Krakow Hotels with Transfer

Everyday a trumpeter gets upstairs and in direction of the four corners of the earth fly the sounds of 'Hejnal', the musical symbol of Krakow. This ritual is more than 750 years old, this way the memory about the watch, who died in the 13th century while giving the danger signal, is kept. It's such an old tradition, that at 12 a.m. the sounds from St Mary's Church are translated by radio all over Poland.
