Bochnia, Petr Weber's birthplace.
This is a photo of the small town where I was born - Bochnia, Poland. Bochnia is near Krakow, which is a well-known region where there are salt mines.
When I was in school they were still teaching about the Bochnia and Wieliczka salt mines. I myself of course don't remember anything from my childhood in Bochnia.
