Dachshund parade in Cracow- September, 10
For one day every year, Cracow is ruled by our four-legged friends, or more specifically, dachshunds. Cracow has about as many sausage-shaped dogs as it does sausage shops. In other words, thousands.
One Sunday each Autumn, denizens of dachshunds descend on St. Florian's Gate, the ancient entrance to the city. From there - dressed in a dizzying array of dapper costumes from pirates to cowboys - the jovial woofers follow the Royal Way to the Market Square, humans in tow. It's a marvellously potty spectacle.
