BOBREK Palace and Park Complex

Highlight • Historical Site

The present palace, whose architecture can still be admired, especially after removing the thickets surrounding it not so long ago, has a very long and interesting history. It began modestly on the Vistula, which was already an important water route in the 18th century, and a small wooden settlement was built at a distance from it due to the backwaters existing here. It is situated on a small hill, probably artificially built to protect it against floods that occur up to the present day. The stronghold situated in this place had a defensive significance for the stronghold of the Oświęcim castellan and guarded the surrounding lands against the enemies of the organizing Polish State and native robbers.

Zapadliskowe Ponds in Żarki

Highlight • Lake

The sinkhole ponds in Żarki, near Libiąż, are an extraordinary example of a landscape transformed by mining activity. They were created as a result of mining damage and subsidence of the land above the former workings, creating a picturesque water area surrounded by forests and meadows. This place attracts nature lovers, fishermen and cyclists who can admire the wildlife, especially the numerous species of water birds. The trails around the ponds are ideal for a leisurely ride, but you should watch out for the marshy terrain in some places. This is an interesting alternative to the more popular water areas in the region, offering peace and closeness to nature.

Youth Park

Highlight • Natural

The perfect place for a break🙂

The park is located on Jana Pawła II Avenue. In this oasis you can find a beautiful water clock, numerous water cascades and a monument to John Paul II, blessed by the Metropolitan of Krakow... The sculpture by Krakow sculptor Jan Funk is not typical.
