Skiing in Krkonoše, Czech Republic
3 Recommendations: 3 Favorable,
There are a variety of places to ski in Czech, and they are much less money, and generally less crowds than the Austrian and Swiss Alpine resorts. Of course they are not as big, but you can still have a nice little trip an hour or two from Prague, specifically in Dešné v Orlických horách. A cottage can be rented quite inexpensively or hotel rooms are usually availible with little notice. Lift tickets are around $15 per half and $30 per full day.

Piekny Pies
3 Recommendations: 3 Favorable,
You won't see this club's advertisements or billboards or not even every Cracovian will recognise the name (which in translation means 'beautiful dog'). This place was created by an artist for other bohemian artists entourage, never meant to be a typical public bar, yet its marvellous, unique atmosphere makes it full of people almost every time of day (and especially night). Open till the last customer (which practically means, open all-day-long) offers a bar and lounge upstairs and mostly funk & soul music and dancefloor downstairs. Bearing in mind the price of a vodka shot (about 1 dollar) you shall consider a massive hangover the next day. but definitely worth it.

The Liban Quarry
2 Recommendations: 2 Favorable,
One of the most forgotten places in Krakow but still living its own life. the Liban Quarry should first and foremost be a place of remembrance for the victims of the Nazi labour camp that operated here during Kraków's WWII occupation. Incredible limestone cliffs, ponds and dense vegetation are as breath-taking as the rusting refinery equipment, fenceposts, gravestones and tangles of barbed wire that can still be found amongst the brush here. The limestone company 'Liban and Ehrenpreis,' run by two well-known Jewish industrial families from Podgórze, established a quarry here in 1873. By the end of the 19th century a complex of buildings was established within the quarry and a railway line laid as the families enjoyed an excellent reputation locally and abroad. However, during Nazi occupation, Liban was set-up as a cruel penal camp where 800 young Poles were kept prisoner from 1942 to 1944 performing forced labour. In 1993 Steven Spielberg used Liban as the set of all the scenes from Schindler's List that take place in the Płaszów concentration camp. Not wanting to use the nearby site of the camp itself out of respect, it must have taken little imagination on his part to settle upon Liban. During filming 34 barracks and watchtowers were set-up around the quarry, and though most of the set was subsequently removed, some traces remain confusingly mixed with the genuine historical leftovers from the war, making it unclear just how uncomfortable you should feel as you walk amongst the many gallows-like fenceposts strung with barbed wire and rusty machinery. Certainly, the most disturbing site is the central pathway paved with Jewish headstones, which we can put you at ease by assuring you is not genuine. An incredibly evocative, yet peaceful and beautiful site, Liban allows you to explore Kraków's World War II history on your own terms, interpreting it as you like without the hand-holding of history books or tourist bureaus... Directions: Enter the quarry at your own risk by following a trail from Krak's Mound toward Podgórze cemetery along the rim of and into the quarry, or try your luck from ul. Za Torem

Kino Pionier
2 Recommendations: 2 Favorable,
It is a totally not commercial cinema, everybody in Szczecin goes above all to Multikino Cinema, which is a really big place for watching movies, but they display only commercial productions. In Pionier you can watch underground movies, ambicious movies, that are hard to get at all and that speaks about imprortant things. Farther, you can sit there in a very small room, there are two. In the one of them, under the ground you can drink tea or wine while watching movie! More, you wll see a real film stock (reel) and how it works! The sound-you will never forget it!

Svidnik
2 Recommendations: 2 Favorable,
This is a WW1 / 2 military museum. The museum itself marked here on the map is small but very interesting. The greatest thing about the museum is that it has an 'outside section' which extends from Svdink to the Polish Border at Vysna Polianka. At the border there is a lookout tower from where you can see around the Dukla Pass where the Russians first broke through the German lines in WW2. There are Tanks and Planes and Guns in the fields where you can touch and feel (and climb if you are a kid!) .. these are positioned in some of the actual battle sites. There are also 'Bunkers' which were sniper points. Very exiting stuff for the kids and the likes of which you won't find in the UK. All in all a top place and a full day out if you want it to be. There is also the Ruthenian-Ukranian Cultural Museum in Svidnik, as well as one of the best Skanzens in Slovakia... this is an old village made from real reconstructed original buildings so you can get a feel of the real life of a traditional Slavic village of pld.
