Siepraw

• The village is located in the Wieliczka Foothills on the Sieprawka stream.
• Kopytko is a rock outcrop about 3 m high and 20 m long, on the border between Siepraw and Świątniki Górne.
• Słoneczny Park has walking and cycling paths, as well as pedestrian bridges over the Sieprawka.
• Siepraw Ski has five ski lifts and five runs of varying difficulty.

Kopytko is one of the few rock outcrops in the Wieliczka Foothills. The rock, about 3 m high and 20 m long, is made of resistant Izdebnia sandstone. It lies on the border between Siepraw and Świątniki Górne. A walking trail leads from Siepraw to this geological site. If you want to focus on nature and rock formations during your stay, this offers a specific starting point for a walk; the directions lead to the rock outcrop without specifying a particular walking distance.

In the village, Słoneczny Park adds another kind of recreational setting to the landscape. The park was developed as a park and recreation area for active leisure. Its second construction phase included walking and cycling paths; the grounds also feature pedestrian bridges over the Sieprawka stream. The park therefore focuses on both walking and cycling routes. The bridges over the stream are another distinctive feature of the park.

Siepraw Ski offers another way to tailor your stay to your interests. The ski complex has five ski lifts and five runs of varying difficulty. The runs are between 70 and 350 m long. These details give you a clear idea of the available run lengths and range of difficulty levels. The facilities also include a winter playground for children.

Siepraw therefore offers several clearly distinct leisure options: the walking trail to Kopytko, the walking and cycling paths in Słoneczny Park, and the runs and winter playground at Siepraw Ski.

The wooden branch church of St Martin in Siepraw dates from the first half of the 17th century. The parish church is also associated with the Sanctuary of Blessed Aniela Salawa: on 19 March 2004, it was elevated to the status of a sanctuary. It was intended to serve as a special place for prayers for Aniela Salawa’s canonization. Four generations of her compatriots had worked to spread her cult; since the sanctuary was established, this has taken place in Siepraw.

A local craft is also part of the village’s history. Siepraw is known for making brushes and brooms. This craft developed during the interwar period as an additional source of income. Together with the two churches, it offers a cultural perspective on different aspects of local history: sacred architecture, devotion to Aniela Salawa and a craft tradition.
