Nowa Sól, meaning 'New Salt', is a city in the Lubusz Voivodeship of western Poland, situated on the banks of the Oder river. The city was founded in the 16th century around a salt-works that processed salt imported from Silesia, and it quickly developed into an important river port. Its history is deeply intertwined with the river and trade. After a period of decline in the post-war era, Nowa Sól is undergoing an economic revival, attracting new investments in various industrial sectors. The town has preserved some of its historic character, especially around the main square (Rynek) and along the Oder promenade. Visitors can explore the old port, discover the Dwarf's Path dedicated to local folklore, or enjoy a relaxing boat trip on the river. The local cuisine features typical Polish dishes. Nowa Sól is well-connected to the Polish and German road networks, making it an accessible destination for those looking to explore a less-touristy but historically interesting Polish town. The best time to visit is during summer to fully enjoy the riverside and outdoor activities.
