Festival in Boleslawiec, Poland

BOLESLAWIEC'S POTTERY FESTIVAL will take place the last week of August, 2005. If you can make it to Boleslawiec, Poland you can view new forms, patterns, decorate your own pottery, etc. This a very fun event!

We have info on hotels if you need it.

Check discount airfares from perhaps the US to Frankfurt or Cologne/Bonn. There is a train station in Boleslawiec if you want to take the rail over, or there may be a discount airline carrier now to get you directly into a city near Boleslawiec. visit.pl or travelpoland.com may be of value to you.

While searching on the web for travel info to Boleslawiec, I came across this site with lots of Polish recipes. http://newpoland.com/recipes.htm Yum! There are recipes for main courses, soups, desserts, everything!

Want to go to Poland with us?

We are beginning to plan a trip to Poland either for the pottery festival at the end of August or in September. Airfare / room rates will be less in September so that is our preference, but we are flexible. We will likely be leaving from Dulles airport in Northern VA, or BWI in Baltimore to get the lowest airfare. Would you like to join us?

If we have several people interested, we can set up a group tour and negotiate some discounts. We will try to make arrangements with one of the factories in Boleslawiec to ship your pottery purchases over to VA with my next container-load (in the Fall).

Please post a reply if you are interested and state a preference for month (Aug or Sept), and level of cost for the trip (i.e. budget or a bit more deluxe). We envision staying at the restored castle outside Boleslawiec which usually costs about 60 Euro per person per night. Of course, we are flexible about that also. And, would you like to include a trip to Prague for a couple of nights? It's not that far!
