Prudnik is a small town in Opole province, historically part of Upper Silesia. The rivers Prudnik and Zloty Potok flow through it. It is only 5.5 kilometers from the Czech border.
This medieval town was granted city rights in 1279. The only monument, so to speak, remembering those times is the castle tower (Woka Tower), the oldest tower of its kind in Upper Silesia, from which one can admire the panorama of the city and its immediate surroundings.
Prudnik was not heavily damaged during World War II, so it reflects well the atmosphere of the historic city. Worth seeing is Prudnik's rectangular market square with colorful 18th- and 19th-century townhouses. In its central part is the town hall with a tall tower, and some of the older buildings in the city - the Marian column and the statue of St. John Nepomucen.
Around the city, due to the nearby location of the Opawskie Mountains, one can also find many walking and hiking trails, and in nearby Prudnik-Les there is a well-known Franciscan monastery along with the St. Joseph's sanctuary, where Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski was imprisoned in 1954.
Prudnik is crisscrossed by national and provincial roads. The city is fairly well connected with its nearest neighbors and is located
on the route leading to the Trzebina-Vysoká border crossing with the Czech Republic.
The town also has a railway station and the Prudnik PKS bus station with frequent buses. Numerous connections to Polish and European cities depart from the bus station. If you have never been to Prudnik, but are planning a vacation in the Opawskie Mountains area, for example, visit this town as well - it will surely charm you.

Bielefeld is a city of more than 300,000 people located in the northeastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is an important center of science, culture and industry.
The center of the city is the market square, surrounded by beautiful townhouses, and the biggest attraction is Sparrenburg Castle, located on the slopes of the Teutoburg Forest, which dates back to the Middle Ages and features a distinctive high tower. Visitors have access to underground passageways with a total length of 285 meters. Bielefeld has a botanical garden famous for its azaleas and rhododendrons and Westphalia's oldest open-air museum. The city's contemporary art gallery, housed in a modernist building from the 1960s, is worth a visit. While in Bielefeld, you can also go to the Dr. Oetker museum telling the story of this well-known brand - one of Germany's most popular food companies, still headquartered in Bielefeld today.
Bielefeld is crossed by an expressway that lies on the B61 national road, and the A2 highway connecting the Ruhr area and Berlin passes by. The city is an important railroad junction on the Hanover-Dortmund line. Our buses stop near the Brackwede train station located in the southwestern part of Bielefeld. The city center is about 15 minutes away by public transportation.
In Bielefeld it is possible to get around by light rail, i.e., streetcars running underground, which travel to the surface in the districts farther from the center. This transportation is supplemented by buses and city bicycles.
