Kraków Lajkonik, Nativity contest, and Tatra redyk

In Lesser Poland, living folklore thrives across Kraków and the Podhale highlands. In Kraków, the historic Lajkonik hobby-horse procession takes place on the first Thursday after Corpus Christi, while December brings the UNESCO-listed Kraków Nativity Scene contest (Szopki Krakowskie). In the Tatras, Goral highlanders celebrate seasonal sheep migrations (redyk).

Winter holidays bring major tourism to southern ski resorts including Zakopane, Krynica-Zdrój, and Szczawnica.
