The Matki Boskiej Różańcowej Chapel is one of the oldest surviving wayside chapels in Wieliczka municipality. This description applies to the municipality. Another historical reference point is the founding of the local Koło Gospodyń Wiejskich: it dates to 1958 and was initiated by the parish priest at the time.

There is also one event date tied to a specific year: the 19th edition of Dni Węgrzc Wielkich was celebrated in 2025. The village thus brings together a chapel with a permanent location and a specific retrospective on an edition of an event. The LKS Węgrzcanka sports complex can be found at 359 Długa Street; this detail indicates its location.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Wieliczka and Bochnia Royal Salt Mines.” The underground Miners’ Route includes 7 to 14 mining chambers in the rough workings around the oldest surviving Regis shaft. It is up to 2 kilometres long. The wider destination therefore features both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a route with a specified maximum length.

The churches, too, tell different stories: the wooden Church of St Sebastian in Wieliczka was built in 1582 and contains Renaissance paintings. The parish Church of St Clement was built in 1381 with a donation from the townspeople; architectural elements from the 13th and 14th centuries have been preserved inside. In Grabie, the parish Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary dates to 1742. It also contains a Gothic stone baptismal font from the 15th century.

In the wider destination of Wieliczka, the yellow route is a hiking and cycling route between Wieliczka and Dobczyce. The red cycle route, by contrast, is a 27-kilometre loop through Wieliczka and Siercza. The details clearly differ: for the yellow route, the route types and endpoints are given; for the red one, its loop format and length are specified. Check route conditions before setting out, as they may change.

The “Las i stawy na Grabówkach” ecological protected area lies on the hiking and cycling route from Wieliczka. In Siercza, a riding stable offers horse riding under the guidance of a riding instructor; check current availability in advance. These options complement the cultural sites with two different ways to experience the wider destination.
