The germanic myth goes like this...

Lukas is writing:

Creation of the world
First there was nothing, no earth, no ocean, no sky
there was just a huge chasm which was called Ginnungagap.
in the big space that there was lived a allmighty mystical ghost called Fimbultyr. He decided to create a foggy empire in the north, which was called Nifelheim, and a empire of fire in the south which was called Muspelheim.
In the cold Nifelheim a spring originated: Hwergelmir. From this spring there came 12 streams which all floated into the huge gap and freezed there.After thousands of years the gap got fuller and fuller of ice.
Meanwhile there was the king of Muspelheim, Surtur, sitting and watching how the fire sparks from his empire mixed with the waterdrops of the spring in Nifelheim and by this created a giant which was called Ymir. With Ymir a second creature originated: the cow Audhumbla, whose milk was there to nurish Ymir.
One day a son came out under one arm of Ymir, and under the other arm a daughter arose. From these two the family of the Hrimthursen arose, the giants.
The cow was licking the salty ice blocks in the gap and after three days of licking a big, strong und beautiful man came out of the ice: Buri. He created a son by himself, Bör, and Bör created three sons which all were godlike: Odin, Hönir, Loki.
These sons went to fight the family of Ymir for leadership of Nifelheim.
They killed Ymir and in his blood his complete family except of two drowned. These two survivors got on a boat, sailed away and became the ancestors of the follwing giant families.
The three sons threw the body of Ymir into the gap and by this the world was created: from his flesh the earth originated, his teeth became stones, his hair became trees, his skull became the sky and his brain the clouds. With his eyebrows the land and the ocean were separated.
On the northern islands the three giants settled down and called themselves the "Columns of the World" from nowon, the middle they called Midgard, where the humans should live.
The creation of man
So now there was sky and earth and clouds and ocean but it was still dark, so Odin and his brothers took the fireflames from Surturs fire empire, put them into the sky and thereby created the stars. A big star which was the sunwagon was from now on driven by a girl, another big star, the moonwagon, was driven by her brother. Night and Day and time were created.
Under the sunbeams Midgard began to grow forests and flowers and big and small animals. The only thing missing were the humans.
So one day during a walk at the beach Odin and his brothers came by two trees, an ash tree and an elm tree. And out of the ash they created a man, out of the elm a woman. Odin gave them spirit and live, Hönir gave them mind and movement, Loki gave them senses, emotions, colours and language.
So the first two human beings stood in front of the three giants and Odin pointed over Midgard and said: Look. This land is your home. Here you will live, domesticate animals, farm the land and eat the fruits of the trees and the fields, you and your children and their children. And so they did and all germanic people descend from them.
As far as I can tell by the pictures you made of the place in Legnica it is beautiful. The right place for stories and myths.
