This curious gentleman is really funny and original. There are some more figures of this type around, but this one is the most famous and surprising.

And original, nice, cute... But there is no story or anything behind it. You will see more statues around the city also nice and creative.

It is one of a few statues or characters that Bratislava used to have and it attracts all visitors - very photogenic together with Napoleon's soldier or Schone Naci.

You can't miss this gentleman! He is peeping out of the pothole just a few steps away from the McDonalds. This is one of the very well known landmarks. Local story is that this gentleman is peeping under the skirts of passing by ladies! So, ladies, hold your skirts tight!!

Very easy to find, just a few steps away from the McDonalds this queer statue of a curious sewage plumber peeping at people walking past him is one of the very well known landmarks. Find the other two statues closeby, have a picture with each of them. Sometimes there's also a live statue of Cumil next to the original one.
