point on the map of Europe, both today and in the past. This particular town was actually fought over from the beginning. Until the twelfth year of our era, the town was ruled by the Gauls, but then it was forcibly captured by Roman legionaries. They erected a fort there for crossing the Rhine. For the next five centuries the Roman Empire successfully defended itself against barbarian attacks. However, in the year five hundred they succumbed to the Germanic tribes, who, alongside the Asiatic Huns, captured the fort and renamed it from Argentoratum, a name they did not understand, to Stratœburgus, a town on the beaten road.
From then on, the city was ruled by the Franks. Or at least until the end of the seventeenth century. Then Louis XIV annexed Strasbourg to the Kingdom of France. Of course, this was not the end of the struggle for this particular locality.
Proof can be found in the rivalry between Strasbourg and the German city of Kehl, which competed for supremacy in the region. It was only years later that cooperation was established and a bridge was erected between the cities. And it existed as a symbol of cooperation until World War II. And once the rumblings of the cannons ceased, it was erected anew, with European funds and the involvement of both sides. Since then, the bridge over the ren has been used to move tens of thousands of cars a day!
