Polish Provence :)

Did you know that in Poland we have our own little Provence? :slight_smile: It’s in Ostrow, about 1 hour away from Krakow in the south of Poland. Smell of lavender can make you giddy :slight_smile:

What an interesting fact indeed, @JustynaMad ! Are there many nearby factories producing any goods from lavender?

We have also Lavender Field on the Mazuria Lake District :slight_smile:

That’s a Wow! I did not expect and I think that this definitely is a wonderful photo, @JustynaMad ! What’s the factory production?

It’s not from a factory :slight_smile: It was the community project, where people have try to get money for the Lavender field and Museum from the Crowdfunding website. Marriage of poets build a house and they prepared there Lavender Museum! It’s for free for eveyrone :slight_smile: You can find out more here: https://lawendowepole.pl/lawenda-latem/

Oh, my! What an awesome initiative! Thank you for clarifying on that @JustynaMad :slight_smile: Is it allowed to take pictures at that museum as well?

Sure, you can take a picture there :slight_smile: Inside Museum you can find exposition with process of preparing Lavender perfumes and Lavender oil. Everything is for free because local community helped to create that place :slight_smile:

This sounds exciting, @JustynaMad ! The free museum access is great because knowledge should be accessible for everyone indeed. :slight_smile: Thank you for clarifying on that!

Hello @JustynaMad ,

this I didn’t know, what means never ending learning.

Is this this place here: https://www.google.de/maps/place/32-107+Ostr%C3%B3w,+Polen/@50.2318419,19.8033791,9z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4717b55c0d6436e7:0xe1fe7105c22c571d!8m2!3d50.231815!4d20.3636861 ?

I never have been there, but think to go there once. What time of year the lavender looks such beautiful?

@JustynaMad Amazing photography. Thank you so much for beautiful pictures sharing with us.

@TorM yes, exactly :slightly_smiling_face: it’s about 1 hour by car far away from Cracow. It’s worth to see it during July and entrance cost only 5 PLN :slightly_smiling_face:
