Polish tradition

| Kulig in Gorce Mountains, February 2006 | |
Kulig (sleigh rides) is an old Polish winter tradition dating back to the days of the szlachta (nobility).
The kulig was a sleigh ride party organized among the Polish aristocracy. A cavalcade of horse-pulled sleighs and sleds went from one manor house to another, entertained everywhere with hearty meals followed by dancing.
Nowadays Kulig rides are a popular tourist attraction in the Polish Tatra mountains, advertised and practiced in places such as Zakopane.
