Vistula Pleasure Cruise

This is the pleasure boat Wanda which takes tourists on daily trips up and down Toruń's stretch of the River Vistula. Apart from her and the odd canoe, there really isn't much other traffic on Poland's longest and most well-known river.

The Frozen Vistula

With temperatures reaching as low as minus 18 in the past few weeks...it's not surprising that the River Vistula is frozen! The third image shows a small pool in the middle of the River which the local birds have turned into a bath!

The View

This is the view from the leaning tower looking across towards the Vistula.

Ferry Across the Vistula

For years there has been a boat ferrying Torunians across the small stretch of the Vistula to see the picture postcard panoramic view of the old town. This is the original Katarzynka ferry which is now a static historical monument. During the summer months you can hop on its replacement which is called originally...Katarzynka II!!

River Relaxation

When the sun is shining and the weather is warm...there is no better place to relax than by the glistening waters of the River Vistula. This young couple know exactly where to hang out.

Relaxing by the River

The sun is out, the skies are blue...and sping is back in town! The bulwar along the banks of the River Vistula was busy yesterday with people relaxing and soaking up the sun. It won't be long now until the pub barges get moored up and the beer gardens will appear!
