The medieval old town of Toru324 is the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus. It was inscribed onto the World Heritage List of UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1997. Torun is one of the few Polish cities which were not destroyed in World War II. The buildings you see here are as old as they look. Everybody knows the story of the rat catch http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Kuyavian-Pomeranian/Torun/blog-254846.html Photos from my overnight trip to Torun which is a couple of hours by train from Poznan. It's a pretty place but I didn't really enjoy myself. The locals were quite rude and my hostel was a dump which is a first for me in Poland. Anyway I think my photos turned out quite nice http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Kuyavian-Pomeranian/Torun/blog-216571.html I wake up at about 630 probably due to the missing rain cover on the tent. Chances for rain are virtually zero at the moment during the day temperatures of around 30 celsius make getting far very hard. It's the evenings when we get the most cycling done even in the morning it's too hot to cycle comfortably.First we reach Chelmno a lovely small town located on a hill which makes getting the http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Kuyavian-Pomeranian/Chelmno/blog-194537.html Ok guys I've gotten some pics of Torun that I thought were pretty good Hope you like them http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Kuyavian-Pomeranian/Torun/blog-172967.html Hey all well we're back from Torun. It was a really nice and relaxing weekend for us but super hot. So the heat made us pretty tired and didn't want to do too much. We were only there for about a day but we feel that we saw a good part of Torun. It's a beautiful little city quite different from Warsaw I feel. I'd definitely like to go back again maybe at a time when it's not so terribly hot http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Kuyavian-Pomeranian/Torun/blog-167170.html Torun is a very very gorgeous town in central Poland that is famous for three things 1 being stunningly quaint and beautiful 2 their famous pierniki or gingerbread and 3 birthplace of Kopernik or Copernicus as he was known in Latin.Unfortunately because of my poor judgement we missed the first train and thus had less time than I would have liked here. Torun has 200000 people but it was http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Kuyavian-Pomeranian/Torun/blog-77303.html
