Dragon
The dragon in Trutnov is everywhere mainly because the legend of the city´s beginnings and the dragon slaughter is mentioned already in Simon Hüttel´s chronicle from the 16th century. The dragon is also the main character in the emblem of Trutnov town.
If you want to know more about the mythical dragon then we recommend to visit Dragon Gallery.
Dragon Gallery
The Dragon Gallery is placed in the city centre and a visit takes at least half an hour. Firstly, the guide will narrate with help of mechanical puppet theatre the whole spooky legend (don't worry, it's not that scary). The second part of the gallery will present the dragon as a multifaceted creature – either as a dragon egg, the fire, the growl or the beast itself…. And finally, you can play with lots of mechanical toys.
They're already carrying him!
Whom are they carrying? The dragon, of course! Big city festivities are held at the beginning of May. At the end of the festival on Saturday evening after dark, the mysterious creatures led by the knight Albrecht of Trautenberg on a horse, in the light of burning torches and the whirling of the drums mythical beast will be lifted and hang on the tower of the Old Town Hall.
