Rzepiska

Several marked hiking trails run through the individual hamlets of Rzepiska. Mountain bikers can choose between two routes, one yellow and one green. The village is also home to the two Rzepi-SKI lifts: Bryjów Potok and Wojtyczków Potok.

Cultural highlights include two churches, a historic cemetery chapel, a regional ensemble and a local folk music group that keep local customs and traditions alive. Sheep graze on the slopes at traditional shepherds’ huts, where you can buy fresh dairy products.

The hiking trails run through the individual hamlets. If you enjoy exploring on foot, you’ll find trails that take Rzepiska itself as their focus. Information about trail lengths or difficulty levels is not available here, so you should not rely on the markings alone when choosing a route.

The two mountain biking routes are distinguished by color: one is yellow and the other is green. This offers a different way to explore the village than following the marked hiking trails; no connection between the routes is described.

Rzepi-SKI comprises the Bryjów Potok and Wojtyczków Potok lifts. They operate daily during the winter season and are considered suitable for children and beginner skiers. If skiing is important to your travel group, this information offers a practical guide.

The wooden Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was built by the residents of Grocholowy Potok and Wojtyczkowy Potok between 1953 and 1957. Its appearance is similar to the architecture of Podhale. It is a specific point of interest for travelers interested in regional architectural styles.

The residents of Bryjowy Potok built a second church, the Church of Divine Mercy. It was built 40 years after the wooden church mentioned above. A historic cemetery chapel also stands in the cemetery in Bryjów Potok. Its inscription is in Slovak; the chapel has since been renovated and restored.

Local culture is also reflected in the community’s commitment to keeping traditions alive: the regional ensemble Trzy Potoki and a local folk music group preserve Rzepiska’s local customs and traditions. Together with the churches and chapel, they form a cultural focus distinct from the trails and winter sports on offer.

Nearby, the 1,016 m Pawlików Wierch rises above Łapszanka and Rzepiska. Its summit, ridge and a large part of its slopes are treeless, making the mountain a good viewpoint. The elevation refers to Pawlików Wierch, not to the village of Rzepiska.

Traditional shepherds’ huts are another local feature. Sheep graze on the slopes there, and fresh dairy products are available to buy.

When looking for a hotel or other accommodation in Rzepiska, you can start by considering which aspects are most important for your stay: trails and mountain biking routes, churches and local traditions, the ski lifts or the landscape around Pawlików Wierch. Use these priorities to compare available options.
