Ostrów Tumski
Ostrów Tumski is the only island at the river Warta that can still be visited today. It is a quiet place, perfect for a walk and thinking about the origins of the Polish country. This place is also the location of the Poznań Cathedral, which dates back to the beginnings of christianity in our country. It was established in the second half of the 10th century, which makes it one of the oldest churches in Poland. This was the place, where the first kings of Poland were burried: Bolesław Chrobry, Mieszko II and Kazimierz Odnowiciel.
