The parking lot directly in front is subject to a charge and has a barrier. On the other side of the street, there is another small parking lot where you can still park for free. The entrance to the park costs 7 Złoty (since the exchange rate is roughly 1 to 4, it currently corresponds to about €1.75). You could also sneak in, but I think the price is okay and if you remember it from before, you have to admit that it has been done really great. I'm happy to pay it. The paths are well laid out, the signage is great, and you can really walk a very beautiful and varied circular route. I visit the Petrified Town regularly every few years since my childhood and am very enthusiastic about the transformation / modernization.

Many consider it the best place in the Ciężkowice area. Although in summer it is a small stream of water, it turns out that in winter it freezes and turns into a large icefall! The huge rocks surrounding it are also impressive - maybe that is why there were legends about witches (hence the name of this waterfall/icefall) who held a sabbath here (those were the days, eh?)

Basilica of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Sanctuary of the Lord Jesus in the Prison in Gorlice - a Catholic religious building, the temple was built in the years 1885-1892 in the neo-Renaissance style. The construction of the church was undertaken by the then parish priest Marceli Żabicki. The author of the design was Fr. Franciszek Pavoni, an Italian monk, the superior of the Dominicans in Kraków. In 1915, the temple was seriously damaged as a result of warfare. It was rebuilt in the years 1921-1932. In the years 2000-2003, the church was renovated. On May 23, 2009, by decision of Benedict XVI, the church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gorlice became a minor basilica. The ceremonial act of granting was presented by Bishop Kazimierz Górny, the ordinary of the Rzeszów diocese.
