Roztocze—the familiar landscapes welcomed us again, but with a different rhythm, a quieter hum, the smooth glide of an electric ride. No engine roar, just the road stretching ahead and the anticipation of discovering this region in a way we hadn’t before.

Rolling hills, dense forests, and crystal-clear rivers still defined the journey, but the pace felt different. We followed the winding roads, weaving through villages, where every stop felt intentional—nothing rushed, nothing forced. The stunning Szumy on Tanew waterfalls created their own melody, blending into the peaceful atmosphere.

In Zwierzyniec, we wandered past serene lakes and found the perfect spot to pause, taking in the view with warm tea in hand. Later, exploring Zamość, the symmetry of the Old Town felt almost unreal, a perfect mix of history and precision.

One of the most unexpected highlights was the Roztoczańskie Muzeum PRL in Zamość. Stepping inside felt like traveling back in time, into a world of faded posters, rotary phones, and everyday objects from a different era. The museum, housed in a former residential building, recreated life in the Polish People’s Republic with incredible detail—rooms styled from the 70s and 80s, a replica of a Pewex store, and even a Milicja (citizen’s militia) office. The nostalgia was real, but so was the curiosity, as we explored the exhibits and listened to the voice of legendary narrator Tomasz Knapik guiding us through history.

And as night fell, settling into the cabin after a day of discovery, we knew this trip had its own character. Roztocze was as breathtaking as ever, but this time, it showed us a different side—one that whispered instead of roared.
