The Happiest Village in Poland
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лис 2019
- Zalipie is a tiny village in Poland where the houses are covered in painted flowers both inside and out. It's a local tradition that's been passed down through generations and continues today. Visiting Zalipie, you are overwhelmed by colour and by the imagination and creativity of the people who express such joy through painting. You feel really free to just do what you feel like doing and expressing yourself and not being confined by what your home 'should' look like. In the video we also do a flower painting workshop and sit with women who have learned how to paint these flowers through their family and are carrying on the tradition. We also visit the local church which, of course, is full of painted flowers. You can't help but feel joy and inspiration in colourful Zalipie!

Do you feel inspired seeing this colourful painted village? 🌼🌸👩🎨🎨
Yes yes yes!, I can't imagine down thumbing a video like this. Thank you for sharing.
Two happy people in a lovely place - thanks for celebrating Zalipie!
Eileen Aldis bravo eileen aldis💐💞✌💙💛
A cheery place, great therapy for the mind and eyes.
Yes I do. This beautiful, happy little world is a great escape from hardness and pain of life.
Greatings from Hungary to Polak brothers! 🤗 🇭🇺🇵🇱 ❤
Love you brother ❤
From 🇵🇱 to 🇭🇺 with Love for 2020
Hello Hungarian brother!!!❤
Gábor Pechó and for u too! Brother😘👍🏻
I Love You my Hungerians brothers and sisters :-))
The world needs positive people like you, Eileen. I'm from Belgium, but when I retire, it will be in POLAND.
aww thanks, Anja! We love Belgium too and made videos there. Please have some fries for us ;)
How come your country is a miserable place? It must be because of the local Belgians themselves, isn't? Desperate time, to look inside your own collective personality and admit this, Eil.
This is the true definition of "Flower Power" 🙂
✌️🌸😁
It is NOT the flower power, but GOD-Power.
Poland villages are absolutely stunning..added to my bucket list
That's awesome to hear! This one is so charming 🌸
Oglądając te cudenka jestem dumna że tacy ludzie pozytywnie zakręceni żyją wśród nas oglądając taki dom to dom pełen miłości patriotyzmu i miłości do Boga . Piękna tradycja kontynuujemy te tradycje i podziwiajmy tych Ludzi a zwłaszcza te Panie które tworzyły tak piękne gniazdka pełne miłości dziękuję i pozdrawiam
Oh my gosh, I'm dreaming of what Zalipie must be like in the summertime. It's like a Disney animated movie in real life. Love love that church! What a magical discovery and share :)
Blessings, James and Kim
That's true! It has a fairytale, almost cartoonish, quality given all the colours! I can imagine the flowers being animated and jumping off the wall to fly around and even start talking ;)
I really like the HOLY PICTURES on the wall- good reminder about REAL PURPOSE OF OUR EXISTANCE- SALVATION and SANCTIFICATION OF OUR SOULs and GODLY LIVING.
Hi, im from Poland, i live 7 kilometres from Zalipie, and Stefania was my great-grandmother. When I was a child we would come to her, my mother would bring paints, set up the ladder, but Stefania would paint and renovate the paintings at home. Such a tradition. She was a really nice and lovely person. I am happy when even someone who did not know her talks about her with such passion.
I'm sorry I've only just seen your comment now. WOW, I'm in shock that Stefania was your great-grandmother. That's AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. As you can see in the video, we were very moved and inspired by Stefania's creativity and obvious joy in painting and creating. How wonderful to have the memories of her that you do. My best wishes to you and your family. It means a lot to hear from you and know that you enjoyed our video. ❤️
My goodness. Kinda like a fairy tale isn't it? If someone doesn't feel uplifted..and yes inspired...upon setting foot in such an adorable community, then there is something wrong with them!
haha I'm glad you feel the same way, Scott. Zalipie is very inspiring and amazing that this colourful tradition continues to this day!
What a gorgeous start to my day! I know that I will be re-watching this video whenever I feel low. Your laughter and joy is infectious. Zalipie is now on my wish list!
aww thanks, Liz!! The energy in these painted houses is so over the top JOYFUL. It was just so inspiring ❤️
If you like colorful buildings, you should see the market square in Zamość. I also recommend visiting Bolesławiec. The town is famous for handmade pottery.
The name of the village means something like: behind the linden tree. How appropriate! :)
That's very pretty :)
I am glad you liked it 😀
Thank you! 🌸
so Poland are Awesome
Agreed 🙂
So beautiful
Yes 🌸 🌼
Wow. So many talented people in Poland. What a cool village. My Mom would have loved this village as she was the biggest lover of flowers that I've ever known. Thanks for the awesome video and sharing such a beautiful place.
Wow, my daughter would absolutely love these homes. So creative and free. Haha, your time is spent creating videos for us to enjoy ;p Flowers from wrappers...brilliant! Oh no, she fell into the well??? Best to leave the inside unpainted. I love that her grand daughter carried on the tradition. So great!!! Flower painting workshop...fun! That room in the church so beautiful. Loved the chandelier!!!
The beautiful, creative energy of Zalipie could only be eclipsed by your enjoyment of the painted houses and the church! Your joy is so infectious! I thought it fitting that the first home you took us to belonged to a woman named Felicja. Reading through the comments left below, its sad that there aren't many villages like this left in Poland. I love folk art, and this form is so beautiful and tells us a lot about the people who created it. I especially love how they applied the colourful ornamentation to almost every surface.
I didn't know we have so nice place in Poland. Thank You! ❤
Hi! That's cool you know about this adorable village now! It's such a sweet and inspiring place to visit. 💕🌼 Which part of Poland are you from?
@@EileenAldis I am from Lublin. Now this city looks better after renovation of many buildings. Especially old town. You must try there cebularz sort of bread with onion and poppy seeds. In this area I recommend You small city Kazimierz Dolny and neighbourhood.
But my heart is always in Cracow. This is the most magical city in Poland for me. Full of history. Warsaw our capital city was damaged during second world war totally like Rotterdam, where I live now. If You are intrested in history I recommend Dolny Śląsk and sztolnie - underground tunnels made by nazist under the mountains. Very cool area with castle Książ in Wałbrzych or big city Wrocław. All these places I used to live.
Netherlands are also very beautiful 😊
Awww...
Here i am. In Toronto, Ontario. Missing Poland like crazy.
Thank you.
Zalipie. "pie" like PIErogi.
Greetings to you in Toronto, my former home! :)
Thanks to your channel i'm now heading to Poland next year to see Krakow and the Salt Mines! Thank you so much for the value add of including info and stories about every place you visit that is sorely missed in most vids in this genre. An absolute pleasure to watch each and every time. Safe travels!
Thank you so much for your amazing comment! This makes me extremely happy to hear :) I hope you have an incredible trip to Poland and safe travels to you as well!
Zalipie is such a Beautiful town of Happiness! You really enjoyed showing it! That's the Heart of Poland...Thanks Frank
This video captures the essence of why I love your whole channel: the joy that you experience and share. 😊
Just saw this, Rob! Thank you so much - I can't tell you how nice that is to hear :)
Polish traditional style of clothing differs from region to region but all are very colorful. Check lowickie (Lowicz city) region, they are famous for their colorful stripes. Those chandeliers often had an elements made from pencil sharpener cutouts.
Those strips can be seen in the background during Eileen`s visit to Restaurant "Zapiecek" in Warsaw
I looove your Poland series so much! I'm Polish but live in London. When I miss my country I like to watch Poland travel vlogs, and yours are by far my favourite. They are perfect, heartwarming and make me feel so happy! All the best in your travels and in the new year :)
That makes my day to hear! Thanks so much! London is an awesome city but homesickness is hard. Hope your 2020 is off to a great start :)
My first video this morning. it's 6:40am. My day is made. Thank you for this video and I think you represent these creative souls better than they would themselves. You are great ma'am. I think your use of language and delivery style is of angels. Good good job.
Wow, this makes my day - thank you very much! Your comment means a lot ❤️
What a lovely…..UPLIFTING….video you have given us! Yea POLAND!
I have had my “Happy Pill” for today….And maybe all week!
Your enthusiasm is infectious (As Always!).
What a wonderful joy…..you and Marc are to watch……Never lose your sense of wonder and discovery.
So beautiful.... 😍😍😍😍... Art therapy is always a great option 💪😎
Yes, it is :)
Amazing village!
So colourful!
@@EileenAldis maybe you have more movies from Poland ?
A lot more actually! They’re here: ua-cam.com/play/PLoYWok320A9YCsTDoMmhWGjrbNBCXDEL4.html We love Poland ❤️
@@EileenAldis ❤👍thank you
@@adiadrian2876 Hope you enjoy!
Your joy is contagious!
Thank you! ❤️
Beautiful village with coloured houses
Very charming!
Growing up in Hamtramck, Michigan in the 80s with a large Polish population, many restaurants and stores had paintings and embroidery like this on walls, doors and such. It's Babcia vibes
That's cool! Thanks for sharing that. I love how art and culture and history spreads around the world like that, especially in such a beautiful way.
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing! This village is close to where my family lives and I visited the village when I was in Poland over 10 years ago. I'm going to Poland this May and hope to visit this lovely village again! 😊
That's so great to hear! I wonder if you'll find the village has changed much since your last visit more than a decade ago. It's such a delightful place. We LOVE Poland and have actually made a bunch of other videos about it if you're interested to see more - they're here: bit.ly/PolandPlaylist Hope you have a lovely visit next month...please have some delicious Polish food for us :)
Hi. You inspired me to visit this colourful village. I have only heard about its existence, I did not know it was so beautiful, though.Eileen , the region you are now in has so much to offer. Don't miss Lańcut palace. lublin, Leżajsk ( organs)Sandomierz, Rzeszów, Zamość, Kozłówka and Przemyśl and many more -) the time and the cold weather permitting. Enjoy your stay and looking forward to more of your fantastic films.
I am glad you liked this unique village. Unfortunately, we do not have a lot of rural places like that. The country has been through so many wars and frontlines that left a little of what could have be seen.
Enjoy your stay in Poland! 👍
We loved it! Thank you :)
Those houses are so cool.
I feel as inspired as you do seeing all the flowers then more flowers. What a great choice for your video.
Oh wow I am from Łódź and since playing the Witcher 3 I was thinking about going to Zalipie to feel this old, countryside slavic flowery vibe, but I never made it there. You convinced me for sure, I'm going there next spring/summer :D cheers
That's awesome, Marta! Hope you have a great time :)
I love this video and the flowers on the frames and robes especially.
Thanks, Nancy! So glad to hear that! :)
Over 35 years ago this little village was ,,one horse town,, it was only fireman’s house and beer little shop 🤐 but am happy 👍times it’s changing and now this is tourist attraction 👍
Ps.only 2km from my childhoods vacations time Samocice rulzzzz!!
That's cool you remember it from then :)
Eileen Aldis Lots of memories 😎 🤟
Zalipie is famous for beautifully painted houses, a great movi👍👍👍
Love This video, but you are a sunshine yourself , really it’s so uplifting watching you being happy , you make everybody around you smile too☀️☀️☀️yes you made my day❤️
Well seeing this makes MY day, Elizabeth! Thank you ❤️
It is true. Eileen's laughter and optimism is contagious.
@@wujek2260 that's so lovely to hear ❤️
What a joy to see these beautiful homes and to share in your enthusiasm and appreciation. Must have been fun to try your hand at painting too. Are you
taking the spatulas home as souvenirs? Good idea!
It's nice that you admire Poland so much. Thanks to you, I can too for a while enjoy what is known to me, but I do not have too much time every day to enjoy it :)
I love your reaction 😁🥰
Such a pretty village, love all the bright colours. Great to see your obvious enjoyment at visiting.
Love this ❤
Thank you, Donna - glad to hear that ❤️
LIKE the FLOWERS house and like you channel and like country style

OMG !! , another surprise ! it's only 15 km from me :) :)
Cool! Have you been to this museum? :)
@@EileenAldis Of course.!! The last time I was 2 years ago.But in those days was some renovation and not all houses were open to the public.Now, thanks to your video, I can see all the beauty.:) In spring I will personally go to see :)
That's awesome!

Greetings from Poland
Thank you! Hello back :)
Thank you guys,that’s the best video about Zalipie I’ve ever seen 👍

The Beatles in 1966 would fit perfectly to this place.

Thanks a lot! We'd love to :)
I was wondering whether to suggest visiting this village. And here, what a surprise. :)
haha I'm glad I got there! :)
@@Maarrta I hope you enjoy the video :)
Podobny skansen jest w Sanoku
Uadny dom
I love my country :-)

special greetings for my brothers and sisters from Hungary
We love your country too :) We made a lot of videos around Poland if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/PolandPlaylist Which part of Poland are you from?
@@EileenAldis subscribe button and the thumb up :-)
Im from Sokolka near Bialystok, but I live abroad for nearly 30 years (last 20 in London UK)
@@Solarado I see! London is one of my favourite cities.
Thank you! Welcome to our channel :)
I like your attitude
It's pronaunced Zalipye :)
In Krakòw Szewska Street near Planty, Zalipie had their own restaurant called Zalipianki.
Paintings on the walls, wooden painted furniture, paintings refreshed by the ladies from Zalipie every year ........ really good Polish food.
We use to love that place.
Unfortunately rent on premises belonging to the Cracow Town Hall was raised so high so Zalipianki went out of business.
Fancy place is run now by ex Miss World Ewa Wachowicz come chef , paintings are different on the walls.
Dishes are hit and miss but prices match the status of Miss World.
Do search on line under Zalipianki you may still find photos from 4 years ago.
Cracovians want Costa , Starbucks , McDonanalds .......magic places are lost forever.
it is a pity that Mrs. Wachowicz does not want painters from Zalipie to paint the restaurant again
When I saw your video from Tarnów, I was only waiting for this pearl in crown fo Poland :)
I love this place, some times ago beeing a guide for foreigners making tours from Kraków ;)
Enjoy Poland!
haha you were absolutely right, Robert! That's cool you were a guide. It seems like it'd be a good day trip for people visiting Kraków too. We love travelling in Poland as I'm sure you can tell from this huge series we've done! :)
@@EileenAldis You would be /are great guide in Poland, so huge knowless I really admire ;)
Thanks so much, Robert :)
very inspiring 🥰
I agree :)
You can see all this in INDIA because I am Indian and like your Poland
Thank You Eileen for such a nice film. I never been in Zalipie so You drove me there. It's really so beautiful and inspiring.Nice You both have a great fun of visit my country. Love it!
We love it! So great you're inspired to visit Zalipie now too - enjoy it :)
@@EileenAldis I was last time in Krakow and Wieliczka to show my wife the salt mine. But I didn't even had an idea some willige like Zalipie exist. Hehehehe!
Your next stop should be village of Łącko famous of it's moonshine plum vodka (75%).
ua-cam.com/video/4iKbW6FpvrY/v-deo.html
yey! so nice you'v reached that place! It's not wide-known one. yet ;)
You should visit Kościerzyna!
Eileen jesteś urocza !🌹
Zalipie is pronounced zah-leep-ee-ah and its rough translation is after the shrub/plants lipa is a type of tree or plant. Looks lovely.
That's so sweet. Maybe you could do it in your home over like one arch, or in a powder room or something. I feel the same way about Mexican tile and artwork whenever I see it- I just want to cover my house in it.
😍😍😍😘😘😘😘
If you guys loved it there.. you will definitely be enchanted with a cute Alpine town called Miitenwald, Germany in the Bavarian region and Hallstatt, Austria...look them up & you will see why...I loved seeing you two lovebirds starry-eyed in this on place.
Ooh sounds dreamy, Cynthia!
Your level of enthusiasm and happiness is absolutely amazing. :) Greatings from Kraków!
Niewieze ze byliscie w zalipiu! XD
You just need the "Concering Hobbits" score in your ears, and the expirience is complete.
Great episode. You should practice more flower painting - those were not bad for the first try. :)
Thanks, Robert! It felt good to do it and would be fun to try painting more :)
Zalipie (Pron: Zah-lip-yeh) is where my family name originates. And it's likely one of the reasons I'm an accomplished and noted fine artist!
You have to come to Poznań ;) It`s one one of most beautiful and positive crazy cities ;)
We’d love to!
You should see Zakopane, Lowicz and Koniakow.I didnt know about this village.
Thanks for the suggestions!
*Witcher flashbacks*
👍💕
my bucket list. is that a museum now?
Saw it today and you were very lucky because with Covid-19 you cannot go inside the homes, only look through the windows. Very beautiful homes and stoves etc. Did you visit my hometown of Kielce?
You should’ve let me know, I live literally 5 minutes away from Zalipie :)
You are blessed then. I am jealous a little bit. I am so far away.
Living in here has its perks, but after all it’s still a little village which you take for granted after having been living here for a long time. Let me know if you want to drop in, can host you :)
Happy Zalipie :)
The last few days I’ve been watching videos of Zilipie and boy would I love to visit there. I come from a Polish background so this would be really fun. I had the same reaction of pure joy when I first saw video of Zilipie. Would you know what type of paints they use to paint indoors and outdoors? The paint outside would have to be able to stand up to our Canadian summers with heat , rain and sometimes hail. And not to mention winter. Do they paint free hand or are there stencil patterns ?
Pure joy is exactly right! I agree. I hope you're able to visit Zalipie on a future visit to Poland. I don't know what types of paint they use and I believe it's mainly free form, at least the original paintings etc. We love Poland and have made a lot of videos throughout the country. Those videos are here if you're like to see more: bit.ly/PolandPlaylist :)
I think the room in the church is the sacristy.
I love you
❤️
E like in word "yEs"
Is Austria expensive for Christmas?♥️
We actually made videos about Vienna and the Christmas markets there if you'd like to see: bit.ly/ViennaPlaylist :)
Who does the editing for your videos? I love the music used for the transitions. This is really well done. And thanks for saying nice things about Poland. Communism almost ruined the country so it's taken a while to catch up to other parts of Europe. You guys seem like nice genuine people.
Thank you! We do the editing. And we love Poland ❤️
