From the sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century sleigh rides were a very popular entertainment for both the nobility and the middle class, for whom they were a patriotic event, after the partitions of Poland organized in spite of the invaders as a cultivation of Polish national tradition. The sleigh ride was headed by a ringleader, traditionally known as Arlekin, whose task was to plan the route of the sleigh ride in such a way as to bring together feuding noble families in the event of a joint military action against the invaders. Such a sleigh ride could last up to a dozen days. Today in Szczawnica, you have the opportunity to relive the splendour of organised sleigh rides of the past, where a highland guide will tell you an amazing forgotten part of the history of Szczawnica.
