Bus SZCZEKOCINY - CASSINO - Sindbad
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.

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.
