It's a nice statue that's great to get a pic of. It's funny standing and looking at all the different ways people want to get pictures taken with him.
Statue is situated at the corner where "Panska" and "Rybarska brana" streets meet. It is often surrounded by crowd of tourists but taking pictures with him is very popular :-) If you walk round Bratislava old city a little bit more, you will find more nice bronze statues...keep exploring! ;-)
旧城区内有非常多令人惊喜的雕塑品,地上的,半露出于地表的,人物生动活泼。让人流连忘返。值得花时间细细品味。
One of four bronzes in Bratislava, Cumil-the-Peeper is perhaps the most famous and most photographed. He's supposed to be a workman coming out of a manhole in the street. Our tour guide pointed him out, and my wife and I took several pictures. As you can see in pictures, the top of his helmet is a much lighter color than the rest of him because rubbing the helmet is supposed to bring good luck. My wife and our tour guide did this, and we have their pictures. I read elsewhere online that you're not supposed to rub the helmet because that's where local dogs mark their territory! Anyway, it's fun to look for the statues in a city with many, many interesting sights to photograph.
Among with others, Cumil is one of the statues you can see while walking in the center of Bratislava, all popular attractions for tourists.Cumil is of a man peeking out from under a manhole cover. A spy or a voyeur ? :D
Cumil or Rubberneck is a quirky little statue located just off the main square in the city. The locals erected the sign next to him following cars which had ran him over!Generally when you're sight-seeing you're used to looking up at the statue so this made a change to get up close & see him.Nice subject to photograph.
Statue is funny, nice, but I wouldn't take it as a city attraction. It is just one of plenty statues. This "attraction" takes 5 minutes to see. Nothing spectacular!
Cumil is arguably the most humorous, certainly the most photographed bronze in the Old Town. Bratislava has a sense of humor!
This is actually no more than a different kind of statue. It is located on the walkway and it seems like a soldier getting out of a sewage hole. Walk to there just to see it, it's fun. Or even better take a tour that will certainly pass there. Also the only place in town where an official "Men at Work" sign is permanently kept in order to avoid car to run over it as it happened before. Clever move.
We were lucky to find it for the first time without a crowd surrounding it for photos! One of the most famous spots in Bratislava!
