On May 30th we visited St. Anna’s Hill for a scenic hike. Unfortunately our initial plan for the day was thwarted by heavy rain in the morning which prompted us to reschedule the bus ride from 10 AM to 1 PM. Despite the complications and unwelcoming weather our trip attracted 31 participants, including exchange and regular students alike. We arrived at Zyrowa within an hour and took a gander around its reknown Palace. A motorcycle enthusiast club gathering surprised us there but also provided a unique attraction in addition to the pretty architecture of the palace and the lovely park surrounding it.
The bus then took us to the Pilgrim’s House resort on St. Anna’s Hill which already provided a beautiful view of the Silesian farmlands stretching far towards the horizon just outside the city. After a short walk we arrived at the famous Amphitheater, tucked away in a vast open field in the middle of a forest it was an impressive sight. We stayed for a while to rest a bit, enjoy the grandiose atmosphere of the place and take memorable photos. The bus took us home safely shortly after and we returned to Opole in high spirits around 5 PM.
