As you might expect, our main reason for visiting Poland was Auschwitz. What we saw at the Dachau Concentration Centre in Munich was just a taste of the Auschwitz complex, which included three separate areas – Auschwitz 1, Birkenau (known as Auschwitz II) and Monowice (or Auschwitz III).

We picked up a brochure of the Ginger Monkey hostel when we were in Krakow. We were planning on going from Krakow to Budapest in Hungary however the brochure showed Zdiar and the Ginger Monkey hostel as the perfect little pit stop if you were going between Krakow, Budapest, Vienna, Prague and Bratislava.
