(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Zielony MostPass-by Only
The Green Bridge connects the most magnificent part of the historic center of Gdańsk with the Granaries Island. It is an extension of the Long Market. Until the nineteenth century, it was partially wooden, and probably due to the color of the paint covering it, it was called the Green Bridge. After reconstruction into a steel structure, the original color disappeared, but the name remained. Until the end of World War II, the bridge was a drawbridge.
Wyspa SpichrzowPass-by Only
Granaries Island, surrounded by two arms of the Motława River, is almost 2 and a half kilometers long and only 300 meters wide at its widest point. For several hundred years, it served the residents of Gdańsk as an area for storing goods. Nearly 360 granaries, mainly for storing grain but also warehouses for wood, resin, ash, and many other materials traded by Gdańsk, were located on it.
Crane The most powerful of Gdańsk's water gates served both defensive and port crane functions. After expansion in the 15th century, the Crane was considered the largest structure of its kind in medieval Europe. The crane mechanism consisted of two pairs of large walking wheels mounted on common axes. The wheels were operated by workers walking inside them. One set of wheels could, with the help of multiple pulley ropes, lift a weight of up to two tons.
