Piernikarka, która podobno zzieleniała z zazdrości, kiedy posmakowała piernik lepszy niż z jej wypieków. Taka legenda, a pirnikarka stoi i wita gości tego pięknego miasta.

The Pomnik Piernikarki Toruńskiej (Gingerbread Women of Toruń) is a charming monument that beautifully captures the essence of the city’s gingerbread heritage. It's a lovely tribute to the women who have been making Toruń’s famous gingerbread for centuries. The statue adds a bit of character to the city and is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

The Monument of the Toruń Gingerbread Woman is a charming statue located in the Old Town of Toruń. It honors the city’s long tradition of gingerbread making.
