We came to Gniezno on Easter Sunday as a day trip from Poznan by local train. It turned out to be a very pleasant trip with blue sky but with almost everything closed.
Gniezno is said to be the birthplace of Poland. Funny enough it's a German doing. Kaiser Otto III. made a pilgrimage to the grave of holy Adalbert who's remains were retrieved by Boleslaw I. for gold. Adalbert was beheaded on a missionary trip. Anyway, in the cathedral Otto ennobled his vassal and therefore Poland was born. |

A shame so much was closed but you seem to have had a lovely trip anyway and have some pretty photos to remember it by. I like the shot across the lake especially :-) | jumpingnorman Thu Jul 2, 2009 23:29 UTC
