Geocache Description:

It is our first cache in Poland. Please use stealth mode in the daytime, it can be crowded.

Płock is one of the most important cities in Mazovia.

There are not too many caches here, but we think it is a lovely city and it deserves more caches.


Location

 

There are a lot of attractions. The most important historic sites are located on the Vistula River embankment, which has for centuries been known as the Tumskie Hill (Wzgórze Tumskie).

The high bank of the river offers an amazing view on wide waters of the Vistula River (due to the dam in Włocławek). On the other side of the River is the district Radziwie with the largest river shipyard in Poland. On the horizon you can see the dark patch of forests of the Gostynin Lake District.

Overlooking the Wzgórze Tumskie (Cathedral Hill) are the Gothic towers of the Castle of Mazovian Dukes of 14th century. The lower tower is called a Noble Tower while the taller one, covered with the rounded Baroque dome is called the Clock Tower.

The Płock Cathedral is also located at Wzgórze Tumskie (Cathedral Hill).

Cache

The container is a small size micro cache. The hiding place is located near to the small park. Not far away from the ground zero there is a nice viewpoint to the Castle and the Vistula (N 52° 32.551' E 019° 41.148').
