SZCZEKOCINY bus to AACHEN
SZCZEKOCINY
Szczekociny is a small town on the northeastern outskirts of the Silesian province, located on the Pilica River. Szczekociny was granted city rights as early as the end of the Middle Ages. For several centuries, the town's location at the intersection of two important transportation routes - from Cracow to Greater Poland and Kujawy, and from Czestochowa to Jędrzejów - contributed particularly to its development. A large contribution to the current urban layout and development of the town was made by the family of the 18th-century owners of Szczekociny - the Dębiński family. Today the town has a population of about 4,000.
The town's greatest monument is the baroque-classicist Dębinski palace from 1780 surrounded by a beautiful park, and the parish church of St. Bartholomew, listed in the register of monuments. The great advantages of the town are also its surroundings - numerous forests and the Pilica River providing opportunities for active recreation, especially by organizing canoeing trips.

AACHEN
Aachen is a spa town in western Germany in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands. Aachen was once the seat of Charlemagne and the center of his European empire. Charlemagne built a palace and a chapel there, which was expanded over time into the cathedral that still exists today. Inside this historic temple are the imperial throne and reliquary of Charlemagne, the Great Relics of Aachen, i.e. Mary's gown or the baby Jesus' diaper, among others, and many other valuable medieval objects.
