May weekend in Brzecław

The May weekend in 2015 is not very long, which does not mean that we have to spend it at home. At a distance of about 245 km from Cieszyn, there is the charming Czech city of Břeclav, which is worth visiting at that time.

Brzecław is a great place for a picnic - sounds like an advertisement?

During the trip, you can get acquainted with the cultural landscape abounding in unique places. They are not simply relics of the past, but architectural gems. The area is so attractive that it fully deserves a separate story.
