Słowiński National Park, Pomerania, Poland, Europe
Słowiński National Park is a national park in Pomeranian Voivodeship, northern Poland. It is situated on the Baltic coast, between Łeba and Rowy. The northern boundary of the park consists of 32.5 kilometres (20.2 mi) of coastline. The original idea of creating a preserve here came out in 1946, at a conference in Łeba with scientists from Poznań and Gdańsk. The park, however, was created 21 years later, in 1967, on an area of 180.69 km2 (69.76 sq mi). Today it is slightly larger, covering 186.18 km2 (71.88 sq mi), of which 102.13 km2 (39.43 sq mi) consists of waters and 45.99 km2 (17.76 sq mi) of forests. The strictly preserved zone covers 56.19 km2 (21.70 sq mi). In 1977 UNESCO designated the park a biosphere reserve under its Programme on Man and the Biosphere (MaB). The Słowiński wetlands were designated a Ramsar site in 1995. The park is named after the Slavic (later Germanized) people known as the Slovincians (Polish: Słowińcy), who used to live in this swampy, inaccessible area at the edge of Lake Leba. In the village of Kluki there is an open-air museum presenting aspects of this people's former life and culture. In the past, the park's area was a Baltic Sea bay. The sea's activity, however, created sand dunes which in the course of time separated the bay from the Baltic Sea. As waves and wind carry sand inland the dunes slowly move, at a speed of 3 to 10 metres per year. Some dunes are quite high - up to 30 metres. The highest peak of the park – Rowokol (115 metres (377 ft) above sea level) – is also an excellent observation point. The moving dunes are regarded as a curiosity of nature on a European scale. Waters, which occupy 55% of park's area, are made up of lakes - Łebsko (71.40 km2 (27.57 sq mi), maximum depth 6.3 m (21 ft)), Gardno (24.68 km2 (9.53 sq mi), maximum depth 2.6 m (8.5 ft)) and Dolgie Wielkie (1.46 km2 (0.56 sq mi), maximum depth 2.9 m (9.5 ft)). Both Lebsko and Gardno lakes were previously bays. There are also seven rivers crossing the park, the largest being the Łeba and the Łupawa. Forests in the park are mainly made of pines. These trees cover 80% of wooded areas, there are also peat bogs of several types. Of animals, the most numerous are birds with 257 species. This is because the park is located on the paths of migrating birds. They feel safe here because human activities are limited. The most interesting species are: erne, eagle owl, crow, swan and various kinds of ducks. Among the mammals, there are deer, wild pigs and hares. There are around 140 kilometres (87 mi) of tourist walking trails. Beside the lakes are observation towers and along the trails one can find benches and resting places. Around the park there are many parking sites as well as hotels and camp sites, especially in Łeba.

Where were the first shots of WW2 fired?
History books will tell you that the first shots were fired at 04:45 in the morning of 1 September 1939 on the Polish military base at Westerplatte at the mouth of the Vistula River next to the Free State of Gdańśk. The shots were fired by the battleship the Schleswig Holstein which had visited the Free State a few days earlier on a courtesy visit and when the war did not start as planned on 26 August 1939, extended its visit.
However two other places also claim to be the location of the outbreak of war. The first is the town of Wieluń which is located close to the then Polish – German border. The town was largely destroyed in three or more bombing raids, this first of which is said to have preceded the Schleswig Holstein opening fire however this is not borne out by documentary evidence. The first wave of bombers took off at 05:02 – some seventeen minutes after the Westerplatte came under fire and around thirty minutes or so before the first bombs fell on the town.
A town with a better claim is Tczew – Dirschau in German, one of the few places where Poland was to the west of Germany. The then eighty year old bridge, once I believe the longest in the world, was then a border bridge. Due to the clear signs of aggression coming from Nazi Germany, Polish sappers prepared it for demolition on their side of the border – this was in full view of the German side. As a result, this was a prime target immediately on the outbreak of hostilities and it would appear that the bombardment against the Polish positions began at 04:34 together with an attempt to infiltrate using German soldiers on trains but it did not stop the bridge from being blown up on the Polish side of the Vistula river. So it is more likely the first shots were fired at Tczew – assuming of course that the clocks were telling the correct time.
I am going to suggest another location.
You may think that WW2 began with the Japanese aggression against China, the Italian attack on Abyssinia or maybe the Spanish Civil War or perhaps with the alleged attack on the radio station at Gliwice – Gleiwitz.
Hitler originally intended to invade Poland at 04:25 on 26 August 1939. However, when he found out that the UK had promised support if Poland was attacked, he cancelled the false flag and commando operations which were planned. One of these commando groups – or terrorists – which is probably the correct word in these circumstances – was to capture the the tunnel and railway station at Mosty in the Jabłonków Pass in the Carpathians which was strategically important then as being the an important transport route and the shortest connection between Warsaw and Vienna.
This area of Czechoslovakia had been occupied by Poland in October 1938. In the summer of 1939 by which time the danger from Nazi Germany was apparent, the tunnel had been prepared for demolition.
All of the terrorist attacks by Nazi Germany which had been planned for the early hours of 26 August were recalled except for one. Word did not reach those terrorists about to attack the tunnel and railway station. The attack went ahead as planned with the railway station falling into the hands of the terrorists but thanks to the bravery of a female telephonist, the alarm was raised and the tunnel was not captured. The Germans were counter attacked, the station was recaptured and by the mid day they had scattered.
Very quickly on learning what had happened, the commander of the German Seventh Infantry Division Generalmajor Eugen Ott apologised to his opposite number General Józef Kustroń, commander of the Polish 21st Mountain Infantry Division. Ott claimed, somewhat disingenuously given the amount of terrorists involved that the commander had gone mad and had decided to attack by himself.
As it happened, the tunnel at Jabłonków was blown up at around 06:00 on 1 September 1939 within sight of the approaching German troops. It was back in service five months later so could not be used during the Polish campaign.
After WW2 Jabłonków was returned to Czechoslovakia.

JOHNSTOWN CASTLE
The harmony between great Victorian revival castles and their surrounding ornamental grounds is rarely seen to such perfection
as at Johnstown Castle.
The mature woodlands and lakes of this demesne provide the perfect setting for this turreted, battlemented and machicolated
castle of gleaming silver-grey ashlar, built for the Grogan Morgan family between 1810 and 1855 and incorporating part of
a more ancient castle.
The property was presented as a gift to the Irish Nation in 1945 and was later occupied by the Department of Agriculture who
established an agricultural institute here and undertook to maintain but not to alter the ornamental grounds.
The Kilkenny architect Daniel Robertson, who was responsible for some of the building work on the castle, is generally believed to have laid out and planted much of the grounds in the 1830s. This would have included the digging of the five-acre lake opposite the castle with Gothic towers rising from its waters and a terrace lined with statues on the opposite bank. Many fine trees and shrubs grow in the vicinity of the castle, including two lovely examples of Cryptomeria japonica 'Elegans', several very fine redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), a huge Rhododendron arboreum and some of the oldest and largest specimens of Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) in Ireland.
The variety of mixed planting around the lake, which includes noble firs, Japanese cedars,Atlantic blue cedars, copper beeches, golden Lawson cypresses and holm oaks, provides a very satisfying range of colour through much of the year. In the area to the west of the castle lake, visitors will pass through a woodland garden created around the ruined medieval castle of Rathlannon.
Here the exotic foliage of a Magnolia wilsonii from China borders a large, elegant dogwood (Cornuskousa) from Japan and a Japanese snowball (Viburnum plicatum) with tiered spreading branches. Nearby lies a two-acre lake dug in the 1860s, while in the area to the north is a four-acre walled garden built between 1844 and 1851 and rehabilitated by the Department of Agriculture.
This is entered through the Devil's Gate, an arched gateway with gargoyles that leads onto a very long gravel path lined with flower borders and backed by clipped hedges. To the tight across mowed lawns a long hothouse shelters a colourful display of plants through out the year. Steps lead to the Upper Garden, now largely devoted to shrub propagation, and the old melon yard.
Here no one will fail to admire a tender dwarf Japanese maple planted in the 1880s and a range of azaleas, magnolias and hibiscus.
Other attractions at Johnstown include a cemetery with very fine wrought-iron gates made in Italy, the site of the sunken Italian Garden close to the car park, and the lower lake, dug in the 1850s and covering some fourteen acres.
All three lakes in the demesne provide a home for a wide range of waterfowl - mute swans, moorhens, coots, little grebes, herons and a recently introduced flock of mallards - all of which help to control the waterweeds.
The attractive early nineteenth century farm buildings to the north of the lower lake house the Irish Agricultural Museum where a variety of old horticultural implements are on display.
