At Mofeta Tylicz, carbon dioxide emerges from deeper layers of the earth at several points. Marked trails pass by the outlets. This distinguishes the natural site from a single spring: the gas vents are spread across several points along the trails. Opening times vary by season, so check them before planning your visit.

Bradowiec Spring also has a clearly defined built structure: a concrete ring surrounds it, and a decorative pavilion covers it. An information board stands nearby. These features give the site a clear focus for a visit, while Mofeta is defined above all by its multiple gas outlets and the marked trails that pass them.

The ten-kilometre Tylicka Pętla is marked as a hiking and cycling route. It passes the Tyliczanka water collection point, Szubienica and Horb, then follows Road 75 to the summit of Łan. If you plan to take this route, check the local trail markers before setting out. The listed waypoints and summit give you concrete points of reference when choosing your route.

Kropla Delice is seven kilometres long and starts at the Kropla Beskidu bottling plant. This route, too, is described as suitable for hiking and cycling. The stated distances make for a direct comparison: Tylicka Pętla is three kilometres longer, while the starting point for Kropla Delice is identified as the bottling plant. You can choose the route that better fits your day based on its length and described course.

The Historic Trail runs from the Town Hall to Szubienica and passes seven stops. The topics include the town’s founding, court proceedings, robbers and religious conflicts. These subjects give the trail a historical focus and connect different aspects of local history in a set sequence of stops.

The churches also mark distinct points in history. The Parish Church of Saints Peter and Paul dates from 1612. The Greek Catholic Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian was built in 1743 and entered in the register of monuments on 5 September 1964. Tylicz is also home to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Tylicz, known as “Opiekunka Rodzin i Uzdrowienia Chorych” (“Guardian of Families and the Healing of the Sick”). Together with the Historic Trail, these offer different cultural points of interest: sacred buildings with specific historical dates and a trail whose stops cover concrete historical subjects.

When looking for a hotel in Tylicz, you can first consider what you want to focus on during your stay. If you want to prioritise outdoor activity, the two hiking and cycling routes offer different options. If you are more interested in local history, you can include the Historic Trail and the churches in your plans. This distinction can help you clarify what you want from your trip before choosing a hotel to suit your personal requirements.
