Redyk is a traditional, kilometres-long march of highlanders with flocks of sheep, which takes place twice a year in Poland : in the spring at the start of the grazing season, and in the autumn at season's end.
Polish highlanders acting as shepherds lead flocks of sheep from their grazing grounds in the mountains back to the village of Gron, where they will be identified by their owners and returned to their respective farms.
Shepherds are paid by owners in sheep milk for looking after the flocks while they graze over the summer. The autumn redyk ends in festivities, as highlanders celebrate returning with the flocks from the grazing fields in the mountains ( cut this line out if its getting too long)
The massive flock takes the village streets by storm, causing more than a few traffic problems.
After the animals are back on the farm, their wool coats are sheared.
