Poland's hospitality up close: Jola Ketterer on a big running trip!
What's new from Poland? The remarkable journey of extreme athlete Jola Ketterer is currently causing a stir. The 55-year-old recently embarked on an impressive run across her home country - in the form of a ten-day motorhome adventure from Warsaw to Zakopane. She covered around 50 kilometers a day, which allowed her to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of Poland and come into contact with warm locals. Your trip presents an interesting perspective on Poland, far from familiar stereotypes. This is reported by Pforzheim Zeitung.
During the tour, Jola experienced how rich Polish hospitality is. A meeting on a farm where the farmer's wife spontaneously organized a celebration for Jola's arrival was particularly touching. Hospitality in Poland is kept high, as other travelers also report. A deep-rooted tradition is to always entertain guests, even if they are not hungry. A process that can also lead to embarrassing situations because you often cannot reciprocate in time, says another traveler who has had similar experiences polish-online.com.
Poland – A modern country
While traveling through Poland, Jola noticed not only the warm hospitality, but also that the country is modern in many ways. The journey took them through large industrial parks and innovative companies, embedded in a well-developed infrastructure. A participant in the tour noted that digital payment via cell phone is widespread in Poland and that the well-maintained house facades, coupled with modern vehicles, create an appealing image - in complete contrast to the common clichés about the country.
Jola Ketterer's trip is not only a sporting challenge, but also a great opportunity to show the positive spirit of Poland. Despite the prejudices that many Western Europeans have towards Poland, it is clear that it is time to rethink these stereotypes and experience the diversity and warmth of the country. As reported by SWR, Jola has already covered 1,000 kilometers and is planning to chase an extraordinary goal. Her entire running route will ultimately cover an impressive 5,000 kilometers across the USA.
We can't wait to see what further adventures await Jola on her way. Her journey has already inspired many and impressively shows how sporting ambition can be combined with human warmth - and that is particularly important in times of prejudice and mistrust.
