Tips from the Community

April 12, 2026, Przydrożna Kapliczka w Pniu Lipy

By the road leading from Podole to Przydonica through Glinik, there is an unusual shrine made in the trunk of a felled tree. Inside, a small, glassed-in chapel with a wooden sculpture of Jesus the Sorrowful has been placed. The trunk is covered with a multi-pitched roof. Interestingly, the trunk is still alive - young branches covered with leaves are growing from it, which gives this place a unique charm.

A beautiful wooden church built here in 1753. Built here away from the lake (it was previously in Tęgoborze) because it was previously flooded by the lake (apparently some say that the faithful sailed to that church in kayaks!). Great views from the church!

Beautiful view of Lake Rożnowskie from the place where the Przydonianka River flows into it. From here you can see Gródek nad Dunajcem beautifully on its shore and you can see far to the west. By the way, right next to it is a good shelter where you can rest and enjoy these views while sitting, not standing.
