Wroclaw dwarfs - the one with big balls.

ENPL
Wroclaw (Poland) is a city rules by dwarves. You can read online if you are interested about the history and how it all started many years ago. I just try to find new ones every time I visit.Wrocław zajęły krasnale. Mozecie sami poczytać jeśli chcecie o ich historii i od czego sie wszystko zaczelo. Ja tylko szukam nowych przy każdej wizycie.
Last time I checked there was over 400 of them already scattered around the town. Now I looked for the number again... over 600? I have some catching up to do :pOstatnio jak sprawdzałam, było ich ponad 400 rozsianych po całym mieście. W tej chwili jest ich już… ponad 600? Mam sporo do nadrobienia :p
The highest concentration is of course in the city center and the surrounding areas. But they do appear in different parts close to important building or spots.Najwięcej jest ich oczywiście w samym centrum i w bocznych uliczkach. Ale można je spotkać przy różnych ważnych budynkach.
Today I have two from the heart of the city.Dzisiaj mam dwa z samego serca miasta.


Krasnal Orzeźwiacz



krasnale rynek 1.jpg

ENPL
It was the first time I saw this one (unlike some others that I am already familiar with). Standing tall right in the very center watching the crowd passing by. I was wondering what the balls are for as they don't look just like a decoration.Tego gagatka widziałam po raz pierwszy (z innymi już się znamy). Stoi on w samym centrum i obserwuje przewijający się tłum ludzi. Zastanawiało mnie do czego mu takie wielkie kule.
Here is the answer: In summer when it hot they will shoot out refreshing mist. I didn't catch that and this next photograph is not mine, but I wanted to show how it's done.A oto i odpowiedź: Latem gdy jest gorąco rozpyla nimi przyjemnie chłodzącą mgiełkę. Sama tego nie widziałam, ale są zdjęcia. To poniżej nie jest moje - chciałam pokazać jak to wygląda.

I actually think there are two like that on both sides of the center (unless they move him around). My one is in a different spot than the one above.Wydaje mi się, że są takie dwa postawione w centrum (chyba, że go przenoszą). Ten z moich zdjęć stoi po drugie stronie rynku.

Now look again at the photo above. Far in the back a woman in beige jacked is kneeling next to another 3 little guys.Spójrzcie na powyższe zdjęcie jeszcze raz. W tle jest kucająca pani w beżowym kubraczku. A kuca ona do kolejnych trzech krasnali.


Głuchak, Ślepak i W-Skers


krasnale rynek 6.jpg

ENPL
These are three disabled dwarfs: deaf, blind and on a wheelchair. They are supposed to make sure that the city is adjusted for the disabled citizens. They are standing right under the town hall.Są to trzy niepełnosprawne krasnale: głuchy, niewidomy i na wózku inwalidzkim. Mają zadbać o to, by miasto było przystosowane dla osób niepełnosprawnych. Ta trójca usadowiła się pod samym ratuszem.
You can notice that they all (the one with balls too) have very shiny hats. That's from all the people constantly polish (no pun intended :p) them.Zauważcie jakie mają wypolerowane czapeczki (ten z kulkami też). To przez to, że ludzie ciągle podchodzą i je polerują :p

Hahaha, no intended pun bit still so funny 🤣🤣🤣

When I was in the middle school we went to one excursion to Verona in Italy. The statue of Juliet was shiny too, especially the parts where people used to hug her and make photos with the statue 😅

That would be cool to find and photograph them all.

I wonder if anyone wants to stand or near the dwarf when it ejecting the mist in the summer. : )

Plenty of people:) And especially kids love to run in and out when it is so hot. It's very refreshing.

I don't think I will even be able to get all 600! But I'd say some people do try.
It is still fun to look for them + you get to see the city.

We got a bunch of dragons hiding in our capital city
Just got an idea, maybe I'll go explore on Monday and find more than 3 dragons
Fun fact : in Slovenia, we do have animals called "baby dragons"

Quite an attention getting title! 😂😂😂
Then this nicely done follow up made me chuckle...

I was wondering what the balls are for as they don't look just like a decoration.

An excellent post filled with stunning images and historic information about Poland. I never knew about the hundreds of dwarfs throughout your beautiful country. 🇵🇱

Enjoy the test of your weekend! @ewkaw💓

Hahahaha he asked for it! 😂

I am glad you liked it! You should definitely visit one day and catch some yourself. I don't visit too often but I see new ones every time. Just have to look around corners, close to walls and all kinds of hidden places.

Have an awesome weekend :)

(Sorry for the late reply, I am terribly late this week)

@ewkaw, beauty! Gnomes as fabulous or mythical characters. I can’t even believe that the gnome is a fictional character once by someone. I see gnomes in many places, like figurines, as if they really exist.
