Giewont - The Sleeping Knight

The mountain Giewont, towering over Zakopane, looks like a sleeping knight. Although it is not the highest peak in the Tatra Mountains, it is definitely the most popular! There has long been a legend about a treasure hidden in the corridors of this mountain massif:

Once upon a time, a young shepherd named Kuba was grazing his sheep in the meadows around Giewont. He had also heard from his father stories about a treasure hidden in the mysterious-looking mountain. One day, one of Kuba's sheep went missing. While searching for it, the boy came to one of Giewont's caves, where he saw sleeping knights.

After returning home, the boy told his father about his adventure:

"You know, Dad," he said, "there was no treasure, only those knights..."

"And that is our treasure, boy! That treasure is freedom. Those knights, enchanted in the rocks, guard our freedom, and freedom, my boy, is the greatest treasure! Remember that!"
