A place in my century wich i really like
Niedzica is a small village in Góry Pienińskie in southern Poland. Last spring me and my friends decided to go there for a weekend, to rest and to see beautiful landscapes. Niedzica is well known for the Dunajec dam, which was built a few years ago, and for its castle. Also the closeness to Slovakia and great ski runs make Niedzica a wonderfull place to visit. We stayed at a small hostel near Niedzica. The weather was great all the time. The sun shone brightly, the wind blew gently and the trees bloomed. The water in the lake glittered and spurred to bathe. However, it was too cold. On the first day in Niedzica we wandered in the mountains. We hiked Trzy Korony Mountain and admired glamourous views. We also saw a breakthrough of the Dunajec River. On the second day we decided to visit the mysterious castle in Niedzica. It was built in XIV century by the Hungarian house of Berzevichy. It changed its owner four times. The most interesting thing about the castle is the legend about a hidden treasure. We wanted to learn something about it, so we asked an old man, who worked there, to tell us the story. As we went for a meeting with him, we saw a road sign with a ghost on it. Our guide told us, that it warned against the meeting with the white lady, who scares every night in the castle. He told us the whole story. Long ago the owner of the castle Sebastian Berzevichy went to South America. He settled in Peru and married an Indian woman. His wife gave birth to a daughter, whom they called Umina. She married a descendant of Inkas royal family, who kept the family treasure. When the war with the Spanish broke out, Sebastian's family moved to Europe, to Venice and next to Niedzica. One day someone murdered Umina in front of the castle's chapel. Her ghost began to appear every night. Sebastian hid the treasure in the castle or its neighbourhood and forbade to search it. In 1946 a document, which is the key to solve the puzzle was found, but till today no one has decode it. We listened to the story with interest. In the evening we still talked about the legend.
Our visit to Niedzica was a very interesting experience. We felt completely relaxed when we arrived home. You really ought to visit Niedzica as it offers entertainment for everyone.
