Just a short distance from Krakow lies the 932 mile (1,500 km) Wooden Architecture Route—a collection of 200 structures including churches, belfries, granaries, cottages, and houses. Remarkably well-preserved, this region gives a fascinating glimpse into the local culture of Polish village life.
The tour goes through selected sites located in the Kraków vicinity: the picturesque village of Lanckorona with romantic buildings situated around the market, a manor house in Stryszów located at the foot of Mount Chełm, and Wygiełzów Heritage Park, where you can find homesteads with orchards and floral gardens, as well as a church with a bell tower, all set in the beautiful countryside.
