Around the World with 80 GHz – We Love Radar ... and Poland

When traveling through northern Poland, there’s one thing that really catches the eye right away: the stark contrast between grey, concrete dominated suburbs and beautifully restored old towns and historic buildings. Our first stop in Poland late at night was an impressive experience. Suddenly we were standing near a huge cultural monument, one of the most significant and beautiful in the country. Impressively staged in warm floodlight, the imposing castle in Gniew loomed up in front of us – complete with hotel grounds. Fortunately, my Polish colleagues were on hand with the needed history knowledge: Gniew castle, known in German as Mewe, once belonged, along with Marienburg Castle, to the centre of the mighty Teutonic Order.
