City break. We explore Nikiszowiec on a motorcycle and a bit on foot.
I invite you to such a trip to the city from the city on a motorcycle. I will take you to the historic workers' estate in Katowice, i.e. Nikiszowiec. It is a kind of time travel to the industrial era. Wherever you are, but here you can feel the spirit of the past industrial revolution on your own skin. It would seem that time has stopped here in Nikisz...
The very entrance to the estate, between the familoks built of raw brick with eyes painted red around the perimeter, makes us feel the truly industrial character of this workers' estate, which was built at the beginning of the last century for miners of the then Giesche mine. The name Nikiszowiec itself comes from the Nickisch mine shaft located nearby, which was later renamed the Poniatowski shaft.
It is worth mentioning that Nikiszowiec hosts regular events such as the Industriada, i.e. the Festival of the Technical Monuments Trail, and the Christmas Fair, i.e. the Nikiszowiec Fair. I remember running here during the Silesia Marathon and I could cool down with a water curtain :-))). I encourage you to visit interesting local gems near our cities, such as this workers' estate
