My host family lives in
the little spa town Kudowa Zdrój. My host family doesn’t live in a normal
house, but in a hotel that they own.
I was very surprised
when I saw the big house and the large garden. It was very comfortable, I had
my own room, a very kind family, internet and above all a pool table downstairs,
which my host brother used often.
On my first day my host
father and my host brother took me on a walk to the park in the city centre. They
showed me the park, the springs, and the big lake. The lake in the park was full
of fish, which we fed with bread.
Kudowa Zdrój is famous
for its good air and special water that is rich in iron and helpful for some diseases.
As a matter of fact many people visit the town: My host brother told me that
every summer thousands of tourists visit the little spa town to drink the
healthy water that tastes like iron.
Therefore, the hotel of
my host family isn't the only hotel in Kudowa Zdroj. There are pensions and
other hotels making tourism the most profitable branch of the town.
All in all I enjoyed a
lot to stay with my host family. It was very interesting to see how they treat
their hotel guests, who I felt to belong to, too. They always asked if I was
hungry or if I wanted something from the supermarket. My host brother told me
that guests in Poland would be treated very well.
In the greater area there are more tourist attractions. So, the participants
of the ‘’Comenius Project’’ took a tour of the fortress of Klodzko, which has
never been conquered. Our guide also told us how the people lived in Poland
hundreds of years ago. Above all, the fortress is famous for its underground
tunnel system. The tunnels are unique in Poland and very interesting. It was a
shame that most of the teachers didn’t want to enter the narrow tunnels. One
hour later we left the tunnels, impressed by this big underground building.
After the exciting tour through Polish history we left and all participants
went back to their families.
