Western Poland (#09): Klodzko, Bear Cave
Kletno (German: Klessengrund) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Stronie Slaskie, within Klodzko County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) east of Stronie Slaskie, 34 kilometres (21 mi) south-east of Klodzko, and 97 kilometres (60 mi) south of the regional capital Wroclaw.
The discovery of the Cave Bear ... October 1966, in a quarry called Kletno III, a hole was uncovered in the shape of a horizontal slot. This hole exposed a small chamber called the Hall of Bear. Encased in the mud, protruded a number of bones of large mammals. Most were cave bear bones. Part of this room survived to this day, and is visible in the entrance to the Cave. Towards the end of 1966, more were corridors discovered of the middle floor of the cave, with the result that the length of the cave has already reached 200 m. In subsequent years, intensive research was carried out. However, no conclusive evidence of the presence of Palaeolithic man in this cave.

Poznan is a city on the river in west-central Poland, with a population of 551,627 in the end of 2010, the city with its suburbs form the largest metropolitan area in western Poland. Poznań is among the oldest cities in Poland, and was one of the most important centres in the early Polish state, whose first rulers were buried at Poznań's cathedral. It is claimed to be the first capital of the kingdom of Poland. Poznań is now Poland's fifth largest city. It is the historical capital of the Wielkopolska region, and is currently the administrative capital of the province called Greater Poland Voivodeship.
Poznań is today one of the largest Polish centers of trade, industry, sports, education, tourism and culture. More recently it also claims to be an important design center as a number of initiatives were undertaken: Concordia Design, Poznan School of Form, Art&Fashion Festival to mention only a few. Poznań is also becoming a know-how hub with many technological parks and transfer of knowledge centers (the oldest one started in 1995 is Poznan Science and Technology Park.
Poznań was one of the host cities for the association football tournament UEFA Euro 2012. The city also hosts a number of rowing world cup events by the Malta lake (for example ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in 1990, 2001, and again in 2010). Also, a great number of various international festivals takes place in the city - Transatlantyk -- Poznań International Film and Music Festival, Malta International Theater Festival and Maski Festival to name just a few.
In 2012 the Poznan's Art and Business Center Old Brewery (Stary Browar) won a competition organized by National Geographic Traveler and was given the first prize as one of the seven New Polish Wonders. Poznań has been placed at high positions (very often the first one in Poland) in many ratings as a city with a very high quality of life. The city has also won many times a prize awarded by Superbrands for a very high quality brand of city of Poznań (city as a brand).
Poznan along with two other Polish cities Wrocław and Kraków were classified in 2010 as high sufficiency cities by Globalization and World Cities Research Network and thus they all have a chance to become global cities in a near future given their fast development pace.

EU07 is the name for a Polish electric locomotive in service of the Polish railway operator PKP. This locomotive was designed as a mixed traffic locomotive, and as such is used both in freight and passenger traffic.
The EU07 is strongly connected with the EU06 locomotive. The EU06 was a British derivative of the Class 83 locomotive built for the Polish system. In 1959 an agreement was signed with the producer of the EU06, English Electric, under which Poland bought the license for the EU06 and started its production in Pafawag Wrocław, under build number 4E. The first item was finished in 1965, and by 1974 a total number of 240 locomotives had been built. The EU07 locomotives only differed slightly from EU06 thanks to some minor improvements that had been made with comparison to their predecessors.
In 1983 the production of EU07 locomotives was re-opened in Cegielski works in Poznań. This new series of locomotives was based on ET41 freight locomotive (which had been built by joining two EU07 locomotives of first run production). Bringing several modifications production number changed to 303E. A total number of 243 items were built and the production continued until 1994 despite this engine was out of date then.

Prague - Czech Republic - Прага - Чехия - Praga Czechy (2)
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. It is the 15th largest city in the European Union. It is also the historical capital of Bohemia. Situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava river, the city is home to about 1.26 million people, while its larger urban zone is estimated to have a population of nearly 2 million. The city has a temperate climate, with warm summers and chilly winters.
Prague has been a political, cultural, and economic centre of central Europe with waxing and waning fortunes during its history. Founded during the Romanesque and flourishing by the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque eras, Prague was the capital of the kingdom of Bohemia and the main residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably of Charles IV (r. 1346–1378).[8] It was an important city to the Habsburg Monarchy and its Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years' War, and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia, during both World Wars and the post-war Communist era.
Prague is home to a number of famous cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of 20th-century Europe. Main attractions include the Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with the Prague astronomical clock, the Jewish Quarter, Petřín hill and Vyšehrad. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
The city boasts more than ten major museums, along with numerous theatres, galleries, cinemas, and other historical exhibits. An extensive modern public transportation system connects the city. Also, it is home to a wide range of public and private schools, including Charles University in Prague, the oldest university in Central Europe.
Prague is classified as an Alpha- global city according to GaWC studies. Prague ranked sixth in the Tripadvisor world list of best destinations in 2016. Its rich history makes it a popular tourist destination, and the city receives more than 6.4 million international visitors annually, as of 2014. Prague is the fifth most visited European city after London, Paris, Istanbul and Rome.

Praga stolica i największe miasto Czech, położone w środkowej części kraju, nad Wełtawą.
Praga jest ośrodkiem administracyjnym, przemysłowym, handlowo-usługowym, akademickim, turystycznym i kulturalnym o znaczeniu międzynarodowym. Jest siedzibą większości czeskich urzędów centralnych (w tym parlamentu, prezydenta i rządu), związków wyznaniowych działających na terenie Czech, a także licznych firm, stowarzyszeń, organizacji i uczelni. Stanowi najważniejszy w skali kraju węzeł drogowy i kolejowy, posiada również międzynarodowy port lotniczy i sieć metra.
Dzisiejsza Praga powstała w 1784 r. z połączenia pięciu wcześniej samodzielnych, lecz powiązanych ze sobą organizmów, których początki sięgają średniowiecza: Starego Miasta, Nowego Miasta, Josefova, Małej Strany i Hradczan – siedziby władców czeskich. Od 1992 r. zabytkowe centrum miasta znajduje się liście światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO. Ze względu na bogactwo atrakcji, należy do najchętniej odwiedzanych miast Europy.
Według tradycji oryginalna czeska nazwa miasta Praha pochodzi od czeskiego słowa práh – próg i jest związana z księżniczką Libusz. Etymologia nazwy miasta zbudowanego nad progiem lub jazem – rzecznym brodem pochodzi od historycznej nazwy przeprawy przez Wełtawę w okolicy dzisiejszego Mostu Karola.
Według danych z 2008 r. liczba ludności miasta wynosi 1 226 697 osób (1. miejsce w Czechach), natomiast powierzchnia – 496 km² (również 1 miejsce w Czechach). Praga oficjalnie podzielona jest na dziesięć obwodów, które z kolei dzielą się na dzielnice. Obszar metropolitalny Pragi liczy, według danych Eurostatu z 2004 r., 1 964 750 mieszkańców. Wikipedia
