The manor house (Dwór) is a specific cultural and historical landmark: it is built of wood and dates from the second half of the 18th century. Its construction and period are two distinct features. For travellers who take architecture and history into account when choosing a destination, this offers a clearly defined theme rather than a general reference to a historic building.

The manor house is located on the southern slope of the Polanka Valley, on the road between Zawada and Sobolów. Its position on the slope places the building in the valley landscape; the road detail specifies its connection to the two named places. Together, these provide a landscape reference and a specific road location, describing different aspects.

Zawada’s manor park includes a group of trees consisting of four pedunculate oaks, a European larch, and an arborvitae. The oaks make up the largest number; the larch and arborvitae are represented by one tree each. This gives the nature theme a specific, manageable scale.

The 2025 edition of the Tour de Zawada cycling marathon ran from Nieszkowice Wielkie through Zawada, Gierczyce, and Pogwizdów. The route was more than 15 kilometres long. This detail applies to that edition; the course may differ for a later event. If you are planning to attend a later edition, check the course that applies to it.

The Bochnia–Zawada–Kopaliny–Bochnia route is listed as 25 kilometres long. It is also listed with a duration of 2 hours and 7 minutes, 450 metres of ascent, and 451 metres of descent. The duration is an estimate from the route planner, not a guaranteed time; the details may change if the route is adjusted.

The two distances cannot be definitively ranked by total length: “more than 15 kilometres” is a lower bound, while the second route is listed with a specific distance of 25 kilometres. The types of information can, however, be distinguished: the Tour de Zawada detail names the places along a cycling marathon in a particular edition; for the Bochnia–Zawada–Kopaliny–Bochnia route, the estimated duration and elevation figures are also provided. This shows you which details are available for planning each route.
