Krakus Mound

This guide to Krakus Mound in Kraków tells the legend behind the earthen hill: the dragon-slaying founder-king Krakus, said to be buried here after grieving Kraków residents carried the whole mound up by the sleeveful, one handful of earth at a time. It turns to what archaeologists went looking for when they finally dug into the mound in the 1930s. You'll hear how old the mound might really be, and what its makers seem to have known about the sky. Time a visit for dawn on the first of May.
