Chapel of Our Lady of Gietrzwałd

Highlight • Religious Site

Right at the entrance to the Kościeliska Valley (those views!) stands the Chapel of Our Lady of Gietrzwałd. The chapel is very beautiful, but contrary to what you might think, it is not super old, it was created in 1972. Inside there is a copy of the painting of Our Lady of Gietrzwałd, by Maciej Kajetan Kreutz from Łódź.

Western end of Droga pod Reglami

Highlight • Trail

Here, at these trail markings, on this road and near the entrance to the Chochołowska Valley, is the western end of the beautiful and easy Droga pod Reglami. If you start from here, you will have a real treat and an uninterrupted (for kilometers) panorama of the Tatras from its foothills.

Kmietowicz Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

This rock at an altitude of 987m above sea level is made of dolomite. There are two small caves in the rock, called "shelters". The rock was named after Father Józef Leopold Kmietowicz, the leader of the Chochołów Uprising of 1846. You will also find a commemorative plaque here commemorating all the participants of this uprising.

Chochołowska Valley MTB Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Half of the route of Polana Chochołowska is in asphalt, and the other half is concrete MTB over stones. To drive, but you need some steam already :)

PTTK Mountain Hut on Polana Chochołowska

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This shelter, opened in 1953, is located on Polana Chochołowska at an altitude of 1146m. You can eat here and stay overnight (smoking is not allowed). A great place to stop at the end of the bike path in the Chochołowska Valley. Continue on foot.
