BALTIC AMBER – can be found mostly along the south coast of the Baltic Sea.

It was created from the fossil resin of conifers about 40 million years ago.

Some pieces of amber contain inclusions of animals and plants dating back to the Tertiary and Cretaceous periods.

Amber – THE GOLD OF THE NORTH – is used by artists to create jewellery.

The legendary dragon lived on the Wawel Hill in Cracow.

He would terrorize the inhabitants of the city and devour young girls. None of the knights

was able to defeat the dragon.

It was Dratewka – the shoemaker who finally made it. He stuffed a lamb with sulphur and placed the animal in front of the dragon’s

cave. The dragon ate the lamb and started to feel very thirsty. He went by the Vistula River and drank the water from the river. He

drank so much that he burst.

Today you can see the sculpture of the dragon in Cracow.

It is the only mine in the world, which is constantly open – from the mediaeval times till the present.

It is 300 km long and 327 m. deep.

You can find conference rooms, a hotel, restaurants and a spa here.
