How many dwarfs are there in Wrocław
In 2025, the number of dwarfs is 1170 and continues to grow.
Not all can be found in Wrocław. Some are located outside the city, and even outside Poland. Some were gifted by the city to local governments of other cities, some are placed in various locations by grassroots initiatives. They all share the same style and are made by local sculptors.
Where did the Wrocław dwarfs come from?
The Wrocław dwarfs have their roots in the Polish resistance movement against the communist regime, particularly in the activities of the "Orange Alternative". The Orange Alternative was a satirical movement that began its activities in the 1980s. It used an absurd and humorous way of expressing opposition to the communist authorities of that time. One of the symbols of the Orange Alternative was a dwarf. In 1982, the movement organized the "Dwarfs Revolution", during which members painted graffiti in the shape of dwarfs on walls, covering up propaganda slogans of the authorities. Dwarfs became a symbol of resistance and disagreement with the repressive methods used by the communist government. In 2001, Wrocław sculptor Tomasz Moczek created the first three bronze dwarfs commissioned by the city authorities to commemorate the history of the Orange Alternative. Since then, the number of dwarfs in Wrocław has begun to grow, and these small sculptures have become not only a symbol of the resistance movement, but also a tourist attraction and one of the most characteristic elements of the city. Currently there are over 1170 dwarfs, which are maintained in various styles and represent different characters, professions and situations, reflecting the creativity and spirit of the city.
Are there similar games in other cities?
Yes, in Zielona Góra you can collect Bachusiki, in Krakow Dragons , and in Katowice Beboki. Points earned in all these games combine into one common ranking.
In 2025, we also prepared our newest app Small Legends, which already includes over 70 cities and towns throughout Poland. These are usually smaller trails, sometimes with just a few figurines, but allowing you to explore and have fun in many corners of our beautiful country.
