INTERNATIONAL LUMBERJACK COMPETITION IN BOBROWA

For 20 years now, at the beginning of July, the forests in Bobrowa (Rudniki Municipality) have been transformed into a competition arena for lumberjacks from Poland and abroad. The competition for the title of best lumberjack takes place in a logging area in the forest and at a recreation and sports ground, where fitness competitions are organised. In addition to the competition, contestants also present non-standard use of the chainsaw in a spectacular wood-carving competition. The event is organised by the Bobrowa Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Municipal Centre for Culture and Sport in Rudniki. Importantly, the competition is also a qualifier for the Polish Lumberjack Championships. The event is accompanied by numerous games and competitions for children, organised, among others, by the Olesno Forest District Office, as well as artistic performances and additional attractions.

The event won the Best Tourist Product – OROT Certificate 2009.
