What cultural heritage can you find in Hażlach?
Construction of the present-day brick church in Hażlach began on 13 June 1904 and was completed in 1905. The Church of St Bartholomew the Apostle also preserves a Gothic bell dating from 1409. If you are interested in church history, you can include these two specific details in your exploration of Hażlach.
Another memorial stands in the Catholic cemetery in Hażlach on ul. Kościelna. It is a stone cross commemorating victims of the early 20th-century world war. Together with the church heritage, it forms a distinct cultural and historical theme, separate from the exhibitions and recreational attractions at Dom Przyrodnika.
What can you expect at Dom Przyrodnika?
Dom Przyrodnika houses exhibition displays on the first floor and mezzanine. They make extensive use of multimedia interpretation. Alongside the historical themes, visitors can therefore explore an exhibition format that makes extensive use of digital and other media. The tourist information centre is also located at Dom Przyrodnika, at ul. Główna 2. There you can get brochures, leaflets and maps about nearby attractions and events.
A sensory garden has been laid out in the north-western part of the grounds. It complements the described indoor spaces with a landscaped outdoor area.
What activity is available for children?
The pump track for children on the grounds of Dom Przyrodnika is 37 metres long. Pump tracks form closed circuits and can be ridden in both directions. The length and track layout are specific features that can help you assess this activity. The information distinguishes the 37-metre track for children from the description of pump tracks as circuits; no other dimensions or difficulty ratings are provided.
What should nature enthusiasts know about Hażlach?
The Natura 2000 protected area established in the Upper Vistula Valley includes small adjoining parts of Hażlach. The connection to the locality thus concerns small sections and does not mean that the entire area of Hażlach is included. If you are interested in nature conservation and landscapes, this is a useful part of the picture of the locality.
The “Źródełko Borgońka” nature trail offers another way to find your bearings: information boards are placed along the route. There is also a special brochure published by the Ustroń Forest District.
