[@maksymchabinski1717]

guys! where are you going now? and why isn't it Wroclaw? :) love to watch your videos! keep on exploring!

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Still in Krakow :) Don't think we will make it to Wroclaw sadly, no one told us before we booked stuff in it was amazing, now everyone here is saying its epic. Next time!

[@DagneSheiadhl]

Places for u to visit in Cracow- old quarry, now lake- zakrzówek, Old jewish cementery, Salt mine in Wieliczka. And 2 hours from Cracow- polish mountains Tatry and Zakopane.

[@solo_black_traveler]

Daneger and Stacey are you guys still in Krakow, I actually went to that mount today, an amazing view of the city

[@jerzyowcanietoperzy7833]

Have you seen " Ojców" the smallest national park in Poland about 20 km from Kraków ? Go there and explore , i guarantee that this is faboulous place!

[@lkeaboy]

I just thought of it a couple of minutes ago. I agree. Pieskowa Skała, limestone rocks, springs, forest all of this place is marvelous. I reccomend.

[@Thirstytraveler41]

Nice seeing non "touristy" cool sites...Great vlog, thanks for sharing!

[@grzegorzmroz43]

0:51 unknown artist was here

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So. Much. Talent 🤣

[@danielkiersnowski8609]

You two make FANTASTIC VIDEOS the editing is phenomenal

[@DanegerAndStacey]

So kind! Thank you SO much!

[@yyy1703]

in Kraków worth visiting Tyniec!!

[@treasurehuntfoodies]

Nice path😊🤣😄!!! Love the adventure!!! Beautiful and WOW! Looks like something from a scary movie😣!! Kim and James ♡♡♡

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks for getting here so quick 🥈Yeah its was definitely creepy down there even though its only a movie set... apparently 🙄

[@BROOKLYNBOUNDTRA1916]

Incredible videos guys! Viva Polska

[@jonattanrobles4313]

Really fun episode you two! I really liked it and you can tell Daneger enjoyed filming it he is like an excited little kid in this episode 😂

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We do love a good crazy exploration away from the tourists!

[@karoljarnuszkiewicz5451]

The church at 2:57 is Saint Benedict church, the smallest in Kraków

[@taliam7986]

Check out Zakrzówek - it's a pretty cool lake, just 10 mins away from the city center! ;) You can get there by taking trams: 52, 18, 17 or 11 going to "Czerwone Maki"! And i advise you to get out on Kapelanka stop :) The lake is amazing, it really looks like a little bit of Croatia locked in the center of Krakow.

[@paulsz6194]

Natalia Klich Zalew Bagry is also good to relax in on a Hot summers day!

[@huletdedoxoutburger6809]

I recommend visiting Wieliczka Salt Mine.

[@RexWaldron]

Super interesting vlog. I could feel the chill of the location coming across in spades! One of the things I really enjoyed was the way you captured the slightly random "let's go this way and hope it's right" nature of the day. This drew the viewer in to make them feel as if they were actually on the trip with you - like you were taking a bunch of mates to see the places - which in effect you were!

[@mareksowinski8278]

There is a lot of myths and stories about Cracow's mounds, and we still don't know much about them. My opinion is that it's because they tell our pre-christian history, and obviously many institutions(mainly catolic Church) are not interested in telling the Poles their true history.. We are taught that Poland was born in 966. However many places (also lilke this one) show us that there was a well developed civilisation here even like 1800 BC.

[@daviecrockett2272]

there is a similar mound like this in the UK, near Avebury if i remember correctly. They say it was built in Neolithic times

[@stephenderecho4535]

The thumbnail's so cute 😍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

❤️

[@krzysztoftyszkowski8770]

Kopiec Kraka 1100 years, kopiec Wandy, kopiec Piłsudskiegi and ZOO - super

[@jennrivera9383]

Loving it - true exploring, story time and rooftop art 😂👍

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Haha all about that art though huh :P

[@ysy662]

Stacey has fantastic tan :) Traditions of 'mounds' goes to the antic times, pre-Christian Slavs or even earlier to the Scythians who used to live here. Building mounds (known also as kurhans) was the way to pay the last respect to the great kings, warriors or heros. During the austrian occupation Cracow from 1795-1918 Poles could not honor their national heros by building the monuments, because the austrian occupier did not want any resurgence of polish pride or nationalism, so the way to do go around it was to build the mound and call it for example the 'Kosciuszko Mound'. This is how Poles were able to pay the respect to our heros during the dark times of the austrian occupation.

[@timhaley101]

love story time

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Lots more to come haha

[@krisx2S]

I lived near Kraków for 30 years and didn't know there was a quarry there :D. Great video! Also, If You're still in Krakow and want to see some more nature, Zakrzówek and Ojców are great places to visit (as mentioned here by others) :)

[@TheMniaaaam]

You Guys shoud go to ,,Zakrzówek" it's an old quarry flooded with water that is torquoise :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yup - been planning it out today! Hoping the weather stays good over the next few days :)

[@ChasingTheOddShapedBall]

The actual concentration camp that was to represent the one in Schindler’s List is actually next door to the quarry you went to. Amon Göth’s house (the Kommandant of Kraków-Płazlów concentration camp) is still standing, the actual house that was used in the film is actually next door to Göth’s house. Please don’t find it inappropriate to film this kind of stuff. It needs to be told, considering that today in most schooling curriculum the Holocaust is not taught, and more than 60% of people aged from 18-35 in the western world outside of Europe have no idea that this actually happened less than 100 years ago - it’s dreadfully sad. I am about to graduate from a masters in modern history, and I want to use that to teach people that this actually happened and by learning we can try not to repeat the wrongs of the past. My sister in law who is in high school in NZ hasn’t even got this subject in her curriculum in her school work. So we are packing up and taking her to Germany and Poland, so she can understand better what happened to her family but to learn this as well.

[@MonsterTVchannel]

Thank you for making these awesome videos. I LOVE Poland. ...I am excited to return soon. God bless ❤

[@eliskakossakowska8778]

I came across your vlogs today and I love it. subscibing right now

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Woooh thanks Eliska!

[@bobeczek01]

Also a question. Did you knew any Polish people before coming to Poland? Are there any living in New Zealand?

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hadn't really met too many people from Poland before visiting, not too many in NZ that we know of personally!

[@bobeczek01]

You know if your guys ever plan to go back to Poland you should visit Gniezno and Biskupin as there are some of the oldest preserved placese in our country and also in the north go see some Lakeside's in Kaszuby a very green party of our country and beautiful and in some places in between of the lakes you can find kurhany ancient Slavic burial grounds.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks for the suggestions! Thanks for watching so many vids as well

[@lukaszklimczak4671]

Hi there, this little church you have walked past near the fort has a a more interesting story and history than the fort itself, the church is a true hidden jewel in Krakow, more info for Daneger who likes discovering legends and history :-) in this link pope2016.pl/en/poland/tourism/news,444220,mysteries-of-the-st-benedicts-church-in-krakow-.html

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Oh nooo - we missed a great story there haha. Thank you!

[@grzesieeeeeeeek]

great exploring, Iot of nice history, for my also great history has Polish castles on Ukraine (Kamieniec Podolski and Chocim),it was border between Christian and Muslim world in past, time of great wars and battlest between two difrend Imperie...Ottoman and Poland:)

[@chefirr]

Guys to be precise, the tombstones you walked on were actual remains of the Schindler's List set, however the quarry itself used to be a forced labour camp during WWII, operated by Germans. Thousands of people worked there throughout the war and unfortunately, many died. The whole area is next to an actual former German concentration camp KL Plaszow and a Jewish cemetery which now can't really be seen due to war damages and purposeful destruction from the occupation forces (and, simply, time). Some of the places in that general area are marked, some aren't, there is also a big monument on the hill that you might have seen that commemorates the victims. There were different ideas and projects over the last decade or so about how to handle this place which on one hand, is beautiful, but on the other, some of it should probably be restricted from being accessed by the general public for things like picnics and drinking, out of respect. By the way, you won't see much of that happening anyway (other than people just walking or hiking or visiting the monument) because, well, over here in this part of Europe some of that respect is naturally embedded in us and taught to us both at home and in schools. Having said all that - I do not think you've done anything wrong or inappropriate however seeing like you want to learn about places you're visiting, and also for others who might be watching your videos and come to Krakow (and you are very welcome to!), I thought this could be relevant. There is a decent article on English Wikipedia where you can read more facts if you're interested. Thanks for making the videos, glad you're enjoying your stay here, you're awesome! :)

[@TravellersRelish]

I have definitely noticed Europe came with story time from Daneger. We love it and the vlog was awesome as usual

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Think story time needs to feature in every video haha

[@JofBalmonte]

Wow! I enjoyed this episode! I love the adventure! Though the place is a bit eerie. I'm not gonna go there alone lol

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Probably for the best!! Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed

[@EK-ck2xf]

Visit Wroclaw, one of the best cities in Poland. Highly recommend it

[@marcin3701]

go to Wieliczka Salt mine, your jaw will drop. There is nohing like it in the world.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We will!

[@readordienn]

There is something like workers course where they let you mine a bit of salt and take it with you.

[@daviecrockett2272]

thanks for the tip. Going to Poland in 6 weeks from Australia. Should be awesome

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Check back for our upload tomorrow - it’s from the salt mines. Highly recommend you visit. You’ll love Poland 🤘🏼

[@daviecrockett2272]

Thanks. I've enjoyed your other videos on Poland, especially glad to hear that there is a good selection of craft beer over there.

[@joshuachad]

Noooo! Dont do it! Just like in the movies, when the protagonists encounters a derelict structure and decides to investigate further, they usually never comes back out! Bad idea! 😱

[@DanegerAndStacey]

EXACTLY why we only went so far haha!

[@Alida21]

Great channel !You should visit ''Wieliczka" It's old saltmine. It's about 25 min from Kraków. Greetings!:)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

We will be soon!

[@CambodiaNomadTips]

Thanks for an awesome trip down history lane. I watched the movie many moons ago and it left a cold and sad impression on me.May history never repeat itself....

[@nonotaktak]

Hi, I'm that guy from the English bulldog, if you're in Warsaw, I invite you for a beer :)

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Thanks mate! We're only briefly in Warsaw to see some friends, but thanks for the offer!

[@maciejgruca3043]

Czy tylko ja wyłapałem to, że powiedział, że konstrukcje w kamieniołomie były wylosowane specjalnie pod fil „lista [Szindlera]” (dla nie wiedzących tam był niemiecki obóz pracy)

[@KrzysztofK1982]

Between 1795-1918 there was no country called Poland. In 1795 the country was partitioned between Prussia, Russia & the Hapsburg Empire (Austria/Hungary). Krakow was part of Austria for 123 years. It lay right on the border between the Hapsburg empire and Russia. The Austrians were expecting a war with Russia anytime so they built 3 rings of fortifications around the city and observation points. The “mounts” are observation points, the fort you went to is one of at least 50 forts built around the city by the Austrians . When WWI broke out in 1914 the Austrians has over 100 000 soldiers stationed in these forts and looked out for the Russian army from these “mounts”. What you are experiencing now is the Hapsburg/Russian war of 1914.

[@adammichalak8434]

Jest król KRAK... gdzie Wnda? Seria super 👉👍👈💗 Pozdrawiam 🇵🇱

[@ukaszkusmirek6872]

Thank You for visiting my country and being very natural people, which is a bit unusual considering other channels and vlogs. Good luck with your exploring. It really does let others think that PL is worth visiting and it truly is. My subscribe for being authentic.

[@lotstolearn5350]

Last July I liked Krynica-Zdrój, about 2 hours' drive SE of Krakov, beyond Nowy Sacz.

[@kamilkrupinski1793]

FYI - these towers in the quarry we`re not built for the film - these were industrial structures used to produce quicklime (resource needed for construction). Actual concentration camp "Płaszów" is situated just few hundred meters further east - you can still see some ruins there, and whole camp commander`s villa, there is also a monument commemorating the atrocities that happened there

[@grzegorz21136]

I can not confirm Krakus hill story but... we have Krakus vodka for sure.

[@melaimoncatar]

[@IgorJankowski]

Hi Guys! If you have still a little bit time in Poland come to Lodz/ Łódź - the most artistic place in Poland :) I'll try to help you to see something cool here!

[@ChrisJohnson-cg9sy]

Ewww that round building looks like a tower of silence where Zoroastrians leave their dead.

[@Jess-hl8me]

Quick question but is it expensive? I go in September and want to know if it's expensive because then I need to bring more money

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Hey Jessica - honestly not that bad at all compared to other spots in Europe. Watch our vlogs though for an idea, we share the costs of most things on screen and/or discuss them

[@mrbreakybee]

If you intend to go to Warsaw from Cracov, I highly recommend you to take an EIP bullet train. Please remember not travel by TLK trains. They are awfully slow. Buses to Warsaw aren't comfortable as well.

[@kajtom]

Yay, you made it! Good job on taking that sharp right turn :D Glad I could help :D

[@DanegerAndStacey]

THANK YOU!!

[@mikesaysoh6593]

Hey! I Like your Movies to!🎥 👏 👊✌ 😄😄😄👍👍👍

[@marcinerdmann5110]

The most adorable cities in Poland: 1. Toruń/Thorn - UNESCO World Heritage List, the second of the seven wonders of Poland, one of 30 most stunning places on earth 2. Gdańsk/Danzig - the most "Dutch" of Polish cities 3. Jelenia Góra/Hirschberg - one US-president called it the most beautiful city on earth 4. Grudziądz/Graudenz - the smallest city with trams 5. Bydgoszcz - the nicest Venice of Poland 6. Kraków, Tarnów, Inowrocław

[@jaszczompdrapiezny6082]

And when you will be in Jelenia Góra, you must hit Karpacz - and go on the top of Snieżka. Give me feedback so we meet in Karpacz when i come from and i will introduce some of history of this City :))

[@filmhetman8836]

You also have to check out the Salt mine in Wieliczka! one of original world heritage sites.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

Yup, will be soon! Heard such great things

[@filmhetman8836]

its next to my apartment near the children's hospital. If you like the area and get stuck you can stay in my apt. Its vacant now till I get there for the independence march in Nov.

[@bobguenther6658]

That was a little creepy. I wouldn’t have gone down that black hole either.

[@DanegerAndStacey]

That was super sketchy!

[@filmhetman8836]

Come on Ausies you have to check out the Kosciuszko mound. The highest mountain in Australia is named Kosciuszko Mount, after the honor of Kosciuszko who fought for the US independence became a hero in the US, then fought for Polish independence and then for Australian. The guy toured killing enemies of freedom world wide. Hero on 3 continents.

[@DanegerAndStacey]
