The Amber Track
Why Should You Join In?
Discover the amazing gold of the North! Amber is recognised mostly as jewellery but its properties are used in cosmetics and medicine as well. The inhabitants of Gdansk have always appreciated amber and its properties that are good for health. The tradition of manufacturing this precious stone in the town by the Motlava River goes back to the 10th century A.D. The residents of Gdansk were the authors of the famous Amber Chamber, lost during World War II. Gdansk was also the city where the Amber Track originated from. Thanks to it, the Baltic Gold was transported to the most remote parts of Europe. You will discover golden, albeit forgotten, side of the town and feel its magical atmosphere. Our guide will take you to the most beautiful must-see places for every amber lover.
