Highlight • Religious Site

Historic wooden church from 1727. Today unused. Currently under renovation. Downstairs, by the manor park, there are benches and tables. You can relax ;)

Witch Rock (Czarownica), Skamieniałe Miasto, Ciężkowice

Highlight • Natural Monument

According to one legend, a witch is a woman who was turned into a rock for cursing a priest who was rushing with the Blessed Sacrament to a sick person.
Another legend says that witches and witches from all over the area met here for the Sabbath. The second legend seems to be still valid, considering that for several years there has been a mysterious fire ring at the foot of the rock - probably created by witches who met here.
The safest way to get to the rock is from the parking lot via a footbridge hanging over the road, designed to make it easier for tourists to safely explore the "Petrified City".

Petrified City – Entrance

Highlight • Rest Area

The parking lot directly in front is subject to a charge and has a barrier. On the other side of the street, there is another small parking lot where you can still park for free.
The entrance to the park costs 7 Złoty (since the exchange rate is roughly 1 to 4, it currently corresponds to about €1.75). You could also sneak in, but I think the price is okay and if you remember it from before, you have to admit that it has been done really great. I'm happy to pay it.
The paths are well laid out, the signage is great, and you can really walk a very beautiful and varied circular route.
I visit the Petrified Town regularly every few years since my childhood and am very enthusiastic about the transformation / modernization.
