Hunting for dwarfs! (No dwarfs were harmed)
Hello Steemians! Today I'd like to continue sharing more information about Wroclaw, Poland. Previously, I told you about the Market Square and the Old Town Hall; I also tried to share my impression about the city. The sunny streets of this city are always bustling with citizens and tourists, but there are others, who silently hide in the corners of the city centre. Sometimes you can see them straightaway; sometimes it takes a lot of time, attention and patience to find them. And I am talking about the dwarfs!
The bronze figures of dwarfs started to appear in 2001. Currently, it is said that there are more than 200 figures of dwarfs and it's difficult to find all of them. Every single dwarf has a name and is believed to have his own specific function in the city: banker or firefighter, guardian or musician, lawyer or smith... The best thing is seeking them all over the streets with a map. There are also special tours that offer you such quests or, as it might be called, the hunting for dwarfs.
My husband an I decided to make the hunt on our own and we bought a map with locations of those dwarfs. We were lucky to find many of them.
When you're in Wroclaw, try varying your walks with seeking those lovely guys; You can look for them with friends or make a competition on who finds more by a certain time! In any case, you'll have a lot of fun!
Two years ago I was in Wroklaw and I had so much fun taking pictures of these little creatures! Wonderful city, awesome people, I'll come back there some day :)
Great you loved the city too! It's a wonderful place:)
I love public artwork and anything that gives me a good challenge - if it's hunting dwarves, so be it! What a cool concept. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
Glad that you like the concept! I remember how difficult was looking for some of them. We were standing at the place marked on the map, but there was no dwarf. It was on a lamp post!
