In the Northeast of Poland (province of Warmia-Mazuria), at 10 km from
Braniewo in the direction of Frombork, a small village, I should say a
hamlet has the beautiful name of Stepien. I like this hamlet, because
it bears my name.
This charming little village has not more than two or three
farms, the same number of houses and a general store where it is also possible
to have a drink.
Here is the main road at the entrance of the hamlet.

from Frombork to Braniewo and back.

Discover the area:
Frombork (at 7 km) is famous for its old fortified church and the
castle of the bishop. The famous astronomer Copernic has lived here; a
museum describes his discoveries and celebrates his memory. There is also
a planetarium, all within the walls of the fortified cathedral.
Braniewo (at 3 km) has a beautiful old baroque church (St. Croix,
photo
hereunder by André Orban) and an old cathedral destroyed by
World War II and nicely rebuild.
Elblag, main city of the area (at 39 km) has a beautiful church
to the Virgin Mary.
Two nature parks extend, one between Frombork and Elblag (cities
of Tolkmicko and Prochnik), another across theGulf Wislany, around the
city of Krynica Morska.
