Radlin - City Tour

Radlin is a typical Silesian town shaped above all by hard coal mining. It was formed by merging former settlements, including Biertułtowy, while Lower and Upper Radlin remained districts of Wodzisław Śląski – hence the riddle of how it is possible that Radlin does not lie in Radlin. The heart of the town is the historic “Marcel” mine, formerly called “Emma”.

We prepared a walk from the town hall, past the Church of the Assumption and Radlin Olympians Square, along the mine to the estate of familoks, or workers' houses, on Mielęckiego Street. We will hear, among others, about the gymnast Leszek Blanik and the pianist Piotr Paleczny.

The Polish-language recordings were produced as part of the Silesian Tourist Information System.
