Szczyrk is one of the best showcases of the Silesian Voivodeship – a cozy, friendly town that warmly welcomes tourists from all over Poland, who happily spend their vacations, weekends, or winter holidays here. The local attractions are so diverse that they appeal to both children and adults. We suggest which places are worth seeing in Szczyrk, especially when visiting this part of the country for the first time.
Majestically sprawling above Szczyrk, Skrzyczne is a must-visit for anyone seeking breathtaking landscapes. You can reach the summit by cable car or one of the several hiking or biking trails. This peak also attracts fans of white madness – skiers and snowboarders love our hotel by the slope, as the distance from the accommodation to the ski lift is only 10 meters.
Moreover, Skrzyczne is part of the Crown of Polish Mountains, which is why it is often visited by those collecting commemorative stamps for the KGP booklet. A trip to the highest peak of the Silesian Beskids is also a good idea to infect children with a passion for mountains – some trails are not difficult even for toddlers, while for the youngest ones, just taking a ride on the cable car will surely be a great adventure.
Szczyrk is also famous for the complex of 3 ski jumps located on the slopes of Mount Skalite. The first competitions at this facility were organized in 1937, and several years ago, the ski jumps underwent a thorough renovation. An important asset for tourists is their location – they are situated almost in the city center, thus sightseeing can be combined with a stroll along the promenade by the Żylica river. The paved, comfortable path is an ideal place for both a leisurely stroll and training on a bike or rollerblades. The well-kept urban greenery combined with the sound of water and the picturesque winding course of the Żylica create wonderful conditions for relaxation at any time of year.
During your stay in Szczyrk, you can also visit sacred sites, which not only testify to the religious culture but also serve as examples of historic architecture. The history of the Santuary on the Hill dates back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries – to this day, the church and chapel are visited by the faithful from all over Poland. It is worth planning a longer visit here to have time to admire the impressive panorama of the surrounding peaks. Another interesting site is the wooden Church of St. James, which was built at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The interior is arranged in the late Baroque style, and there are also interesting artifacts worth noting, such as a bell from the late 17th century.
Therefore, a visit to Szczyrk can evoke many diverse emotions. This destination is suitable for those craving sports experiences, longing for closeness to nature, wanting to spend time actively with children, or seeking spiritual experiences. It is worth going on vacation to the Silesian Beskids at least once and discovering its tourist values.
