Jezevec ( Badger ) - Šumava, Czech Republic - Outside Wooden Display Carvings on Waymarking.com

CS:

• Drevená socha jezevce krášlí vrcholové skalisko na hore Hrb. Na své místo byla instalována v roce 2012.

• Socha pripomíná príbeh pašeráka, který prchal pres hory pred pohranicními myslivci:
  Tím pašerákem byl chudý sklár, který si chtel na obživu své rodiny privydelat pašováním tabáku z Bavorska. Pri návratu do Cech však narazil na pohranicní patrolu. Prchal pred ní celou noc. Na úteku byl postrelen a z posledních sil dobehl na skalnatý vrcholek. Tam klesl vycerpáním. Ve snu se mu zjevila Gabréta, dobrá víla a vládkyne zdejších hor. Zranenému pašerákovi se zdálo, že jej paní hor pred pronásledovateli schovala. Když procitl, zjistil, že se ocitl v jezevcí nore. Jezevec byl tím, kdo ho schoval pred pašeráky. Zvíre ranenému pašerákovi ošetrovalo ránu a krmilo jej mlékem tak dlouho, než pašerák zesílil a mohl se vrátit domu. Všude pak vyprável, jak mu paní hor poslala na pomoc jezevce.

• Jezevec je zpodobnen v životní velikosti. Samotná socha je vyrezána z jednoho kusu smrkového dreva. Pri jejím vzniku se uplatnila retezová pila a detaily byly dokonceny za pomoci rezbárských dlát. Povrch sochy je ošetren hnedou lazurou a lodním lakem.

• K soše je pridána drevená bedna symbolizující krabici pašovaného tabáku. V této krabici se nachází vrcholová kniha.

• Vrchol hory Hrb, na kterém se nachází drevená socha jezevce, je snadno dostupný po cervené turistické znacce.

• Wooden sculpture of badger decorates the rocky peak of the mountain called Hrb. The carving was installed here in 2012.

• The statue reminds us a legend about a contrabandist:
  He was a poor glassblower who needed to earn some money for his family living. Therefore he decided to smuggle tobacco from Bavaria to Bohemia. Unfortunately on the way back he met a patrol of border hunstmans. All night long The smuggler fled over the mountain from border huntsmans. On the run he was shoted. When he reached a rocky mountain summit he finally dropped from exhaustion. Then he had a dream. In this dream Gabreta, fairy godmother and ruler of these mountains, appeared to him and hid him from pursuers.
  When he woke up, he found out that he is in the badger den. A Badger saved him from persecutors! The animal had treated the wounded smuggler and fed him with milk until he became stronger and was able to return home. After that, the man had told everyvere about his own salvation. He had told the story about fairy goodmother Gabreta who sent the badger to help him.

• The wooden badger is life-size statue. It is carved from one piece of spruce wood. For creation of this sculpture chainsaw and chisels were used. The statue is painted by brown stain and marine varnish.

• Another part of this carving is a box which symbolizes tobacco contraband. In this box there is a summit register.

• Hrb mountain peak, where the badger carving is located, is accessible by red hiking trail.
