Western Poland (#05): Vang Church
Karpacz (German Krummhübel) is a spa town and ski resort in Jelenia Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, south-western Poland, and one of the most important centres for mountain hiking and skiing. Its population is about 5,000. Karpacz is situated in the Karkonosze mountains - a resort with increasing importance for tourism as an alternative to the Alps. Karpacz is located at 480-885 metres above sea level. South of Karpacz on the border to the Czech Republic there is Mount Snežka-Snieska (1,602 m). In Karpacz Górny there is a Norwegian stave church, moved here from Vang, Norway in the mid-19th century.
Wang Church was built at the turn of 12th century in Vang which accounts for its present name. Vang was a settlement at Lake Vang in southern Norway.
Lake Wang (Vangsmjosi in Norway) set 466 m above sea level surrounded by high mountains where Mount Grindafjellet (1724 m above sea level), their most famous peak used to be a dwelling place for Tindull Grindo, a troll, in the olden days. A circle marks a former site of the Wang church.
About a thousand similar wooden (stave) churches were built there then, yet till the present day only thirty one such churches survived in Norway, and this one in Karpacz Górny. Our Twin Parish in Hahnenklee, Germany, has also a wooden church built in 1908 according to the Norwegian designs.
In the nineteenth century Wang Church proved too small and in need of costly renovation, and so a decision to sell it was made. The money was needed to pay back a loan taken for the construction of a new one.
Thanks to the efforts of a Dresden-based Norwegian painter, Professor John Christian Dahl, this great architectural experience of the Vikings was bought for the sum of 427 marks by the then king, Frederick William IV. A royal architect completed the working plan of the church building, and the edifice was taken to pieces so as to be shipped, in boxes, to Szczecin in 1841 and from there - to the Royal Museum in Berlin. The King, however, had abandoned the idea of having it reerected on the Peacock Island near Berlin and started seeking another site for the church to render its religious services.

Romania (#15): Wooden Churches, Ieud Deal
Ieud ... along the Ieud River, 40 kilometers from Vadu-Izei, is the ancient and beautiful village of Ieud. Archaeological discoveries show this village dates back to the Bronze Age. Ieud also has two distinctive wooden churches which have been declared historical and architectural monuments.
The first one is 'The Birth of Virgin Mary ' Church on the hill, built in 1364 and it is the oldest church in Maramures. It is built from pine and fir wood with small windows, double roof and a single, impressive steeple. The paintings are original, dating from the 15th -16th century and their condition is relatively good. The church also has a collection of glass painted icons. Inside, the stairs to the tower are carved in one piece of wood. 'Zbornicul' or ' The Book of Laws' was discovered in the attic, unique in the country and the oldest manuscript in the Romanian language printed in 1543 in Brasov. The church was closed for visitation.
Ieud is known for the preservation of its traditional customs as well as its traditional architecture. The people here dress and act the same as they did hundreds of years ago. Every year in July the people of Ieud celebrate with a multi-day festival of traditional culture called Ieud Cultural Days. Ieud is the place where a divorce and abortion has never been recorded.
KOPERNIK I TORUŃSKI PIERNIK
O tym jak rajcy dzwon odlali. Kto smyknął wskazówkę? O krzyżackich uczynkach jak wieża krzywych. Dlaczego Kopernik dla Torunia zbyt małym był? O pół Szwedzie, pół Niemcu, który słownik polskiego napisał.

WITCH MOUNTAIN KYIV KIEV (Bald Mountain, Castle Mountain, Zamkova Gova, Lysa Gora)
Went up to Bald Mountain in Kyiv - a site known for being the gathering place of witches, pagan rituals and other creepy-crawly stuff for the past couple centuries. Most recently, it has been the place of black masses for Ukraine's satanic sects. Much thanks to my friends for their acting debut in the mini-film that introduces it - I'll be adding a couple more scenes in the other Paranormal Kyiv sites that I'll record and probably do a master-cut at the end.
