Redyk: An Army Of Sheep


PT
Redyk é uma marcha tradicional com um rebanho de ovelhas. Essa tradição anual tem uma longa história e é muito comemorada nesta parte da Polónia. No verão, as ovelhas são levadas por alguns meses até as montanhas para pastar, e retornam em outubro, levando ovelhas de volta às aldeias para sobreviver ao inverno. A caminhada é muito comemorada. Os pastores conduzem o rebanho pelas aldeias e os habitantes locais recebem-nos com música e aplausos. Apesar de causar tráfego e várias dificuldades, todos ficam felizes em ver os montanheses. Durante o pasto, os pastores dormem em pequenas casas de madeira sem eletricidade ou água corrente. Tudo o que eles têm é o que a natureza fornece. A caminhada de volta pelas montanhas é muito difícil, pois o clima da montanha pode ser muito difícil, não há estradas; portanto, a única opção é caminhar, que leva alguns dias para chegar ao destino final.

Redyk is a traditional annual march of highlander shepherds with a flock of sheep. This tradition has a long history and it’s very celebrated in this part of Poland. Every summer sheep are taken for few months high up to the mountains for grazing. In October sheep are taken down back to the villages to survive the winter in the farms. The big coming back is much celebrated. Shepards lead the herd through the villages and locals welcomes them with music and cheers. Despite the fact that it causes traffic and various difficulties everybody is very happy to see the highlanders. During the grazing shepherds sleep in small wooden houses without electricity or running water. All they have is what nature provides. The walk back from the mountains is very hard as the mountain weather can be very tough, there is no roads so the only option is to walk that takes few days to reach the final destination.
