- The thing is, that we actually would have not spotted these two ruins, if we would have not wasted our money and taken a boat from Westerplatte to the central area of Gdansk. These ruins are only visible from the river, or from shore if you walk to the dock area and then you would have to walk again back to the central are of the city, as the closest bridge is there. - Talking about the boat trip from Westerplatte. Absolute waste of money. What you get to see is piles of coal, the dock area and the harbour, whit it's smelly piles of something. But the good thing was, that we spotted these two absolute gorgeous ruins. - Again, judging from the architecture, these have stood here from the Second World War like that. The ruins are full of small and nice details, something which you can't find from any modern building. The facade of the second ruin is absolutely magnificent looking. The ruins are located a bit off from the tourist traps, but the distance is only couple of hundred meters, but still when reaching the area, if was like you would have entered into another city. The real Gdansk and not the smooth appearance, that every city wants to show to it's tourists. - We'll have to get back to Gdansk someday, as the city kept inside so much to see, that the time we were here, just wasn't enough.

- A ruin, to which it was impossible to go inside. The roof and the floors have come down, most likely as a result of fire, making the interiors a perilous place. |

- The second ruin, with it's great facade. This one was safe to enter inside, although the inside in this context means, that you were surrounded by the still standing walls and that's about it. |
