About Nursery No 5
Dear colleagues!
We live in Poland in a town called Głogów.
/Walk trought Glogow /
Głogów is situated on the middle Odra, in a Głogów’s proglacial stream valley. There are 74 thousand people living here and it is one of the bigger cities in the Copper Basin, next to Legnica and Lubin.
In a distance of 100 – 130 km there are Wrocław and Poznań agglomerations to be found and national borders with the Czech Republik and Germany. It is even closer to the big touristic regions –Lubuskie and Leszczyńskie lake districts in the north and Sudety in the south. Głogów is one of the oldest towns in Poland. Its existence it owes to the defensive positioning between the 2 rivers – Odra and Barycz.
