Nature at its finest. A flat top mountain, where large in size rock platform has carved maze inside, with all sorts of passages between fantastic rock formations, all on three levels. Access from Karłów (many car parks, all paid, filling up quickly in season) or from Pasterka (car park in forest, good for day stay, don't leave your car overnight - managers from the hut on Szczeliniec put up a warning, that car left there might be a subject of bulglary). From both mentioned villages path leads to the foot of Szczeliniec, than there's only one path to the hut on Szczeliniec, with superb views from about three viewing platforms. Surprisigly many people finish they trips here - maybe because top part of Szczeliniec is accessible with ticket only. Entrance behind the hut. The real labirynth starts from there. About an hour of walking on quite narrow paths between the rocks. Great views from many places. Viewing platform of Fotel Pradziada - highest peak on Szczeliniec, also highest in Góry Stołowe (Table Mountains). Way down on very steep metals stairs. Absolutely must see.

Located right at Poland/Czechia border - still on Polish side. Accessible by foot - some steep ascents on the way, it takes few hours to walk there. There is an option for cars available, with new big carpark (charge) at the footsteps of the labyrinth with some refreshments and hot food on sale. But because of the access road being very narrow there's one way traffic only, so every hour at an full hour all cars go one way, at half past the other direction is available. The entrance is situated at the south end of the labyrinth, with little kiosk selling entry tickets, and also maps, guide books and souvenirs. Round walk through Błędne Skały (Errant Rocks) takes about 40 minutes, and is wet and slippery in many places, with plenty of puddles, so waterresistant shoes are good idea. After negotiating all narrow passes and deep corridors you leave labyrinth at the north end, than walk back to the south entrance by new path bypassing massif from the west. Great views from the highest point, mainly towards Czech side.

Amazing National Park with Labyrynth like Mountains.
Reviewed By KarolaRS
One of the most interesting places in Poland. A masterpiece of nature! Great place for the whole family, brilliant views, and delicious coffee to grab at the top. On the Sunday that we visited, there were very few people on the trail - best is Rock Mushrooms, the trail which leads from the foot of Szczeliniec Wielki to its gigantic rocks at the top.
Unfortunately fees must be paid, however reasonable amount.

We have been a few times now and always enjoy our wander around, each year they manage a different display of flowers. True it does get busy at times, but it can cope with it and it adds to the attraction. It's great to have a walk through on a night, there is just something special about it.

For English-speakers, this is not worth the trip. The "tour" starts on the hour. The room of the Skull Chapel is a very small room, which they cram all the tourists into. Then a nun stands in the front with a mic and proceeds to speak in Polish monotone for about 7 mins. Then she makes her way to the back of the room where the entrance is and lifts open the door on the floor. Then reveals more skull and bone remains and speaks a little bit more, let's everyone take their turn for a peak at what's been sitting beneath us all along (that is, if your fellow tourists are mindful enough to MOVE after they've had their turn). That is the end.
I thought seeing it in real life would give me some added benefit, or going to the site, they would have more information on it. No additional information at the site provided in English. For me, there was no real benefit to seeing it in real life. This was a short side trip from going to the Errant Rocks. If I had gone out of my way to have seen this site as the main attraction, I would have been utterly disappointed. Do not expect too much.

It is very small but busy place, especially when the weather outside is not great. Definitely good place to visit with kids, but even an adult will find it interesting. Plenty of toys from the past. Early versions of Lego and Barby, Jacek i Agatka etc,
Shame there is not much to interact with, it is only "walk and watch" place. However my kids 12 and 4 were enjoying it.

We visited Liptov Skansen in Hrabusice in Slovakia a week ago and thus we were a little bit disappointed in comparison. There is not so much to be seen inside here, but we appreciate the effort the local people put in developing this kind of remote place. You can go inside four houses, the windmill (empty, uphill) and the barn. If you like geocaching, it is geocaching friendly and you can enjoy two caches here.

Każdy temat rozpoczęty, ale brakuje kontynuacji i prezentacji z pełną pasją. Jest pokaz lepienia w glinie, stare chaty, mini zoo, piekarnia ze smacznym chlebkiem. Skansen we współczesnym wydaniu.

One of the best spa parks in the region. Very pretty with a wide variety of trees. Small artificial lake with ducks. (City is asking people to stop feeding them to clean up the water.) Modern looking playground for kids. My wife and I come every autumn to see the fall colors change,

Miejsce, w którego wykonanie została włożona pasja i niesamowite zamiłowanie połączone ze zdolnościami manualnymi. Choć mieści się w jednym pokoju, to warto przyjrzeć się każdej z figurek. Większość z napędem, a całość oświetlona i wykonana z pomysłem.
