the road to heaven

A post-industrial building in the current center of science and technology (formerly heat and power plant No. 1 in Łódź).

The cooling tower after revitalization serves as the base of the Foucault pendulum (a pendulum that can swing in any vertical plane. The slow change of the plane of the pendulum's motion relative to the Earth proves its rotation around its axis. The name of the pendulum commemorates its inventor, Jean Bernard Léon Foucault, who demonstrated it in February 1851 at the Paris Astronomical Observatory.

At the top of the former cold store there is an observation deck from where you can see one of the most interesting panoramas of the city of Łódź.
