As the 'oscypek' tastes as good as it looks we won't have to starve. Maybe Sirius passes Zakopane on the way to Krakow and can he bring some.

It's worth it - just to see Tatra Mountains.
BTW: If you plan a bit longer trip Sirius, I can recommend visiting Wieliczka salt mine near Krakow ("the only mining site in the world functioning continuously since the Middle Ages"). Here are some pics from under the ground.

Thanks molossus for the suggestion

Siri, I think your trip has to be extended with another week Poland has so many beautiful places you can add places-to-see as much as you want. I just saw Molossus' link to the minesite and looked at the photogallery. It really seems worth a visit, so maybe I plan a trip there as well. (not necessarily during festival but perhaps during a preparation visit ?)

So true. Last time I visited Poland was during an one week school trip to Warsaw and surroundings.
Although I have to have some vacation days reserved for another trip to L.A. for John Williams in september

Wieliczka is a must see! It's in the UNESCO's List of World Heritage Sites and it's definitely one of the most impressing places in Poland.
And if you are interested there are more Sites of World Heritage not far away from Krakow.
I mean:
1. Dunajec River Gorge (I've been there and recommend - you take the wooden canoe trip to see all the beauty of that area). It's from Tentative UNESCO's List.
2. German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp Auschwitz Birkenau.
3. Wooden Churches of Southern Little Poland.
4. Kalwaria Zebrzydowska
BTW: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraków_Old_Town]Krakow's Centre[/url] is also in the UNESCO's list!
Being in Zakopane would be great to find a time to take a mountain trip or at least have an easy walk into (for example) Dolina Koscieliska (I didn't find info in english) or to go up by cable car to Kasprowy Wierch. One of the most popular places in Polish Tatra Mountains is also Morskie Oko.

Molossus, I only have time for 4 days
It sounds great to visit them all but I'm afraid it has to be another time. But maybe we can visit Poland ahead of the EG.

I agree there will be not much time. The list is just to help you choose one or two places

OK We will let you know asap what the program is going to be.
Looking forward to meet you there.
Gf and I found a flight with Wizzair for only € 34,99 all included (return) So searching for flights can't of any trouble.

The more I read about it in this thread, the more I want to go there!
I'll try to figure out how I can make it possible - just let me now the fixed dates!

Some of us will be there the whole event. But we try at least to be in full strength in the weekend and especially the day of the Lord of the Rings show. Last year it was on the final day. I assume it will be on the final day in 2010 as well, so try to be there on saturday (in case they decide to show it on saturday evening) and sunday.
btw it would be nice if you will be there.
