Laczynska Huta, 02.08.2017 Poland

After moving back to Berlin from Shanghai, we tried our best to show various parts of Europe to our kids, who had a better knowledge of Asia than Europe back then. After Italy, Slovenia and Croatia, England and Scotland, Hungary, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Albania, Iceland and France, it was finally time to make a visit to the neighbour to our East: Poland. We chose a region southwest of Gdansk, because of its charming landscape: the so-called Kashubian Switzerland.

Gdanzk, 05.08.2017 Dominican Market

I couldn`t believe my eyes: even though approximately 90% of the buildings were destroyed in the Second World War, Gdansk was reconstructed beautifully and holistically. A little bit tiring was just the overall presence of the Dominican Market, which made the historic city centre far smaller and congested than necessary.
