Klobuck is the hometown of my grandfather's family. My ancestors have lived here for more than 350 years and I have many cousins still residing here. I expected Klobuck to be small like Sztabin but it is much larger and not far from Czestochowa (about a 15 minute drive). The population is about 13,000.
Linking to Good Fences
The pathway around St. Marcina Church in Klobuck.
The monastery next to the church.
Klobuck's school across the street.
Klobuck was granted town rights in 1339 but long before the town was established, this area was part of a major trade and it is possible that the ancient Roman trade route called “amber track” ran right through the settlement. The amber track was used to join the Mediterranean coast with the Baltic Sea.

That must have been quite a journey for you; treading in your ancestors' footsteps again.
A lovely little town, with many sights. I also like the stonework and the fences.

Interesting post, Ruth. Beautiful stonework in that path. Did I tell you that Kevin and I have been watching a 1980s movie series based on the book by Herman Wouk - War and Remembrance. I think it should be required reading/viewing for all seniors in high school.
Interesting fences and the path way is pretty nice for walking on.
Fancy or what.
Very nice fencing and that stone path was amazing. I like the different textures in the shots. Again, lots of history in this little town for sure.
