Inhabitants are worried about one of the most famous attractions of Krakow: the Wawel Dragon, who … stopped breathing fire. This time of year, the flames should appear every few minutes, but they don’t. What happened? Has there been any major failure? It turns out not. The gas installation is not working properly due to a power cut caused by the renovation of the dragon’s lair.
The Wawel Dragon is a landmark of Krakow, as well as a tourist attraction. His bronze sculpture was made by Bronisław Chromy in 1969. According to the original concept, the dragon was to be partially submerged in the waters of the Vistula. However, it was found that the rubbish carried by the river current would settle on the sculpture. Finally, he stood on a stone boulder at the entrance to the Dragon’s Den.
It was its renovation that – as reported by rmf24.pl – that the dragon stopped breathing fire in recent days.
This renovation means that the wardrobe that controls the dragon is not supplied with electricity. When there is no electricity, the entire gas system does not work
