Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima, Krzeptówki

Highlight • Religious Site

This shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Fátima was built at a place where a humble chapel of Our Lady was built in the 1950ies. It is a votive church, which construction started several years after the 1981 attempt on John Paul II life in Rome. The church was consecrated by the Pope himself in 1997 and soon became the second most important sanctuary for Góral people and first in terms of visitor number in Podhale.
The interior is an interesting example of modern local architecture, impressive wood ornaments, there is a nice view towards the Tatras from the top of the entrance stairs.

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.

Siwa Polana – Gateway to the Chochołowska Valley

Highlight • Parking

An attractive place not only for pedestrians, but also for cyclists. For 3/4 of the way to the hostel in Polana Chochołowska, there is a convenient asphalt driveway, then gravel and cobblestones - but it's worth getting a little tired.

Chochołowska Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The Chochołowska Valley is the largest and longest valley in Poland’s Tatra Mountains, stretching 10 kilometers. Known for its scenic beauty, it features dense spruce forests, alpine meadows, and a deep gorge with dramatic narrows. Popular for hiking and cycling, the main trail leads to the PTTK Mountain Shelter on the Chochołowska Clearing. In spring, the valley transforms into a vibrant sea of crocuses, drawing many visitors. It also preserves its shepherding heritage, with traditional cheese-making still practiced.

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 Mountain Hut

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). It is a great base for trips to the Western Tatras.
