Carpathian Troy

Exactly in one week, our guests participating in October Galicia Tour, will be visiting Carpathian Troy in Trzcinica.

This is an example that the history of southern Poland is much longer than we can expect. One of the earliest strongly fortified settlements known in Poland, dated to the beginnings of the Bronze Age, has been discovered in Trzcinica, in Podkarpacie region.

It was built as early as over 4000 years ago! The settlement have been located on the steep hill dominating over the Ropa river valley. This isolation and inaccessibility of the terrain protected the settlements from damage. Even today some walls which remained are 10 meters high (33 feet)!

If you are interested in suggestions for future tours I am most interested in the Borderlands. Specifically I would like to see Lwow, Tarnopol, and Buczacz. If you ever offered a tour that included these destinations I would jump at the chance to go. My research hasn't yet led to any locations within present-day Poland.

Have your ancestors come from Galicia? From which village or town? Maybe during our tour you will be able to give you directions about your search... For sure we will try to bring closer to you the ambiance of this region in past years.

This is why we started our historical tour route from this area of the old Poland - Galicia. There was so big wave of emigration from the old Austrian partition of Poland at the breakthrough of 19th century and we know how many of you, descendants of these brave people, would like to learn more about their lives here at that time.

Sure, we are going to offer the Galicia Tour next year. We hope to learn a lot from this year tours to improve your experience. You may be sure we will share pictures, videos and stories from this year Galicia Tour adventures on our Blog: http://blog.polishorigins.com/ , Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PolishOrigins and of course here, in Forum.

For the next year besides Galicia Tour, our flagship Genealogy Tours: http://polishorigins.com/document/genealogy_tours and Family & Friends Tours: http://polishorigins.com/document/family_and_friends we are planning to design at least one more historical tour to other regions of Poland. Your suggestions and proposals of which specific ares and places we should cover are welcomed

Best Regards from Galicia where I am on short vacation with my family .
