Highlanders from Soutern Poland take part in the UNESCO listed horse carriage competition (Kumoterki) in Bialy Dunajec, Poland on January 30, 2022. In 2017 Kumoterek Races were entered on the UNESCO National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. The origins of the tradition can be traced back to the nineteenth century, when for a long winter period highlander horse-drawn sleds were an irreplaceable means of transport.
