Local attractions
Escape to Oaza Leńcze to experience laid-back relaxation and enjoy doing "sweet nothing" on a deck chair, picnic blanket or swing. However, if you are staying with us for a bit longer and want to explore some local attractions, we have a number of recommendations.
For lovers of historical sites:
- Lanckorona, also called Małopolska's City of Angels, is a small village famous for its historical wooden cottages lining the market square, its blissful atmosphere and cosy cafes. On the hill you can visit the ruins of the medieval Lanckorona castle. As you wander through the narrow streets, look out for local artists who are particularly fond of this area. In the summer, the village hosts quite a few cultural events, such as, St. John's Fair, various festivals, car and motorbike rallies, and an outdoor cinema
- The Sanctuary of the Passion and St. Mary in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska is often referred to as the Polish Jerusalem. It is the only Calvary in the world listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Wadowice - the town where Karol Wojtyla, more commonly known as Pope John Paul II, came from. While here, be sure to taste the nationally famous papal cream cake (Polish “kremówka”)
- The Renaissance castle in Sucha Beskidzka, known as Little Wawel (Wawel is the name of the royal castle in Kraków)
- And, of course, anyone who hasn't come from Kraków should include it on their list of day trips
