Wawel Hill in Krakow
The Wawel Hill is a place of magic and mystery, where time has stopped in the walls of the Renaissance castle, in tales and stories, on the cloistered courtyard and in the royal chambers, by the dragon standing at the foot of the Wawel Castle at the picturesque Vistula bend.
According to Hindu mythology, inside the Wawel Hill there is one of the seven Earth's Chakra points. Hindu esoteric thinkers claim that every Chakra is part of a powerful energy field which connects all living things. These energy centers are believed to possess an extraordinary power. The other points are in Delhi, Mecca, Delphi, Jerusalem, Rome, and Velehrad. The “magic stone” was to be situated under the St. Geron Crypt in the northwest corner of the Wawel's courtyard. No one has been able to point at specific “energy rock”, but believers stand with their heads, backs, hands and heels against the wall of the crypt...
Apart from that, Wawel has the power to attract people by its charm, being the pride of Krakow and its residents, and - next to the Main Market Square - the most visited place in this famous city.
The Wawel Castle is situated on a hill above the Vistula river in the heart of the city. From the hill, the visitors can admire urban panorama of the historic town: Bernardynska and Smocza streets, embankments of the Vistula, the river bend, Dębniki district, a large mound created in honor of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, Zwierzyniecka street, Planty - a city park surrounding old town, and the beginning of Grodzka Street - part of the Royal Route to the Main Market Square.
