Gliczarów Górny: Routes, views and culture

Hiking and cycling, as well as skiing, views and culture, are all options to consider for a stay in Gliczarów Górny. Two routes start in Biały Dunajec and return there via Gliczarów Górny or other named places. They are joined by the “U Steni” ski station, the Stołowe viewpoint, and cultural attractions including a memorial room and a wooden sculpture trail. This allows you to tailor your trip to a range of interests.

Plan hiking and cycling routes by duration and distance

The hiking route takes about 3.5 hours. It starts in Biały Dunajec and goes via Stołowe, Gliczarów Górny, Gliczarów Dolny, Wojtusiców Wierch and Kuny, before returning to Biały Dunajec. Gliczarów Górny is therefore one of the places on the route; both the start and finish are in Biały Dunajec. The approximate duration gives you an idea of how much time to allow for this outing. Check local conditions before setting out, and factor the stated time into your day’s plans.

The cycling route is about 15 km long and runs from Biały Dunajec via Gliczarów Dolny and Gliczarów Górny before returning. Both circular routes share the same starting and finishing point. For choosing between them, the hiking route can be assessed by duration, while the cycling route can be assessed by distance. Here too, it is a good idea to check current trail conditions before setting out. Both route figures are approximate guidelines.

Skiing at “U Steni”

The “U Steni” ski station in Gliczarów Górny has three lifts and a total of more than 1,000 m of downhill runs. If skiing is the focus of your trip, these details can help you assess the facility. As facility details may change, confirm locally that it is operating before you travel.

Views and a memorial room in Stołowe

The viewpoint in Stołowe adds a scenic highlight to the options. How far you can see depends on the conditions at the time. Stołowe in Gliczarów Górny is also home to a memorial room dedicated to Andrzej Skupień Florek. This dedication offers a different focus from the viewpoint: here, the emphasis is on remembering Andrzej Skupień Florek. If you plan to visit, check in advance whether visits are possible.

Wooden sculptures along a circular trail

A circular trail connects several wooden sculptures installed along the way: chapels, crosses and figures of saints. The sculptures were created by the folk artist Wojciech Kułach Wawrzyńcok from Gliczarów, who lived in the 19th century. The varied subjects give the trail a cultural focus; the artist’s origins and lifetime also lend it a local and historical connection. Individual works and trail conditions may vary, so take this into account when planning.
