Wrocław

The first dwarf statue was installed in 2001 in Świdnicka Street to commemorate the Polish anti-communist underground movement Orange Alternative, whose symbol was a dwarf. Some years later smaller dwarf statues, each with their own theme, appeared and they can now be found all over the city.

An impressive artwork by Jerzy Kalina, this sculpture which has two parts, each to one side of Świdnicka, shows people going underground or coming from underground (depending on the side of the street you are at). The artwork builds on Kalina's 1977 installation "Transition" and was inaugurated in 2005. It likely makes reference to the martial law period in Poland and symbolizes people coming back to the public after being underground. The sculpture led to discussions and has been recognized internationally.

On the bank of Oława river is a masterpiece of design, but left forgotten for decades. After few years of restoration it's now a true gem especially worth visiting in April when wetland flowers are blooming or autumn when vegetation turns into picturesque blend of reds, yellows and gold. As it borders semi-wild forests and has plenty of water, you may even watch swans taking care of their nests just few meters from the walking path.
