Highlanders celebrate an opening of sheep grazing season in Poland

SRedyk traditionally begins around 23 of April, a time when shepherds, locally called Baca, take flocks of sheep from villages uphill, away from civilisation for the grazing season, which lasts about half a year. The beginning of the season is a festive time for the highlanders from Tatra and this part of Karpaty as sheep farming historically is a major source of income for the region.
