| Welcome to Wroclaw |
the kids are much closer to the ground. You’d
think that it would be easy to find many of these 400 statues, but that’s not
the case! They eluded us at every turn. We finally bought a map only to learn
that the little beasties had changed locations, or simply vanished; and there
were many more that weren’t on the map at all! The Gnomes of Wroclaw (or Dwarfs
as they are called locally) are two-foot tall statues that lend great whimsy to
the city and captivate visitors into seeing the sights by going on a Gnome
hunt. Their history, however, is much more political.
