The River of Treasures

For more than three centuries, the Vistula River kept the fate of a most precious Polish treasure to herself. Our team searched for the royal trove in archives and underwater. But the river played her own game, and it took us more than ten years to realize that the Vistula reveals its secrets only on its own terms. This is not the story of a treasure hunt. It's the story of real exploration.
