CATCHING DWARFS IN WROCLAW

Wroclaw is built on 12 islands on the Odra River. There you can walk he South Park, one of the biggest Wrocław parks, enjoy the shows of the Wroclaw’s fountain and while discovering the city, catching dwarfs. In Wroclaw you can find more than three hundred dwarf statues. The origin is in the communist years; in the 80’s a group of oppositors started to draw dwarf graffitis on top of the anti-communist signs that were constantly erased by the authorities. In 2005 the city ordered five small dwarf statues to adorn the main touristy sights of Wroclaw’s old town. They were an instant hit and soon the city demanded more and more dwarfs, each one representing a different profession or an aspect of everyday life.
