Szlak JelonkówAntoś
Antoś – a local fixture. With a backpack on his back, he settles into a minibus of one of the city lines. Maybe he is returning from a trip to Podgórzyn, or maybe heading to Sobieszów to pop up to Chojnik.
Fun fact: Many of Jelenia Góra's districts owe their shape to the bus network, which since the 1960s has linked the centre with Cieplice, Sobieszów and Goduszyn. Antoś is a tribute to the generations that grew up to the rhythm of the city lines.

Antoś is a local essential of the Szlak Jelonków trail. With a backpack on his back he settles into a city-line minibus in Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój – perhaps returning from a trip to Podgórzyn, perhaps heading to Sobieszów to hop up Chojnik. A friendly stop on the Cieplice part of the route.
Where Antoś stands
The figure is in Cieplice Śląskie-Zdrój, the most famous spa district of Jelenia Góra. It is a convenient point to begin or end a walk along the Cieplice part of the Szlak Jelonków trail.
