I recommend Wrocław is very cool city in Poland.
The most popular version of story about the Wawel dragon says a young shoemaker came out with an idea to fill a calf skin with sulfur and leave it as bait. The dragon ate it, felt it burning from inside, drank nearly all the water form the river in an attempt to quench the thirst and finally burst into pieces when it couldn't drink any more.
Yeah I heard that. The king told whoever could rid the city of the dragon could marry his daughter, the shoemaker who was from poor social standing killed the dragon and married the princess
One of my favourite legends
I'm Polish in on my dad's account so yea
Guys, it seems you didn't actually enter the castle which is a pity because it's courtyard and the interiors are impressive. You are super lucky with the weather! 😀
I am Polish-Australian, from Krakow and Sydney. Hope you guys enjoy the city where my parents come from! :D
It's a hidden gem in Europe!
Definitely a hidden gem - we love this place! More people need to know about it... hope we can share the epicness enough in these vids. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I suggest you to see WIELICZKA, very famous salt mine. :-)))))))
We will :)
Wieliczka is the best :)
Gooooooooood.
Yeah
You have to visit The "Wieliczka" Salt Mine. It's absolutely gorgeous!
Planning on it!
As a German its nice to see our neighbours country. It looked so nice. I should check it out asap.
You definitely should Sami - very cheap and amazing!
Hey, a fun fact about the dragin's lair for you: in the middle ages a brothel operated there and teh stairs you went through were a half-secret passage made for the king and courtiers so they wouldn't have to get wet on the way xd the dragon story's far older tho
That sort of cave right in the middle of the city was kind of cool...looking forward to seeing the next video...
Today theres a show on vistula river. 10pm. Drugons fights. Fireworks, lights and music. Must see this.
Hopefully the rain stops! 🎇
I miss krakow I'm really hoping your enjoying it there 😀
2:20 is a Baszta Sandomierska (defensive turret/tower), and the Gate is Brama Bernardyńska (Bernardine Gate). The building covered in Ivy (not poisonous one) are Austrian barracks, were soldiers of Austro-Hungarian Empire were stationed when Krakow was under Austrian rule.
3:37. Those big boats (or barges) are actually an afloat restaurants. As for tours on Wisła (Vistula), at 3:25 you can see boats on the left. There is were you find a starting point for river trips down and up the river.
4:40. Kings lived Wawel, Presidents resided in Warszawa. And under Austrain rule Kraków was surrounded by multiple forts , it was basically a City fortress. The sad point is, those forts had guns pointed as much outwards as also inwards.
5:41 You can see a golden copula at the side of the Cathedral. At the breakout of WWII, when German army has advanced onto the city, the citizens poured a pitch over those golden plates, turning it black. Thanks to that action this copula has been left untouched to this day.
6:02 Those are ruins of old castle village, that was inside castle walls. There was old chapel there included. This area in older ages included blacksmith, stables, bakery, granary... all subsidiary building that was necessary for fulfilling basic daily needs.
In fact, the correct shot from the castle courtyard is not shown here at all. At 5:03 is a map shown. Yellow dot should be where you were standing, outside actual Royal Castle. Either you haven't take any shots of courtyard... or didn't walk to it at all... I hope you did walk inside, cos if you don't... you have missed a bit.
The actual gate to the caste courtyard is behind you Danegar at 5:44, next to the cathedral wall, on the right from Danegar and half hidden behind arcades.
About Grota Smoka (Dragons Cave). it is said (in rumors and hush tone), that this is a way that Polish Kings were bringing lovers to the castle, far from the prying eyes.
The dragon statue is gas operated. It blew fire. You have to pay for it by sending sms to the number shown on a plaque at the base of the statue.
The dragon legend. Not exactly like that. The dragon liked cattle and sheep, true. But it was not a Prince, Kings son, but a shoemaker Littletwine (Szewczyk Dratewka) that got an idea to saw a sulfur filling into a sheep carcass and feed it to the dragon. The dragon ate the sheep and become so thirsty that it drank and drank so much that he has trouble with moving, and then the shoemaker slaw it with a shoemaker needle.
Loving these Krakow videos. Awesome work guys.
Appreciate the comment, thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying :)
Glad you liked it, greetings from Krakow!
Another great video about Krakow💞
Poland is really good place
Was in Kraków , good quality cheep prices lovely city
Completely agree!
Cool place dragon's den. Kept me in suspense
The legend of the Wawel dragon (the version I know): The king offered his daughter in marriage to whomever can slay the ferocious man-eating dragon. A young cobbler (think shoes not pie) gutted a sheep, filled it with sulfur, sewn it back up (trade skills) and then offered it to the dragon as a bait. After gulping the sheep, the dragon felt burning in its stomach, which made it thirsty. It started drinking water from the Vistula river to quench its thirst, and kept drinking until it burst into pieces.
It's kind of a flip side of the Cinderella story, where a working class tradesman gets rewarded for his ingenuity and bravery by marrying a princess. : )
I'm from Krakow and I am very happy that you like this city so much!
I love to watch you :)
Definitely visiting Poland😍
Its highly under-rated mate, do it.
Ya do it its the best country in my opinion
Stacey, loving your hair, girl! Lovely couple as always. Cheers
She's flattered! Thanks so much.
I am from Poland and I'm also watching yours channel :)
Wooo - thanks Markus!
I do confirm your information about dragon, despite I am from city of Wrocław. We learn that tale as kids at school. Have a safe trip! Great vlog by the way.
That made me laugh when Stacey's lenses stayed dark in the cave - happens to me too as I have that type of lens for my glasses! I was telling one of our Polish friends about your Krakow vlogs as she comes from there. She is 60 now so remembers Poland under Soviet rule. She said how much Poland has rejuvenated since independence - literally transformed. I''m really liking what I see in Poland and your videos are truly capturing the atmosphere and character of the place (as always).
Bet Poland looks completely different to her now (in some areas anyway) compared to what she recalls! Definitely somewhere worth visiting Rex, add it to ya list!
Thank you for your insightful videos, absolutely love them! Currently in Krakow, and with all your tips you have definitely made this trip extra amazing! From eating dumplings at Mr Vincent, drinking beer at Wezze Krafta & Forum Przestrzenie and exploring other parts of town, without your videos I wouldn't of found these awesome spots, so thank you and cannot wait to watch many more videos!
WOW - that is so epic to hear!! So happy we could help with the planning of your trip as well, Krakow is so awesome huh? One of our highlights so far.
Daneger and Stacey Absoultely amazing! There seemed to be a big festival in the main square this weekend which looked awesome, but sadly will miss it! Will definitely be back!
Cool video guys :) The cave underneath the castle was also a brothel and a pub and a thieves dev in various times in history. It also helped some nobles to run from the castle during the warring periods :) The site where this castle is located is the eldest connected with Cracow, around Xth century. There was a small fortification with a few houses at the very beginning and then it was growing a city around it. There is so much to tell about this place, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
A brothel and a pub... haha those were the days! Thanks for the intel
I’ve been to the dragons den that place is amazing I think the cave resembles the caves in Fiordland back home
Ahhh we gotta get to those caves then! Not really explored Fiordland at all
Hi! i'm so glad you liked the castle :) And so glad you liked Kraków as well, my city :D But the real thing about the dragon cave is that the marks on the walls inside, looks like the marks from "dragons" claws... So that's the reason from where the name of this cave came, but for the real they/re a marks from Knights swords. The caves (yep plural because there used to be multiple caves under the castle), were a King's "Night clubs". He was drinking there with his Knights, people.. they were bringing him Ladies... And sometimes the Knights were fighting here about ladies... so that's from where the marks on the walls came :D that's the real story about the cave and the "Dragon" :D
Ahhhh that's why we needed the guided tour haha! Thank you for clearing that up
haha No problem :D And Have a great time in Kraków and the rest of the Poland :D
THE!!! BEST!!! Ice Cream: Starowiślna st, 83!!! Or. GOOD LOOD: Plac Wolnica 11
If you want to check out some Polish craft beers, the Beerweek Festival is going on until Sunday at the Cracovia stadium. Nice beers, nice environment and cheap!
Heard about this, but some locals told us not to go because it was 20-25 zl per beer! That true?
I went there yesterday, you pay 10 bucks to get in and the beers were from 6-18 zl. They have 3 sizes of beer, 200, 300 and 500ml. Since I wanted to taste different beers before getting hammered, I just went with the 200ml which were about 6zl each. Think I spent total of 60zl including food and was enough booze for me. :D
For ice cream, Good Lood at Plac Wolnica is the place to go. And while you're there you can get Polish craft beer at Ursa Maior. Hope you're planning on visiting Liban quarry. Krakus mound is just a stone's throw away from the quarry and the view from there is magnificent.
We hadn't heard of this quarry, but are planning on visiting Krakus mound so will try do them together - thank you!
Great videos of Cracow 👍💖I'll be there again in 2 weeks...Love the city and its vibe 😍
Have fun! One of our fav places.
Not crakow Kraków
Your B-Roll is beautiful!! What editing program do you use?
Thanks guys. It's more about the camera and movement, but you can see all our kit here: danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/
Daneger and Stacey thank you!! ☺️
You have to visit National Museum in Kraków with Da Vinci's 'Lady with an Ermine'
Hi kuya & Ate 😂 the Dragon myth story surely had me convince that it's true Ha ha 😅 thanks for taking us along with you to Poland can't wait to see more am but that boat ride and yup! your right can be cool 😇👋👍👍👍
Haha I must have been convincing in telling the story then 👍👍
I love your videos! It's so nice to see you enjoying my city. For breakfast you must go to Charlotte Bistro on Plac Szczepański, the best french breakfast ever! "Bezogródek" it's also a cool place to chill and eat great food from FoodTrucks. Ice cream addictions is something super normal for us, we just love ice cream, GOODLOOD has the best variety of ice cream. "Gorące Pączki" on Szewska Street are also a must for yall. In translation they mean "hot donuts". I can't wait to watch more of your videos! Have so much fun in Poland :)
This looks gorgeous
It's a sick place!
Indeed, my friend. Indeed.
1. The "Tobacco Place" was a factory of cigarettes and cigars and was operational for 125 years until 2002. The name "Dolnych Młynów", means " of the Lower Mills".
2. The vine-covered buildings on the Wawel Hill were built by the Austrians in the 19th century and have little to do with the original castle.
3. I liked the video again :)
So nice....
Now...have you been on a yard in the castel?Its magnificent
I have
Today, the 02.06.2018, there's gonna be an amazing dragon & light show near the castle along the river at 10pm today!
Hopefully the rain stops! 🎇

Nice..

There are many versions of this legend but in most popular one it was not the kings sons but shoemaker apprentice who poisoned the Dragon! The king was desperate and offered his daughters hand to anyone who can slain dragon, many knights perished in flames. Then came shoemaker apprentice and poisoned dragon.

Cześć 👋From a Pole in US. Hope your stay is as you wished to be and more.
Poland has already exceeded expectations!
This dragon is from old polish legend. I've heard it when I was kid
I just wanna say, Stacey is my new crush :). Enjoy you time in Poland :)
She's mine as well ❤️🤣
Looks you had real fun in that castle and cave walk thru. Poland is a dream destination. I hope they give easy access to visitors.
It definitely is an awesome place! They're part of Schengen. So you can move around between here and loads of European countries on the same visa easily :)
Shes got a beautiful smile. Lucky lad U are. Try Lublin, ull be suprised.
Yup, very lucky 🤘🏼
Love it
I'm living in Kraków and I didn't know bout this dragon den :o

Haha get that often - you can check all our equipment, gear and stuff we use daily on our site because people always ask about stuff - danegerandstacey.com/our-equipment/ Thanks for the comment 🤘🏼
Thanks! Celine prescriptions - fancy!
When were you guys there? I was in Poland 26th May to 2nd June, with 29th May to 31st May in Krakow. Wawel is beautiful and Wawel chocolates are yummy.
Here right now, still in Krakow - the vlogs are only a few days behind :)
HEHE ICE CREAM TREND IN POLAND IS ON DIFFERENT LEVEL :)) I AM WONDERING WHY MYSELF EVEN THOUGH IM FROM KRAKOW :) you should definitely GO AND TRY SI GELA they are based in Podgórze, best ice cream in town, they have crazy flavors like parsley, carrots, mozzarela with basil and so on... GREETINGS !!
Haha its so funny the addiction here
Daneger and Stacey :)
I visited Poland in June and both myself and my mom were amused about the ice cream obsession there :))
Ekhm... the part that you guys shown, it's not the main castle, those are the Austrian military barracks, the royal renaissance castle is behind the cathedral.
Yeah we just hadnt walked around enough yet!
Ocodo That is right and it is built during partitions of Poland in XVIII/XIX century. Austrians use to have a military hospital there. It is not even a part of a castle but "added later" buildings which simply stayed there after the fall of Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The main castle firstly was gothic and later in XV century was rebuilt in a renesaince style. Worth to see from inside and outside.
Daneger and Stacey Hi guys! Are you still in Kraków? Are you going today at the Vistula river to see giant dragons and laser music show at 10 PM? I go with a camera.
4:04 Green wall in shape of Poland :)
I recommend visiting Tarnów! :)
been there... nice place... are you going to the salt mine?
Yup! Video coming in the next few weeks once we go
I liked the inside tour of the Wawel Castle. Too bad they didn't show the interior here.
Go to Zakrzówek in Krakow. This place looks like a Croatian beach.
Would love to - not this weekend though haha
Hi guys, looks like you guys skipped best part of the castle heh.. anyway I love yours vlogs, Thanks.
I went inside the castle its soo good
Im form Poland
; )
Hey!
Kraków
Daneger without glasses hmm something new :D
👍👍
Guys, are ou planning to go to Tatra Mountains even for one or two days? Cause YOU SHOULD!
Won't be able to make it there sadly, next time! We're heading north instead :)
😁💓
its true legend
Love you two!
how far is the wawel castle from old town?
It's in old town ...
The legend about dragon is a little bit different especially the end. The man who slays dragon was name Dratewka and he was a shoemaker. He stuffed sheep with sulflur, dragon ate it. Sulflur start to burn dragon from the inside so the beast went to the river and was drinking until it blew.
Hah, I'd love to be your second fan who you meet in Kraków, but unfortunately I'm flying to Miami today... So have fun in Poland and visit Aushwitz!
Thanks Janek! Have an awesome trip... and you won this as well by the way 🥈
Thanks!! :''D
Where are you? What about Great Dragon Parade and Wieliczka?
The parade was only yesterday hahaha. Wieliczka will be happening for sure, not sure when yet, we're here for a month so we don't rush things.
Guys informed me pls 😬 how is the weather in the beginning of October? I book a trip to Krakow to see your beautiful city ✌🏼💜
No idea sorry - best to Google it
is the fire breathing dragon still there?
It is yeah, out the bottom of the cave we walked through!
BTW, the absolute BEST polish icecream brand is 'GRYCAN', it is kinda pricey but tastes great!
Your accent... is it Australian?, definitely not American :)
Awesome, thanks. We're from New Zealand :)
Far away fro home :)
Read: "If this adventure is shit, it's Daneger's fault" LOL. Nice Stace.
Haha think I passed. Luckily.
You should go to Wrocław!
Po co? Wrocław to poniemieckie miasto, jako Festung Breslau było zniszczone w 75 %. Nie ma tam żadnych zabytków
w mojej opinii to najładniejsze miasto w PL. ma wiele do zaoferowania nawet jeżeli nie ma tylu zabytków co Kraków
twoja opinia jest tylko twoja . Turyści wybierają Kraków , w 2017 odwiedziło To Królewskie miasto ponad 12 mln ludzi, zostawili 5,4 mld zł. Wrocław 4 mln. To prowincjonalne niemiecki miasto słynące z montowni zachodnich koncernów jest dla biednych Ukrainców...Waszych kuzynów z kresów
haha! tak jak napisałam, to moja opinia. odwiedzałam oba te miasta. OD SIEBIE polecam Wrocław. a Ty masz jakiś ból człowieku... żegnam.
Ból to Ty masz......bo nie wiesz jak odpisać wobec tych faktów i mówisz o jakimś bólu ..pewnie od tych faktów dostałaś okres ...to też boli ")
I won't mention your amazing T-shirt ever again....promise.Can I send you a fresh one maybe?
Haha sure you can 🤣
President?? It's a polish kings castle only. President lived in the kings castle but in Warsaw in the times of the Second Republic. It's quiet because you didn't walk into the Castle actually. In the castle is a beautiful Italian courtyard and inside cathedral are tombs of polish kings. You missed so much :(
Ice cream addiction in Poland?! I😂😂😂 Have you been to Italy? 🤣🤣🤣
Yup we have. But there was something different about Poland and the frequency of it, not just the gelato type either, magnums, ice blocks from the shops and all sorts. It was different.
@@DanegerAndStacey I'm a Pole, that's why I'm laughing. BTW I have been to Italy many times. They have ice cream shops everywhere as well. Greetings from London!
@@DanegerAndStacey BTW 2. Very good videos! 😊
☝️💯🍀☀️
You look like Diplo
Heard that a few times before man, funny how often it comes up!
That myth is funny. Hopefully it is but a myth. The cave is beautiful inside.
ITS MORE LIKE PALACE THAN CASTLE IT WAS CASTLE LIKE 800 YEARS AGO CRACOW IS VERY OLD
Ok that was interesting but if you take me on ye old mid evil tour and there is people dressed in armor i'm seriously going to have to reevaluate our friendship half joking lol
There's another story about the dragon that it only blows fire when a female virgin passes by.
Dragon myths are exactly that...myths, not true about Dragons all being a nuisance, etc. Man messed that up as Dragons are natural protectors and defenders of the earth and humans who love them. So, love the Dragons, as they are returning!
Ivy, that's ivy ...not grass
Second! What do I win 😜
Nothing, I was second ;P
Ooooh you were actually 3rd 🥉😜
Haha wellllll shit... Bronze aint bad 😎
You won a kiss from dragon :D LoL
Its not ice cream its like some merch of the drogon and stuff
Krakovski polen da luc za Betlehem.
First
Lucky trophy number 30! 🏆 Really thought this was the video you were slippin on, but everyone else was as well haha
Daneger and Stacey I was giving a chance to everyone by eating a milkyway but no one did so I did my ninja.
Dragon demanded the Virgins
2 x v i wawel
