This spring, journalist James Stewart joined us cycling in Lower Silesia, an area he describes as ‘Poland’s most underrated region’. In his wonderful article for The Times, he writes about his slow cycle through a ‘forgotten fairytale’. Here’s an excerpt.
“Lanes carry the bend and droop of older, pre-mechanised journeys. Villages pass in a blur of half-timbering and crumbling plaster. Barley hills have the silver-green sheen of satin in the sunshine. A white church spire with an onion dome stands on a hill that’s yellow with oilseed rape. Occasionally there’s a passing car. Usually there isn’t.
The scenery isn’t dramatic or shouty. It’s quiet, slyly seductive; a storybook place where minding-their-own-business hills shelter quiet villages.”
