Here you will find record-breaking Easter palms. The Polish countryside has been attracting tourists for years
Palm Sunday is ahead of us, which we celebrate on March 24. Many lovers of this holiday dream of seeing as many popular colorful twigs as possible. There is a place in Poland where we can find the best in the country.
Regardless of whether we celebrate Palm Sunday because of religious worship and faith, or we are completely indifferent to it, it must be admitted that the colorful palm trees associated with the holiday are impressive. They can be diverse and original, and also reach enormous sizes. If you would like to organize an interesting trip for the next weekend, it is worth considering visiting the village, which is famous for its record-breaking twigs and has been extremely popular for years.
Here you will see record-breaking Easter palms
The place in question is the village of Lipnica Murowana located in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. Every day we will see charming green areas and wooden huts there. The location is very quiet, but once a year it becomes particularly loud. It's all because of Easter palms, which have special meaning for the inhabitants of this region.
Lipnica is characterized by record-breaking palm trees that reach several meters high. They are colorful, original, and everything, among others: because a special competition has been held there for six decades. Residents try to make the best twig possible and devote a lot of time to it. They not only want to win, but above all, have fun.
Apart from Lipnica, the town of Nowy Wiśnicz, located near the village, is also of particular importance. When visiting the area, it is definitely worth visiting. The main attraction is the castle and the church of St. Leonard. If you want to relax, it is also worth following the picturesque trails of the Lipnica-Wiśnicki Landscape Park and finally sitting in the atmospheric market square.
The largest Easter palms in Poland. This is what they may look like
We will see record palm trees in Lipnica on March 25. What can you expect this time? It all depends on the creativity and capabilities of the people who will be there, but there will definitely be plenty of impressions. The tallest Easter palm in the history of the competition measured over 37 meters. There were about 800 flowers and lots of decorative ribbons on it.
In addition to beautiful palm trees, this coming Sunday we will also take advantage of many accompanying events. Those present on site will try, among others: Shaker, a traditional Easter breakfast dish, or eggs. Additionally, they will listen to regional music and take part in creative workshops. This will be the 65th edition of the competition, and the inauguration is scheduled for 7 a.m. at the Lipnica market square. The celebration will last until at least 3:30 p.m. Anyone interested can come.
