Skarby Górali - Kliszczaccy

Highlanders
Kliszczaccy
Kliszczak highlanders, or Kliszczaks, inhabit lands encircled by Maków Podhalański, Jordanów and Rabka-Zdrój, and are particularly prevalent near Tokarnia, Skomielna Czarna, Pcim and Lubnia. They owe their name to the characteristic slit at the trouser leg bottom edge – the so-called kliszcz.

The area is primarily famous for woodcarvings, and the manufacturing of extraordinarily pretty tissue paper flowers. Kliszczak traditions include Good Friday Stations of the Cross progress from Bogdanówka to Mount Koskowa (Koskowa Góra), and the tuka – traditional potato harvesting at the EcoMuseum Bogdanówka.
