Have you heard about the giant urban treasure hunt in Wrocław, Poland? No, we’re not talking about geocaching!
Peeking out from street corners, window sills, bridges and alleys in Wrocław, tiny bronze gnomes are a unique attraction for locals and visitors alike. Over 1,000 mischievous dwarves are hiding, each with their own personality and story, waiting to be discovered. However, there is one dwarf who has a secret mission.
“Keszerek is a 21st century dwarf – armed with a map, compass, headlamp, GPS and pen, he roams the city’s alleys in search of treasure.” — Lokua
Sounds familiar…
Meet Krasnal Keszerek, whose name translates to “Dwarf Cacher.” Small but mighty, Keszerek is the keeper of a special geocache hidden in the heart of Wrocław.
Keszerek and his bronze munitions can hide in the main square of the city. Opening the cache and signing the logbook can be tricky in this busy area. But a true geocacher knows that patience and stealth will pay off in the form of smiles, stamps in their Mailbox notebooks, and opportunities to trade items for SWAG.
Keszerek and other Wrocław dwarves have their origins in the political protest movement of the 1980s, when grotesque images of dwarves became symbols of peaceful resistance and joyful community spirit in Poland. Decades later, the tradition inspired the creation of bronze gnome statues throughout the city. Like the original movement, the dwarves are a product of community. Anyone can create and install a statue and add it to the city’s official register.
Keszerek, a geocaching gnome, was launched in 2025 as part of Wrocław’s 25th geocaching anniversary celebrations. This project is truly community based; more than 200 donors from across Europe helped fund the statue over several years, while organizers navigated the city approval process required for installation. Keszerek was introduced as part of a series of geocaching Events across the city, many of which featured gnomes.
Whether you’re hunting for bronze gnomes, geocaches, or both, Geocache of the Week proves that some of the best finds are hiding in plain sight.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
