PRUDNIK
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 - how to get there
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.

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.
