Wenecja

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wenecja (Polish Venice) is a small village approximately 5 km south of Żnin in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodship (Kujawsko-Pomorskie) in Poland. Its picturesque location among three lakes (Biskupinskie, Weneckie, Skrzynka) resulted in its name alluding to the location of Italian Venice. The village, called "the pearl of Pałuki", is one of the greatest tourist attractions in the Pałuki region. Wenecja is located on the line of the narrow gauge railway running from the town of Żnin to famous Biskupin and further on to Gąsawa. The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum and the ruins of the 14th century castle attract thousands of tourists to this beautiful Pałuki village.
