Hubertus is a festival of hunters, held at the beginning of the autumn-winter season. In Poland, the cult of St. Hubert dates back to the 18th century. During the Second Republic of Poland, Hubertus hunts were held in Spala, and were initiated by President Ignacy Moscicki. To this day, in the Polish hunting tradition, so-called "hubertowins" are organized on November 3, i.e. collective hunts of a particularly solemn character, with the preservation of historical patterns and ceremonies.
