Nova Huta

The second day we were a little late for Auschwitz so we decided to ask our local hostel lady for placed to visit !
So she made a map and off we were to NovaHuta some 7-8 kms from Krakow!

She'd made a tank from the second world war on the map she gave us ... we cudn't find that anywhere in the town ... but we did find this ... maybe from some war in BC ?
