The fifth largest city in Poland and capital of the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship inspires tram fans with an extremely diverse fleet of vehicles. Eight different types from seven decades and three countries are in use here: a few remaining Duewag GT8s (nicknamed "Helmut") from Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, the Polish classics Konstal 105Na ("Aquarium"), Tatra RT6, Siemens Combino, Solaris Tramino and three Models from the Poznań-based manufacturer Modertrans, a subsidiary of the transport company.
Also in the video: the most important sights of the city, including the old market, the castle and the cathedral.

Hmmm! I can't help but notice how Western the old Polish uniforms look. Some almost like a modernised version of WW2-era battledress, a lot of berets (worn the British way of the period!). Uniform-wise, it partially reeembled a NATO army, only no Mk.IV or M1 helmets. I think that the Polish communist authorities tried to make a silent statement to the Soviets when those uniforms were introduced (much like the GDR did with their uniforms btw)...

The museum in Biskupin traces back to the 1930s when the water lever of nearby lake went down and revealed wooden palisade of as it turnt out later ancient city, leading to significant excavations(local residents started to find relics from the Bronze Age and the early Iron Age - about the 14th century B.C. till the 5th century B.C.).





The settlement covered 2 hectares, housed 800-1000 people, and featured a 6-meter-high wooden rampart with 13 long houses(105 "rooms"). Inhabitants engaged in various activities including farming, crafts, and hunting.



The main draw of Biskupin is its "living history" exhibits, showcasing reconstructions of ancient huts and daily activities close to archeological site. Visitors journey through different historical periods, including the Stone Age Neolithic Village, the Defensive Housing Estate of the Lusatian Culture, and the Early Piast Village. The museum also hosts an annual Archaeological Festival in September, offering lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and ancient cuisine.
