Inwald at a glance
Inwałd lies between Andrychów and Wadowice, directly on provincial road 52, which runs from Kraków to Bielsko-Biała. There are bus stops in front of the parks in Inwałd. The experiences described include the Ogród Jana Pawła II, Park Świat Marzeń, Park Miniatur Inwałd and Dinolandia.
What can you see at the Ogród Jana Pawła II?
At the Ogród Jana Pawła II, you can see a flowering portrait of John Paul II. It is framed by St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City and the Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wadowice. The grounds thus combine a portrait of the Polish pope with depictions of two named basilicas. For travellers interested in John Paul II and religious architecture, this focus offers a specific cultural connection.
The 8 km of paths lead past individual elements of the portrait. Along the paths, you can also view photographs about the Polish pope’s path to sainthood and discover extraordinary stories from his life. The garden is described not only through the overall image: individual parts of the portrait, the photographs and the life stories are also themes in their own right.
What themes do the parks feature?
Park Świat Marzeń in Inwałd presents 65 well-known buildings from around the world. Most of the miniatures are made at a scale of 1:25. The scale describes the size ratio of the models to the buildings they represent; however, this scale is not specified for every miniature. If you are interested in architecture and buildings from different parts of the world, this collection offers a distinct point of interest to help guide your choice.
Park Miniatur Inwałd also includes a 2,000 m² labyrinth. Green corridors and dead ends form a complex network of paths. This area offers a different focus from the miniature buildings: the labyrinth itself and its winding layout take centre stage. Its stated area and dead ends give you specific features to consider when deciding whether this theme matches your interests.
Dinolandia features figures of dinosaurs, ichthyosaurs, pterosaurs and other prehistoric creatures in a range of sizes. The selection therefore includes different groups and sizes, not just dinosaurs. Those interested in prehistoric animals will find a different thematic focus here than in the architectural miniatures or the John Paul II garden.
