Gnome with a Padlock: close-up

He is one of two dwarves guarding the historic Tumski Bridge, known as the “Lovers’ Bridge”, which connects Sand Island with Ostrów Tumski (Cathedral Island). Due to an excessive number of padlocks hung on it by lovers, the 19th-century monument was in danger of being severely damaged. The dwarf quickly dealt with the padlocks, and the city provided a WROClovka bench for lovers near the bridge on Włostowica Boulevard.
