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!
One of the best ways to get to Strasbourg, of course, in our opinion, is by bus. Our buses to Strasbourg stop at Place de l "Etoile. It's actually the very center, so leaving the deck of our bus in a quarter of an hour you can find yourself in the old town, admire the Notre Dame Cathedral and taste the local delicacies. And Strasbourg is famous for its amazing cuisine.

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.
The S11 national road, as well as provincial roads, runs through Olesno. There is also a railroad station and a bus station organized into a city transfer center. Our Olesno buses stop there, from where it is only 850 meters to walk to the city center.
