Herbarium hotel - yummy !!!

It's three hours from Warsaw - going by car - the brand new hotel and spa in Chomiąż Szlachecka (yes, it's real polish name). I found this place when I looked for hotel to spend nice weekend and to rest.
The Herbarium ( is located near Biskupin and Gniezno) - so apart of nice place to spend time and rest you can fine interesting place to visit around. 

Herbarium Hotel










The first place to visit was Biskupin - an archaeological site and a life-size model of an Iron Age fortified settlement in Poland. Surely worth seeing ...

Entrance to Osada Łużycka










In Biskupin you can see very interesting animal farm ...




Next step was Wenecja - yes, Wenecja (Venice) with wonderful Narrow Gauge Railway Museum.












Do you know Leszek Biały (Leszek the White) - Prince of Sandomierz and High Duke of Poland during 1194-1198, 1199, 1206-1210 and 1211-1227. During the early stages of his reign his uncle Duke Mieszko III the Old, and cousin Władysław III Spindleshanks, from the Greater Polish branch of the royal Piast dynasty contested Leszek's right to be High Duke.You can see statue of Leszek in Marcinkowo Górne (near Gąsowa) - it's near a place where Leszek Biały was killed.

I don't know which below picture is the best ;)






On the way back we visited the Gniezno - one of the Piast dynasty's chief cities, it was mentioned by AD 10th century sources, including the Dagome Iudex, as the capital of Piast Poland. The Roman Catholic archbishop of Gniezno is the primate of Poland. 




Definitely I recommend this area to visit - hotel is very nice especially when you can buy special offer like l did ;)
