Görlitz and Zgorzelec are two very different cities in both size, population, architecture and feeling. On visiting these two towns you will find there to be a great contrast between them. The German city of Görlitz has been beautifully restored, whilst the Polish town of Zgorzelec holds, in parts, a certain rustic charm. These towns enable visitors to transcend over bridges to their neighbouring country on foot, bike or motor vehicle. You can chow down Polish pierogi for lunch then hop over to Germany for fine vistas atop numerous historical towers. And let's not forget their attachment to Hollywood movies. Görlitz really is dubbed the German Hollywood as Görliwood. Think polished town houses, mouthwatering cakes and picture postcard squares you can idle sunny days on.
This video aims to give you a brief taster of the regions of Silesia and German Saxony. I will take you to see a monument marking CET before drawing your attention to a forgotten WW2 war memorial positioned in the heart of Zgorzelec.
I hope you enjoy watching it and in turn are encouraged to make a visit, whether you've been before or not.

I look forward to seeing you in my next video. Next up - PRAGUE!

Nice video, Thomas. I recommend visiting other towns on the German-Polish border - Frankfurt-Slubice and Swinoujscie-Ahlbeck and also Cieszyn on the Czech-Polish border. Whenever I visit such towns, I find it exciting to be able to be in one town and two countries at the same time. I imagine that for people living in such places it is quite a challenge to live together with people of different nationality. I wish I knew what they think about that. Btw, congratulation on your Polish (when you pay for your drink in a shop just across the border).
@makingjourneys
@makingjourneys 3 года назад
Thank you for your suggestions of towns to reconnoitre for future. Still recall some Polish from my first year teaching in N.Poland as an EFL Teacher, back in '06 - FOND MEMORIES. Living among other nations (harmoniously) is a good opportunity to better ourselves; the best life lessons IMHO. I will research these towns you've suggested. Feel free to check out my other VIDS and keep your eyes peeled for more. Best wishes, =T

hi, friend! excellent video! One question, what is the name and where is that restaurant where you enter and climb stairs? It looks like a tavern entrance like a half-old bar. It was after eating at the first restaurant by the river.
@makingjourneys
@makingjourneys 4 месяца назад
Dear Richardo, Thank you very much for your positive review. It was one of my first ever videos in fact. As for the restaurant it's a real gem. The name in English is 'Jacobs Inn' and is located very close to the footbridge connecting to German Görlitz. I wish you a pleasant time there & now is a great time to go. This is the Google maps link and am thrilled to note it's still open. maps.app.goo.gl/N7y62BfcNkULd7Dg6

Hello Thomas! I thought it was just a restaurant. Is it also accommodation? I have been beautiful. I ate yesterday where you ate Piwnica, on the side of the river, which of the two is more expensive? thanks again. The second Jacobs Inn location... it seems to me that the second floor is small and has few tables, right? And is the service good like in Piwnica? or very serious. luck!
@makingjourneys
@makingjourneys 4 месяца назад
I think the term 'Inn' is used in a casual way these days, often reflecting on how they might have once operated, to accommodate. I think you'll find it's just a restaurant serving great local nosh. Good luck. =T

There is still loads to explore there :) Synagogue, Friedhof, clinic housed in amazing building, Bombardier wagon factory, workers district around the factory, DDR commieblock district with shopping street - not every communist town had such amenity. Swimming pool and "datchas" - small gardens emulating russian "datschas" . Also local brewery and cycling path along Niesse , going near small lakes. And it is just a beginning :)
