The event takes place from Saturday 18 July until Thursday 30 July. The fee is 300(+50)€.
Make this summer mystical - dive into the heart of Slavic mythology and experience Poland like a true adventurer wandering between ancient forests, sacred hills and stories whispered by firelight 🔥🏞
Fill your days with magical experiences and your evenings with energy that will make you feel like the hero of your own Slavic saga 🧚♀️
Start your journey in Kraków, explore the lands once ruled by kings and spirits, learn the secrets of old gods, and celebrate under the stars during nights full of magic and music 🏰🎶
What can you expect? 👀
🌆 Discover Kraków through adventurous city tours, castle visits and lakeside escapes. Feel the atmosphere of ancient streets, climb legendary mounds, explore caves and wander places where stories about leshy, strzygas and water spirits still live on in local legends.
🔥 Experience the power of Slavic culture during mythology workshops, folk dance sessions, traditional cooking, and our very own Slavic Festival - Perunica. You’ll learn how people once explained thunder, fate, love and fear - and how these myths shaped the region.
🌄 Set off on a journey to Wieliczka - the town with the legendary salt mine, a place that could easily lie along the path of witcher contracts. Among quiet streets and old townhouses, you’ll feel the echo of ancient tales about salt spirits, lost miners, and creatures the locals say are best avoided after dusk.
⚠️ But beware, brave traveler!
This adventure is for those who aren’t afraid of a bit of walking, exploring, and stepping into the unknown. Whether it’s a hike to Krak’s Mound, kayaking down a river, or wandering through the forest at dusk… magic always hides just around the corner.
🎨 Unleash your creativity artistic workshops. Paint, act, craft and create, by the end of the event you’ll be ready to embrace your inner storyteller, guardian, or mythical hero.
