Departure from Gdańsk to the Castle of Teutonic Order in Malbork (UNESCO) - one of the largest and finest brick medieval castles, beautifully located on the Nogat River. The fortified monastery was the headquarters of the Master of the Teutonic Order, who moved here from Venice in the 13th c. It became one of the finest examples of the Crusading Teutonic Order architecture in Europe. After a guided tour we depart for Kanał Elbląsko-Ostórdzki. Built in the 19th century, the canal today is a historic monument of hydroengineering art and a real tourist attraction. From technical point of view, it is one of the most interesting navigation routes in Europe. The canal deals with the 99.5m difference in water levels by means of a system of slipways, locks, dams and safety gates. Five slipways permit for carrying boats across dry land on railmounted trolleys. It is unique tourist attraction of this kind in Europe. In the evening transfer to Toruń (UNESCO). Overnight.

The Old Town of Torun has one of the best preserved complexes of the medieval residential architecture, giving an idea of the life of the trading Hanzeatic city in the Middle Ages. We also enjoy some free time – for lunch or tasting gingerbread, the local product. In the afternoon departure to Warsaw. End of the tour. It is possible to stay one more night in Warsaw before departure.
