TORUN

Copernicus, the one who found out that the Sun was not exactly turning around himself, was born here. Additionally still partially-walled Torun is classified a World Heritage town ( some more sites world-wide should be classified in a couple of days). Having witnessed the birth of the famous astronomer may have had some psycological effect on the minds of those who made the WH application and those who decided on it, but there was no need for such emotional element. The city fully deserves per se its WH status, although the Vistula river, passing by in an indolent fashion, does not seem to remark it.
But I did: by strolling twice around the walls, the gothic houses on the Rynek (old town market place), the ruins and the parks, the remnants of the Teutonic Knights castle, one during day light, another by night. After what I went fully and peacefully sleep in my hotel fifty meters from one of the walls gates.
