Przyłęków: Sanctuary and winter sports

• The Sanctuary of Our Lady Help of Christians was built between 1896 and 1902.
• The church stands on the slope of Kiczory, also known as Bugaj, amid beech, pine, and spruce trees.
• A spring with clean water is located next to the sanctuary; pilgrims draw water from it because they believe it has healing properties.
• The “Piast” Winter Sports Center has been operating for several years on the southern edge of Przyłęków and has an 800-meter drag lift and a 200-meter platter lift.
• There are three downhill runs at the Jastrzębica ski slope. The yellow Świnna–Moczarki hiking trail runs above Przyłęków.
• A paved road provides access to the area near the sanctuary.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady Help of Christians was built between 1896 and 1902. The church stands on the slope of Kiczory, also known as Bugaj. Beech, pine, and spruce trees surround the site. Its construction period, hillside location, and three types of trees offer visitors interested in culture and landscape different ways to appreciate the place.

A spring with clean water lies directly next to the sanctuary. Pilgrims draw water there, believing it has healing properties. Thus, alongside the building’s history, the spring and the related pilgrimage practice are part of the site’s religious significance.

The “Piast” Winter Sports Center has been operating for several years on the southern edge of Przyłęków. It has an 800-meter drag lift and a 200-meter platter lift. The drag lift is therefore four times as long as the platter lift; the two types of lift and their lengths provide concrete points of comparison.

There are three downhill runs at the Jastrzębica ski slope in Przyłęków. This describes two different winter sports options: Piast focuses on lift types and lengths, while Jastrzębica is defined by the number of downhill runs.

The yellow Świnna–Moczarki hiking trail runs above Przyłęków. Its location places it in the area surrounding the village. If hiking is also important to you, you can consider this trail as a separate focus alongside the winter sports facilities.

The wider region also offers architectural interest: many buildings are made of wood using the log construction method typical of the area. This gives you two different perspectives to consider when planning your trip—a specific hiking route above Przyłęków and a regionally widespread building style.

A paved road provides access to the area near the sanctuary. If visiting it is important to you, you can factor this into your plans and check the exact location of your accommodation. Before booking, it is also a good idea to check the selected accommodation’s current availability.
