A Sandwich in Szczyrk

- I wish I'd taken the right cables with me, but then this video would have become a real monster... it's pretty long as it is. But this is it: my first mountain walking experience around Szczyrk, Poland. And what fun I had!
Beautiful.
It's a bit far but I strongly recommend Bieszczady. Similar mountains but i think there are more Polish songs about Bieszczady than there are about Pieniny;)
The region is a lot poorer but it makes it more wild and rustic (once you get away from the tourist resorts). Kult America (an American expat in Poland) did a translation for a song by the name "Moje Bieszczady" by KSU. There is also a great song by Wojciech Młynarski "Po prostu wyjedź w Bieszczady" (Just ran away to Bieszczady).
Also correct on the mushroom, toadstool or muchomor in Polish. The name translates into fly-death from Polish.
The thrill of the chase fires you with enthusiasm.
Mazury Garbate - well worth a wander around, too, in due course.
Looks like great fun. I’m jealous!
I can’t believe how very crowded the trails were : )
You were really lucky with the weather 🙂
"In Praise of Walking: A New Scientific Exploration", O'Mara Shane. - recommended.
By the by, weather doesn't enter into this. Even on a gloomy November day you shouldn't shy away from taking a wander in the mountains, through the fields, into/in the woods, around the city (at night too) ... might give you a thrill and recharge your batteries better than lounging about. Btw, I’d venture a guess that lovely May and gloomy November are the best months to run across the Polish Soul out in the open (pun intended).
Here you are, "Listopady" ("Novembers") by Władysław Broniewski, a piece of the Polish soul.
In regards to the walking times shown on the signes - the climbing times and descending times differ. So it can show in Szczyrk that you need 2 hours to climb a mountain, but when you on the mountain and check how long will it take to go back to Szczyrk, same path can be shown as 40 minutes. It's shown this way in the maps as well, you always have to consider the arrows next to the times. Little trivia 😉
That's true, yes - but I find it often takes me as long to go down the hill as it does to go up - my knees start to complain very quickly!
@@CloselyObservedWorld That's the reality check then 😉 My comment is only to explain the signes, they can be a bit confusing, if the logic behind them is unknown.
I would to get. So you to take the Masz a due to Klimczok. From the chata na groniu upstars. Afyrr You should take a Film over the Bielsko overlift.
What the hell ill just translate them for you:
KSU "Moje Biesczady" (My Bieszczady)
Mountains to the sky
and a scream of verdancy
field road among flowers
and a broken cross
Stream hidden in shade
and an overgrown orchard
old orthodox church under a larch
and a broken bell
Overgrown cemetery
in it wild elderberries
how many tears, how much pain
how much human blood
Moon over Otryt
sky full of stars
grey dromouses dance around
San lulls us to sleep
That's how they are
That's my Bieszczady
That's how they are
That's my Bieszczady
Overgrown with Alder
fields of an old village
who had plowed them, who has sown them
nobody remembers
Dead spruces creak
That's a wooden cry
The world ends in Sokoliki
Further only forest
Wire on the borders
divides nations two
a wall of hatred divides
and terrifies me
San is so shallow
On Beniowa shore
divides people, divides thoughts
terrible is it's wrath
That's how they are
That's my Bieszczady
That's how they are
That's my Bieszczady
i'll do the other one if you read this;)
Thank you for taking the time to share that. Some pretty powerful lyrics there - definitely food for thought!
@@CloselyObservedWorld I suggest listening with music. Its available on YT by "Moje Biesczady".
The Kult America version has nice footage from those mountains in the video. Basically it can serve as a teaser presentation for them.
And if you know the song you will be able to impress your 30-40 year old Polish friends;)
Nice channel. Keep it going that way if u like it :)
No more book reviews ?.
Maybe soon... time is the issue, as I'm sure you can imagine...
@@CloselyObservedWorld yea mate I sure can. I ask because a enjoy your book recommendations some hidden gems. But also enjoy seeing you're adopted country, some lovely sights. 👍
