Legend / Legenda

Between Gorzeszow and Olszyny Glazy Krasnoludkow are located. They were inhabited by tiny dwarfs. They were 2 feet height, and the legs they had were so funny made that looked like geese legs. All the dwarfs had long beards and were dressed in long grey coats and hoods. They were very timid and it was particularly hard to find them. Although everytime they met a human, they salute them, they were not as much friendly as dwarfs from Kruczy Kamien (next to Lubawka). The following example can prove it: During the sunny, beautiful autumn day some farmer was working on a field. The dwarf came to him. He wanted to marry farmer's daughter. The farmer replied sneeringly: "How could you with your ugly feet ask my daughter to marry you? Furthermore she's tall but you're tiny!" The dwarf was very angry, he jumped and slapped the farmer in his face. Then he run away. It took a while before the farmer recover and realized what had happened. He went back home having bad feelings about his daughter. It turned out that she was not at home. Everyone was looking for her for many days. They realised that she had gone forever. Was it the dwarf that carried her away? [source of the legend: information plate on a parking space. Translation into english: me]
Miedzy Gorzeszowem a Olszynami leza Glazy Krasnoludkow, ktore byly zamieszkale przez calkiem male krasnale. Byly one wysokie na miare dwoch stop, a stopy na ktorych chodzily byly tak smiesznie stworzone ze przypominaly gesie. Wszystkie krasnale nosily dlugie brody i ubieraly sie zazwyczaj w szare plaszcze i kaptury. Krasnale te byly bardzo plochliwe i pokazywaly sie ludziom jedynie przelotnie. I chociaz przy kazdym spotkaniu serdecznie pozdrawialy czlowieka, nie byly takie dobre jak krasnale z Kruczego Kamienia (kolo Lubawki). Pokazuje to nastepujacy przypadek: Pewnego pieknego jesiennego dnia, pewien rolnik pracowal na swoim polu. Zblizyl sie do niego krasnal. Zapragnal on poslubic corke gospodarza. Ten jednak odpowiedzial na pytanie szyderczo: "Jak moglbys ze swymi szkaradnymi stopami prosic o reke mej corki? Poza tym ona jest duza, a Ty jestes zupelnym malcem!" Na te slowa krasnal tak sie rozgniewal, ze skoczyl wysoko, wymierzyl gospodarzowi porzadnego policzka i natychmiast uciekl. Trwalo dluzsza chwile jak gospodarz doszedl znow do zmyslow i uprzytomnil sobie, co sie wlasciwie stalo. Przejety poszedl zaraz do domu, majac zle przeczucia odnosnie corki. Okazalo sie, ze nigdzie nie mozna jej znalezc, wszyscy szukali jej przez wiele dni. Ku wielkiemu bolowi i cierpieniu okazalo sie, ze przepadla ona na zawsze. Czy porwal ja krasnal?

How to get there / Jak trafic

From the village Gorzeszow follow the signs "rezerwat przyrody glazy krasnoludkow". Last kilometer is a dirt road so please leave your Ferrari at home (but you don't need to take a SUV, normal car is perfectly OK). On the spot there is a nice, quite big parking space. Snow is removed in winter from the road from time to time, but it is possible that parking in the village will be the only choice.
Od strony Gorzeszowa dojazd za znakami na rezerwat. Ostatni kilometr drogi to polna droga szutrowa, takze zostawcie swoje Ferrari w domu (chociaz nie musicie przyjezdzac Jeepem, zwykly samochod zdecydowanie przejedzie). Na miejscu pojemny parking. W zimie droga jest czasami odsniezana ale moze sie zdarzyc ze trzeba bedzie zostawic samochod we wsi.
