Traditional Rekawka Festival In Krakow

In Krakow, Poland, on April 22, 2025, warriors in full armor run around the Mound during the Traditional Rekawka Festival under the slogan ''Chrobry takes over Krakow'' on the Krakus Mound. The 24th edition of the annual 'Rekawka' holiday at the Krakus Mound in Krakow takes place on the first Tuesday after Easter. The festival refers to the Slavic holiday commemorating the dead ancestors. The leitmotif of this year's celebrations is ''Chrobry takes over Krakow'' on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of the coronation of the first king of Poland, Boleslaw the Brave.
