Photo Trip | Poland - A very short tour of Legnica

COVERx43x3.jpg

This year, my trip abroad was a little different from those in previous years. The group had changed, and so had our mode of travel. The trip began with a train ride to Legnica, where we transferred to a car driven by a friend who was coming from Warsaw. This gave us a short break from the journey and some time for a quick walk around the city. With a suitcase in one hand and a camera in the other, you can’t see much in 30 minutes, but if you happen upon a nice spot, you can take a few souvenir photos.

W tym roku moja zagraniczna wycieczka wyglądała trochę inaczej niż te z poprzednich lat. Zmienił się skład osobowy oraz związany z nim sposób podróżowania. Początek wycieczki był pociągiem do Legnicy, gdzie mieliśmy przesiadkę w samochód kolegi jadącego z Warszawy. W ten sposób mieliśmy małą przerwę w podróży i czas na krótki spacer po mieście. Trzymając w jednej ręce walizkę a w drugiej aparat to w ciągu 30 minut niewiele można zwiedzić, jednak jak się trafi w ładne miejsce to można zrobić trochę pamiątkowych zdjęć.

The Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession of the Virgin Mary dates back to the second half of the 12th century and is the oldest church in Legnica. It’s less than a 10-minute walk from the train station to the church.

Kościół Ewangelicko-Augsburski Marii Panny ma swoje początki w drugiej połowie XII wieku i jest najstarszym kościołem w Legnicy. Z dworca PKP dotarcie pod kościół to niecałe 10 minut spaceru.

Standing in front of the church and looking around, we'll see buildings like the ones in the photos below. They house bank branches, restaurants, and various shops. The architecture is both ancient and modern, with a shopping mall located within.

Stojąc przed kościołem i rozglądając się dookoła zobaczymy takie budynki jak na poniższych zdjęciach. Znajdują się w nich oddziały banków, restauracje oraz rozmaite sklepy. Architektura jest zarówno stara jak i nowoczesna, w której znajduje się galeria handlowa.

Najświętszej Marii Panny Street; the photo above shows a view of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession of the Virgin Mary. The photo below, however, shows a view in the opposite direction, with the Post-Evangelical Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul visible in the background. I didn’t make it that far; I had to turn back toward the store’s parking lot.

Ulica Najświętszej Marii Panny, na powyższym zdjęciu widok na Kościół Ewangelicko-Augsburski Marii Panny. Natomiast na poniższym ujęciu jest widok w przeciwnym kierunku, gdzie w tle widać Katedrę pw. św. Apostołów Piotra i Pawła Poewangelicka. Tam już nie dotarłem, musiałem zawrócić na parking sklepowy.

The Piast Castle in Legnica is located near the train station. It was built in the second half of the 12th century and has two towers. The photo shows St. Peter’s Tower.

Zamek Piastowski w Legnicy znajduje się blisko Dworca PKP. Został zbudowany w drugiej połowie XII wieku i posiada on dwie wieże. Na zdjęciu widoczna jest Wieża św. Piotra.

Finally, a fragment of the facade of one of the tenement houses. Driving through the city, one could notice many beautiful tenement houses, but unfortunately, many of them are in need of renovation.

Na koniec fragment fasady jednej z kamienic. Przejeżdżając samochodem przez miasto można było zauważyć dużo ładnych kamienic, niestety sporo z nich wymaga remontu.

Poland is a beautiful country! I visited Krakow last year for the second time, and on the same trip, I decided to check out another city that looks very similar to the one you shared in the post... After looking at the Worldmappin map, I understood why Legnica is so similar to Wroclaw! They are very close to each other!

You did a great job in just 30 minutes of your "photo tour"! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks.
I agree with you that Poland is a beautiful country. I’m gradually discovering it myself through various trips, and I enjoy even short ones like the one to Legnica. Indeed, this city resembles Wrocław, although it is much smaller and lacks dwarves. :)
