tczew (dirschau) + leczyca, poland, PL

on the way back from the polish baltic sea, we have visited tczew nad wisla (dierschau, zursau) an der weichsel - a city in historical western prussia (in pomerania aka pommern) in northern poland, PL. according to wikipedia, here we are 30 km from the baltic sea and 16m above the sea level. the wisla river itself is just 3m above the sea level here. nice for tczew, the folks build up a dyke (damm), so there were no floods in the recent years ... unlike the many floods in the young years of the waitress we spoke to in the riverside restaurant 😄

enjoy few pictures from this originally slavic (polish), after its conquest by the teutonic knights german and today again polish settled city, will you?

town hall + market square, leczyca

there was not much open for food at that late evening in leczyca, so we stayed in a central asian kebab house with dark statures inside and outside of it like in berlin-kreuzberg ... we were worried if this guys would steal or break our car 🚗, but nothing happened 😄. well, strange foreigners are normal in western europe these days, but not so common for poland, if you asked me ... 

few more pictures here.

to do at occasion: insert multiple pictures from my google photos album actually not possible (selecting pictures from album is possible, passing them to this blog post not possible).... btw, inserting pictures via mobile phone would be fine, on the computer via chrome or edge not possible yet 😟)

... unfortunately, i need some help when creating a blog post: i can't insert my google photos to my blogger blogs and i've already deleted cache, cookies ... and allowed blogger.com all pop-ups)
