Myslenice

The Muzeum Niepodległości presents two different aspects of the history of the town and the country. The Chełm-Cyklocentrum has more than 30 km of mountain biking trails of varying difficulty. Górny Jaz has wide river beaches for swimming; in the Zarabie district, you can use two professionally equipped pétanque courts free of charge. At the upper station of the chairlift to Chełm, there is an observation tower and the starting point for numerous hiking trails.

The exhibition “Historia Myślenic” presents the history of the town through a range of formats. These include games and touchscreen applications, holograms and 3D visualizations. Reconstructed historical interiors bring various settings to life: a castle tower, a manor house, a Kliszczak cottage and a former town pharmacy. So, if you are interested in historical ways of life, you will find not only digital elements here, but also recreated spaces.

The permanent exhibition “Myśleniczan walka o Niepodległość” offers a different perspective. Using sounds, films, photographs and exhibits, it tells the story of the world wars. It also focuses on the contribution made by the residents of the Myślenice municipality to regaining and preserving Polish independence. The history of Poland is told from the perspective of the experiences of a small-town community. The two exhibitions therefore differ in their focus: one takes you through reconstructed historical interiors and interactive displays, while the other tells stories of wars and the struggle for independence.

For mountain biking, the Chełm-Cyklocentrum offers more than 30 km of trails of varying difficulty. These include a well-known downhill run.

Chełm also offers ways to spend time outdoors: an observation tower is located at the upper station of the chairlift, where numerous hiking trails also begin. Another focus is the water. Górny Jaz has wide river beaches for swimming. In the Zarabie district, two professionally equipped pétanque courts add to the options; use of the courts is free. This means you can tailor your stay to your interests, choosing between cycling, hiking, swimming and pétanque.

If you are especially interested in history, the two exhibitions at the Muzeum Niepodległości offer different approaches: reconstructed spaces and digital displays on the one hand, and stories about the world wars and Polish independence on the other. For active days, the mountain biking trails and hiking paths on Chełm are useful points of reference. River beaches and free pétanque courts appeal to travelers who would also like to plan a swim or an outdoor game. Use these differences to match Myslenice to your travel group’s interests and look for a hotel in the town, without assuming that the individual attractions are close to one another.
