Another postcard from memories box, i’ts because few days ago I visited my parents house, where lots of my stuff is still hidden in the attic. So I went to that gloomy, dark attic just to recall the good old days and during this, I found some old postcards.

I was in Zgon in 2006 I think but I’m not sure. It was  bicycle and canoe camp. Every night we slept on a different camping pitch in another town or village. In Zgon they had free advertising postcards so I took one to my memories box. I know I am quite sentimental :)
Description on the front of the postcard says “Zgon on the shore of Lake Mokre”.

 Zgon is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Piecki, within Mrągowo County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. The village has population of only 150!

It’s another postcard from my private collection. I’m not sure how did I get it but I think that I bought it when my father took me on holiday to Żywiec in 2007. It’s one more souvenir from my memories box. I still remember that we stayed in Mega hotel, which is located on the shore of Lake Zywieckie so sight was stunning!

The range of the Beskid Zywiecki Mountains stretches between the valleys of the Sola River and the Skawa River. It borders on the Small Beskid and Beskid Makowski Mountains. After the Tatra Mountains, this is the highest range of Carpathian Mountains in Poland, with plants at different levels that are typical for high mountains. The highest peak is Babia Gora (1725 m).

Apart from its ecological importance, the region is great for recreational pursuits, open for anyone and including many hiking trails, skiing facilities and many other attractions. The best starting point to explore the Beskid Zywiecki is Zywiec, while other popular to visit villages and towns are Korbielow, Zawoja, Zwardon and Sucha Beskidzka (on the border with the Beskid Makowski).

Unwritten and unstamped.

From my private collection. Honestly, I don’t remeber how I got it. I guess i bought it in museum when i was at trip in elementary school. It shows Christmas Crib from collection of The Ethnographic Museum in Cracow, Poland Handmade by Andrzej Morański in 1993. I think it’s delicate masterpiece. Beautiful!
