Dwarf hunting in Wroclaw

How do you make a city very attractive to young children? You place several hundred dwarfs spread over the entire territory. That is how the Polish city of Wroclaw reasoned and immediately they had a new tourist attraction. The 'dwarf hype' has now grown into a real quest through the city. You can even get a map at various souvenir shops and tourist offices. Of course, the dwarves in Wroclaw owe their existence to the history of the city. By the 1980s, communism was still in power in Poland. In some cities, including Wroclaw, this was accompanied by fierce resistance. The Orange Alternative Movement was a nonviolent protest movement that stood out in a very special way. The members walked through Wroclaw dressed as dwarfs and also drew dwarfs through the streets. Of course there was nothing illegal about that. These absurd actions contributed to the fall of communism in Poland. In 2001, a first statue of a dwarf was unveiled in memory of this heroic protest. 'Papa Dwarf' has now become a real hero and has been joined by more than 400 other dwarfs. You will undoubtedly encounter a lot of them during your citytrip to the Polish city of Wroclaw. #fallingforfall #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #poland #wroclaw #dwarf #city #attraction #childrenfun #children #familytravel #familytime
