Photo of the year by Daniel Koszela — Nordic skiing marathon in Piastów, #Poland.

#BeLikePoland #photo #photooftheday #VisitPoland #BeautifulPoland Image
Bieg Piastow is organized in cross country ski resort in Jakuszyce in Jizera Mountains in Lowers Silesia. Jakuszyce is a part of Szklarska Poreba – one of the most popular tourists spots in south-western part of Poland. Image
The best of Bieg Piastow are beatiful, natural tracks, with downhills and uphills, in forest of Jizera Mountains – train & start here is an invaluable lesson on nature, a chance to meet rare fauna and flora. It is a unforgettable adventure, not only for sport reasons #VisitPoland
The first Bieg Piastów race took place in 1976. The main distance was planned for 20 km but in fact it was something like 15 km around the Cicha Rownia. 518 people took part in the first race but only 261 completed it. Stanisław Michoń won the first race 🏆 #PolishHistory Image
While the original Bieg Piastów is a wintertime event, there is now a summertime race as well taking place in the Iser Mountains (Góry Izerskie). With its generous topography it's an ideal area for outdoors during all seasons. Image
The Iser Mountains, the westernmost range of Sudetes, belong to the least known and the most mysterious mountains in 🇵🇱. Located west of the popular Karkonosze Mtns, this range captivates with its wild beauty ⛰

The Saxon Palace was one of the most distinctive buildings in prewar #Warsaw. It was destroyed by Germans in #WWII.
A 🧵:

#PolishHistory #Poland #ReparationsForPoland #BeLikePoland #unredeemed #ReparationsNow #PałacSaski

The Palace, erected as a result of the expansion of the 17th-century palace of Jan Andrzej Morsztyn (a leading poet of the Polish Baroque), was rebuilt many times in the following centuries. During the Second Polish Republic, it was the seat of the General Staff of the 🇵🇱 Army.
After the destruction of the Palace by 🇩🇪, the only trace of it that remained was a fragment of the 3 central arcades with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier–a symbolic grave commemorating the nameless soldiers who died in the defense of 🇵🇱”

Less than 4️⃣ years after the @BalticPipe_PL construction agreement was signed the #BalticPipe project is about to become operational on Oct 1 & will be filled with as much gas as is needed to make 🇵🇱 independent from 🇷🇺

This is why it's of key importance, a🧵:

#BeLikePoland Image
#BalticPipe is a strategic #gas infrastructure project with the goal of creating a new supply corridor in 🇪🇺 market. The new pipeline will allow transport of gas from 🇳🇴 to the 🇩🇰 and 🇵🇱 markets, as well as to end users in neighboring countries.

#BeLikePoland #EnergyIndependence
Through the pipeline & the Świnoujście LNG port, 🇵🇱 would be able to bring in as much gas as the country currently requires – 17 billion cubic meters a year. As a result, #Poland will not be at mercy of possible blackmail from #Russia.

In 2003 the organizers of 🇨🇭Open gifted @rogerfederer with a 🐮 Julliette. "I'm going to learn how to milk it. I'll do anything for it" #Federer said back in the day. But what happened to the famous Moo thereafter? As a proud Permis B holder for years, let me give you the downlow
Roger #Federer quickly renamed his cow Ganga, and he soon became a proud bovine grandfather as Ganga gave birth to a calf. The calf was named Edelweiss. The duo, however, didn’t stay in the #Federer household for long. Ganga was sold at a livestock auction in Gstaad.
Unfortunately the fame didn't last long and in 2005 because of old age and lack of milk, Roger #Federer’s first cow was slaughtered.

🚂 @PKP_SA celebrates its 96th birthday 🎂🎉 #OTD 26.09 the 🇵🇱 state railways were established.

Here's a little #history🧵on its origins (for all #train buffs & railfans)

#PolishHistory #Poland #History #railway #travel #tourism
Although much of the infrastructure within the borders of newly-independent 🇵🇱 had been destroyed during #WWI, 🇵🇱 was very quick to reestablish its railways. New lines sprang up allowing for economic development and integration.
The railways and their unification was not an easy task as some had to be rebuilt to standardise tracks across the lands of the former partitions. Finance was also a major issue: foreign capital was sought – to little avail.

The adoption of the Act of 23 Sept 1922 on the construction of Gdynia port by 🇵🇱 Parliament is considered the formal beginning of the port of Gdynia. The works on its establishment, however, commenced much earlier... 🧵

#PolishHistory #History #WW2 #Poland #OTD Image
The favourable int'l situation, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles & the restoration of 🇵🇱 access to the sea constituted an incentive for the 🇵🇱 gov to take action. The needs of the 🇵🇱 trade were to be secured by the Free City of Gdańsk, located within the customs area of 🇵🇱 Image
In 1920 there was a conflict regarding the blocking of shipment of arms to 🇵🇱 during war w/🇷🇺, calling 🇵🇱 warships at port. The need to build the own sea port became apparent. In 1920, Kazimierz Porębski appointed Mr Wenda, the engineer to choose the place to build a future port. Image

#OTD, Sept 23, 1939, due to heavy artillery fighting Polish Radio @thenews_PL stopped broadcasting. Before this happened, listeners could listen one last time to a #Chopin concert performed by Władysław Szpilman.

#WWII #WarsawUprising #PolishHistory #History #Poland
Broadcasting the program was no longer possible without electricity from the Powiśle Power Plant. The damage was too extensive to allow for ongoing repairs. The audience had to say goodbye to the radio.
