Discover Libiąż

Libiąż has many different sides: the Parish Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, walking and cycling trails, family horse rides, a mining tunnel and a wine-tasting room each offer something different. There are also panoramic views from the peaks of the Libiąż Hills. When planning your trip, it is therefore worth first considering whether you are mainly looking for culture, outdoor activities, shared experiences or views of the landscape.

Church art with links to Kraków

The Parish Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Libiąż was completed in 1911, based on a design by Teodor Talowski. Its interior furnishings also have a special connection: they were inspired by those of St. Mary’s Basilica in Kraków. The church thus brings together a specific architectural design and an artistic model from Kraków. Those interested in churches and their design will find a distinct cultural highlight in Libiąż. The year marks when the church was completed; at the same time, the inspiration drawn from St. Mary’s Basilica directs attention to its interior furnishings.

Walking and cycling trails of different lengths

A green hiking trail runs through a small western section of Libiąż. It comes from the Silesian Voivodeship and passes through Stawy Bielnik and Jaworzno-Byczyna. Within the municipality of Libiąż, it is about 5 km long. This figure refers to the section within the municipality, not to the entire route.

For cyclists, there is another point of reference: the local red cycling trail is 44.1 km long and starts at Libiąż City Hall. The considerably different route length gives you a concrete guide for planning your day. The walking trail and cycling trail are two separate options; the information provided does not indicate that they form a shared route. If you choose a holiday rental in Libiąż, you can make outdoor activities on the trails one possible focus of your trip and plan each route separately based on its stated length.

Family horse rides and a look at mining

The “Tęcza” riding school in Libiąż organises family horse rides. This makes a shared experience on horseback one of the local activities on offer. Another place to visit is a mining tunnel on the grounds of the Janina Mining Plant: about 200 metres are set aside for visitors. This approximate length gives an idea of the extent of the visit, but says nothing about its duration or format. Horse riding and the mining tunnel appeal to different interests and can be considered separately when choosing activities.

Wine and panoramic views

Winnica Libiąż is located in Libiąż Mały, a district of the city of Libiąż. It has a tasting room for dozens of people.

Those looking to focus on views of the surrounding area can enjoy a panorama from the peaks of the Libiąż Hills, taking in the entire city, the Krzeszowice Trench, Garb Tenczyński and the Oświęcim Basin. A holiday rental in Libiąż suits a stay where views of the city and surrounding landscape are part of the experience.
