Story
Dziarus keeps watch at ul. Świdnicka 4, on one of the main shopping streets of the centre. He wears a flat, rough-textured cap and a scruffy beard, and he tilts his head up as if he is checking the weather over the rooftops. The playful story is that he is the most cheerful dwarf on the street and cannot stand still, so he is always ready to join any passing family. Look for him close to the ground, and you will find a face full of character.

He stands among a cluster of dwarfs on this stretch of Świdnicka, including Korpokrasnal, Solidariusz and the famous Syzyfki, one of the original five dwarfs of 2005.
