zuraw

二月的时候我和男友一起来看起重机。拿了游客卡,海洋博物馆里的前台接待员建议我们去看。我们进去的时候,只有我们在博物馆里,到每一层,总有一个员工一直盯着我们,就好像我们要偷东西似的。不是很有趣!所有带着信息的匾都来自波兰,不过中途一张英文信息表吸引了我们,告诉我们什么是起重机!每间房间里都有,但我们不怎么在意!没有花太长时间看-从进们倒出来移动花了15分钟。

来回Motława River去博物馆买Żuraw的门票非常不方便。然而,步行至Browar Gdańsk,喝一杯啤酒,然后买票,乘坐免费轮渡回来。Żuraw最棒的是进里面之后爬到最高处观看各个组成的零部件。

“族饶(Zuraw)作为一个丹顶鹤生活的木质地点的最早文献记载是在1367。原先的结构由于一场大火而遭到了破坏,现在所看到的是在15世纪中期重建的。过去很大的丹顶鹤常常放在船只上的桅杆上装货。二战的时候,这的地方被破坏了,只有百分之六十的砖砌的部分保留了下来。战后,族饶(Zuraw)得到了重建并且交由博物馆管理。现在你可以看见不同的展览,详细的介绍整个格但斯克港口的历史。这些丹顶鹤是海事博物馆的一个分支。族饶(Zuraw)夏天从早上10点到下午6点对游客开放-周六免费!”

起重机看着非常有趣。1939年9月Gdansk的纪录片里还有这台起重机-这是第二次世界大战残存的遗迹。那时的高科技和创新真令人叹为观止。

这里是该博物馆一块较小的区域,有一层专门用来展示大部分来自于第三世界的水运工具,让人眼前一亮。还有一层有许多互动展出,专门供孩子们玩耍的。

a great and unexpected surprised to find i really enjoyed this interesting tourist attraction if i had more time in gdansk i would have went again

The waterfront is dominated by this structure, and is a symbol of the Old Mercantile Town, which made its' trade from the sea. The cost like all museums in the city is minimal (NOTE: all museums are closed on Monday). There are plenty of steps to climb and the exhibits on each floor are intresting although can be a little confusing as the cards can be difficult to follow. The attendants are super vigilant and hover about you. it's as though you are going to steal something. the best bit is getting in amongst the workings of the crane and the views over the river.

The crane is one of the most photographed sights in Gdansk and if you are there on holiday, then you really must go inside & have a look around. The fee is very small and combines tickets with the adjoining maritime museum. Once inside the crane, there are a few steps to climb, but the view from the top is quite good. There weren't many people inside when we visited but I can imagine in the height of summer, it gets quite busy. I would put it on your 'to do' list when visiting Gdansk. After all, its a significant part of the history.

For £4 each this museum, including the Maritime museum is excellent value for money. The museum is extensive and very well present. The only complaint I have is that the guide books at the start of each section can be a little difficult to follow as all of the displays are labelled in Polish. All the same it is a very informative museum.

I visited as part of my visiting everything I could in Gdansk and this was part of a wonderful trip. Well worth visiting.

An attractive and interesting waterfront area with the giant crane, nice looking restaurants, mixture on newly developed and undeveloped areas across the river

This was absolutely flattened during WWII. Now it looks amazing : hats off, an amazing rebuild. Not a tourist trap at all.IT IS FREE

On a bank of river stands this incredible building with overhanging black wooden part. This is the oldest port monument, it dates back to 14th century and unifies functions of a city gate and a port crane, which is powered by two 6-meter drums with 4 people inside each and was used to embark beer and many other functions. It's know as Zuraw (Polish for Crane) and there's a vane in the shape of crane bird at the top. During WW2 it was burned down and almost completely destroyed but later was restored. Now it's the main city's point of interest and beloved symbol. You can hear people talking about Zuraw everywhere in the streets.

What a crane! A weird shaped building sort of overhangs the quayside and this is the thing I remember most when I think of the city. Hard to get a proper photo of it as everyone gathers round about and gets in your way.

As we were a little short of time, this is the only section of the Maritime Museum (closed on Mondays) that we opted to see (a ticket for this part only, which can be purchased in the Maritime Center next door, costs 8 zl.). Alongside the actual crane (in reality two cranes), the building also houses a small exhibit, and the whole thing can be quite comfortably seen in under an hour.The crane, a structure made entirely of wood, was originally built in the 14th century and renovated in the mid-15th century. Like most of Gdansk, it was destroyed towards the end of WWII and painstakingly reconstructed in the decades that followed. Each crane was operated by men walking in two massive circular treadmills on either side of it, and could lift up to two tonnes, the top crane to a height of about 90 feet (27 meters). You can get very close to the mechanism during the visit and get a good sense of how it worked. The only slight drawback is that the inscriptions in the exhibit are in Polish only, although we didn't find this to be a major handicap.The Gdansk crane is truly one-of-a-kind, and we were really glad that we took the time to take a good look. People with restricted mobility should note however that the tour does involve walking up and down some rather steep and narrow stairways.
