One of Kraków's least known, hardest to find and most bizarre monuments, this tribute to the King is a pilgrimage worth making. Though located on an 'avenue' named in his honour, it's little more than a footpath into the beguiling woods of Zakrzówek and the picturesque quarry that lies beyond. A large standing stone with Elvis' face set in it and half-submerged in silicon, this seemingly wacky act of randomness is an in-all-seriousness tribute from the Kraków Elvis fan club. At some point the King's hair was spray-painted blue and he can usually be found in the company of artificial flowers. The perfect occassion for an outing, you'll find Elvis at the end of ul. Pietrusińskiego, where the footpath named in his honour begins.
