Szlak JelonkówWitalis
Witalis – the motorcyclist deer. On a chopper, in a yellow scarf, with his hooves on the handlebars, he greets everyone he meets with a wide smile – just like people on the road, for whom a greeting is part of the journey.
Fun fact: The biker's greeting – two fingers pointed downward – is a wish to keep your wheels on the ground. The Karkonosze and the Jelenia Góra Valley are one of the most popular motorcycling destinations in Poland – the hairpins over the Karkonosze Pass and road 366 are a classic of every season.
