What role does the pilgrimage tradition play?
Its location at the foot of Łysa Góra shapes how Nowa Słupia is known: for centuries, the town has been a stopping place for pilgrims on their way to the Sanctuary of the Holy Cross Tree on Święty Krzyż. This gives visitors interested in religious destinations a tangible historical connection that extends beyond the town’s location. When planning, it is helpful to treat the pilgrimage tradition and the educational trail as distinct reasons to visit: one is linked to the route to the sanctuary, while the other is described as a historical and nature trail.
What does the educational trail offer as a planning guide?
“Dymarki na stoku Łysej Góry” has a clearly stated length and ten stations: the educational trail is 3 km long. Its route runs along Świętokrzyska Street, through Wąkop and Łazy, and then into Świętokrzyski National Park. This makes it possible to understand the trail in terms of its named sections and destination, without equating it with the pilgrimage route to the sanctuary. Its historical and nature focus makes it a separate option for travelers interested in these subjects. Check current local information about the route before setting out.
