Bus to CASSINO from PSZOW - buy a ticket
PSZOW
As you explore Pszow, a tiny town in the heart of the Silesian province, you may feel that you are stepping on the footsteps of time. Situated quietly in the valley of the Oder River, this place comes alive with history and culture, tempting tourists with the richness of its attractions.
Undoubtedly, the crown monument of the city is the Minor Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its Gothic architecture, given a Baroque facelift over time, hides real treasures: the main altar from 1710, a baptismal font from three centuries ago and an organ made thirty years after the altarpiece.
Mentioning monuments, it is impossible to omit St. Nicholas Church. It's like reading ancient chronicles, where the 13th-century roots of this temple lead through the eras, from its Romanesque beginning to its Gothic transformations. The Romanesque portal from the 13th century, the Gothic altar from the 1500s and the Baroque font from the 1700s are like pages of a magic book.
On the other hand, in Tworków, not far from Pszow, you'll come across the ruins of a castle from the 14th century. Once erected at the request of the Dukes of Racibórz, it now presents itself as a fascinating ruin after being destroyed by war.
Ignacy Mine and Szarlota Heap
A little farther away, in Łączna, the Ignacy Mine is a piece of the past from the 19th century. One of the most modern in Upper Silesia at one time, today it is open to the public, shedding light on the hard times of mining.
In Pszow, the Szarlota Heap, an artificial mountain built from post-mining waste, is a must-see. The highest point on this heap offers an impressive panorama of the city and its surroundings.
Buses to and from Pszow
If you're planning a trip to Pszow, think about convenience. Buses to and from Pszow are a great option. Consider using the coaches of the line Sindbad. Modern, comfortable coaches stop right next to the Biedronka store on Traugutta Street.

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.
