Tips from the Community

Beyond the Horizon
October 10, 2024, Avenue of Wooden Sculptures in Małdyty

On my hike through the picturesque Polish countryside, I unexpectedly came across a curious collection of wooden sculptures standing by the side of the road. The carved figures represent a colorful mixture of mythological and folk motifs - from gods to rural scenes. Each figure seems to tell its own story and gives the place something primal, almost fairytale-like. The craftsmanship that goes into these carvings is particularly impressive. You can see that traditional wood carving art is lovingly maintained here.

Dock for kayaks. Allegedly also bivouac; but there wasn't much to see of that in 8/2021.
