Hi fellows, back from my 2500 km+ round trip in Romania or Transylvania as we call it. This is what I saw on the way somewhere. I guess you should brush up your Romanian to find it. GSV please

OK, I was not expecting anyone to find this as it is not a public sculpture and I did not find any information on it. It is probably only a piece of advertisement for the local furniture store as I checked back on Google Street View. When we passed it by I thought it would make a good puzzle so I pinned it in GM but it is too hard without any clues. So here is your clue: 1. I was heading to the birth house of this guy, a must-see and kind of pilgrimage site for Hungarians as he is widely considered to be one of the greatest Hungarian poets: 2. I chose the shortest route possible from Hungarian territory to visit the place. 3. The giant's chair is right along the main road.

on my way to the chair i saw that, how great!!!! There are lots of them in the rural parts of Hungary as well as Romania, they are pretty embedded in the landscape and even the local power provider customizes its poles so that they do not get struck by high voltage.

Great find! I also took a picture of this sculpture, of course.
