Wojciech Fedoruk Profile

Travelling is my biggest passion. I try to spend every day of my vacation time (unfortunately, limited to 26 days a year) travelling. I travel mostly with my family and sometimes solo. I love going to remote places and always plan visiting as many WH sites as possible. Although sometimes they are not rewarding, in most cases visiting WHS gives me much better understanding of the region I visit.

I find this site very helpful in planning my trips to more difficult WHS and want to share my reviews especially on rarely visited ones.

Recent Reviews Wojciech Fedoruk

Hermitage Blaca (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 08-Oct-23

Having visited the island of Brač I couldn’t miss the opportunity to go to unreviewed TWHS of Hermitage Blaca. The journey from popular towns of Supetar or Postira takes about one hour, last few kilometers are on dirt road. Then you have to park your car and go on foot about two kilometers through the mountain path – quite demanding, especially during summer heat. The views are great and reward the hardships of hiking.

Hermitage Blaca's history dates back to the 16th century when Glagolitic monks, fleeing the Ottoman invasion, sought refuge in this remote spot. They carved out their hermitage within the rugged cliffs, creating a place of both spiritual significance and scholarly pursuit. Blaca is really picturesque, set on the mountain slope like famous monasteries in Bulgaria, Georgia or Meteora in Greece

Bioclimatic Refugia of Western Arabia (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 09-Mar-23

Out of 7 components of this serial nomination I contiously visited only one – Jabal Shada Nature Reserve. Looking at my itinerary, I must have driven near other components, such as Jaba al-Qahar, but do not remember anything except nice views.

Jabal Shada Nature Reserve is famous for its amazing rock formations. There is a road with such steep climbs leading to the reserve that I have never seen anything like it in my life. Here, many times, entering another curve, I did not even see the asphalt! After driving, I checked the average slope and it was a modest 10%, but I'm betting that there were places where the slope must have been over 20%, maybe even 25%. The roads are just different there.

The monasteries of the Arab Desert and Wadi Natrun (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 26-Feb-23

Of the six monasteries under this proposal, me and my family visited three, two of them in Wadi el-Natrun - St. Bishoy Monastery (Deir Anba Bishoy) and Monastery of Romans (Deir al-Baramus) and one in the Eastern Desert (Monastery of Saint Anthony). The Syrian Monastery, right next to Bishoya, is only open on Fridays, so we were not able to visit it.

As the previous reviewers have already described the monasteries of Wadi el-Natrun, I will concentrate on the less accessible St. Anthony Monastery. To the monastery leads a great and completely empty road connecting Bani Suwayf with Sokhna.

Gebel Qatrani Area, Lake Qaroun Nature Reserve (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 26-Feb-23

After reading the description of this place provided by Egypt on the official UNESCO website, I could not quite understand what is to be the subject of the proposal. The state party refers to the ancient quarries of Widan el-Faras and Umm es-Sawan, where the remains of prehistoric animals were found. However, there is little information on the Internet about these places. So I decided to see for myself.

Minia (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 26-Feb-23

The Egyptian tentative list is a complete mess. Several proposals are placed twice. Among them are the tombs of Middle Egypt, placed as 'Minia' as well as 'The Necropolises of Middle Egypt, from the Middle Empire to the Roman period'. Anyway, of the four places covered by this proposal, me and my family saw two – Beni Hassan and Touna al-Gabal.

In Beni Hassan there are tombs of high dignitaries from the period of the twelfth dynasty, i.e. from the period between the twentieth and nineteenth centuries before Christ. Only four are available to visitors, each of them completely unique, with magnificent paintings and original columns
