Attractions of Legnica

Thanks to Via Regia, i.e. the Way of Jacob, Poland was a tycoon in the production of red dye used to dye the robes of the powerful. The dye came from the larva of Polish June (Dactylopius polonica). Currently, natural dyes are returning to favor. In the Kaczawskie Mountains, we invite you to a dyeing workshop with natural dyes.
