Discover Inwald
Accommodation in Inwald
Inwald stands out for its unusual mix of papal history, miniature architecture and prehistoric animal figures. Those planning a holiday with specific sights to discover will find a range of different themes here. The most striking is the Ogród Jana Pawła II, with its floral portrait of Pope John Paul II.
Papal history as a garden experience
The floral portrait is framed by St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City and the Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wadowice. Both buildings form part of the display and give the portrait its distinctive frame. The Ogród Jana Pawła II combines this motif with further insights into the life of the Polish pope.
The garden has paths stretching 8 km. Along them, visitors can view individual elements of the portrait and learn about the Polish pope’s path to sainthood through photographs. Extraordinary stories from his life are also among the things to discover along the paths. Those who enjoy walking and are interested in visual details and biographical themes will find both brought together here.
Buildings in miniature
The Świat Marzeń park in Inwałd features 65 well-known buildings from around the world. Most of the miniatures are made to a scale of 1:25. The focus is therefore on architecture in miniature and a selection of landmarks from different parts of the world. The predominantly uniform scale makes the models recognizable as miniatures, although it does not apply to every individual building.
A maze and prehistoric figures
The park Miniatur Inwałd offers a different kind of discovery with its 2,000 m² maze. Dead ends and a complex system of green corridors define its layout. Unlike viewing miniature buildings, the focus here is on exploring a winding network of paths.
Dinolandia features figures of dinosaurs, ichthyosaurs, pterosaurs and other prehistoric creatures in a range of sizes. The collection thus includes different prehistoric groups, not just dinosaurs. Those drawn to this theme will encounter a subject quite different from the architectural history presented in miniature or the garden’s biographical content.
Location and getting there
Inwałd lies between Andrychów and Wadowice, directly on Voivodeship Road 52, which runs from Kraków to Bielsko-Biała. This places the village along a specific road connection. Bus stops are located in front of the parks in Inwałd. When deciding whether Inwald is a suitable holiday destination, you may therefore want to consider both the sights that interest you and its location on Road 52.
