Barracks (kosar, kosor) of Lesser Poland

Kategoria: Culture

Each span is made of several (usually 3) poles arranged in parallel, connected by perpendicular drags, fastening them together at appropriate heights (sometimes these are pinched boards.) Barrier spans are usually 80-100 cm high so that the sheep are not able to leave the farms alone. The barracks, apart from keeping the sheep safely in one place, also serve to evenly spread the meadow (barracks).
Therefore, when the meadow is already quite fertilized with manure, the barracks are moved a few meters away and the whole procedure is repeated again. Barracks prevent soil sterilization and fertilization in one place. In the past, the barracks involved several magical activities to keep sheep and the shepherd safe in the hall. During the reed shepherd walked around the barracks and incensed him with holy herbs to protect the herd from evil powers. The word comes from Wallachian (Romanian coşar - "barn, cowshed"). The name took from the barracks include mountain Benefits, Kosarzyska clearing, Koszarki, Barracks, etc.
