Szlak JelonkówWiolinek
Wiolinek – a violinist little deer. With a violin in his hooves he plays exercises, études and first concerts – the kind you hear through the open windows of the state music school.
Fun fact: The State Music School of the 1st and 2nd degree in Jelenia Góra has operated since 1948 and is one of the most important music institutions in Lower Silesia. The violin – alongside the piano – is the hardest instrument to master: pupils begin at the age of five and practise several hours every day.
