Discover Rokiciny Podhalańskie

• The Marian Grotto was built of stone in 1927 and renovated by local residents in 1983.
• Dworski Park, next to the former monastery, dates from the late 19th century and covers 3 hectares.
• The Church of Divine Mercy was built in 1989 on the initiative of Stanisław Dziwisz and local residents.

The Marian Grotto and the Church of Divine Mercy offer different points of reference for the town’s history. Both the year the grotto was built and a later renovation are documented: it was built of stone in 1927 and renovated by local residents in 1983. The church was built in 1989 on the initiative of Stanisław Dziwisz and local residents. This gives you two specific dates and lets you distinguish the involvement of residents mentioned in each case.

If you are interested in the town’s history, these buildings offer two distinct topics. The Marian Grotto draws attention for its stone construction and renovation; the initiative behind the church’s construction is a key point of reference.

Dworski Park is next to the former monastery, dates from the late 19th century, and covers 3 hectares. Its size and historic origins make the park a distinct feature alongside the religious buildings.

The park is listed in the register of monuments of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. Its layout and old trees are strictly protected. Both the park’s design and its trees are therefore important features to consider when comparing the different cultural and historic highlights of Rokiciny Podhalańskie.

The starting point of the hiking trail named after Cardinal Karol Wojtyła is clearly specified: it starts at the former Ursuline convent, now called Pałac Seniora. From there, the trail heads towards the stadium in Rokiciny Podhalańskie. This gives you a named starting point and a direction to help you find your way.

The Raba Wyżna–Rokiciny Podhalańskie–Raba Wyżna cycling route connects the two named towns. This means there is a hiking trail with a specified starting point and direction, as well as a cycling route whose name identifies the towns, catering to different interests. If you are planning to hike or cycle during your trip, you can consider these as two separate options.

First, consider what matters for your trip. If you are interested in history, the Marian Grotto, the church, and Dworski Park offer different points of interest; if you are planning to hike or cycle, you can take the two named trails into account. Then compare hotels based on your personal requirements.
