At the upper end of Karpacz - just before the entrance to the Krkonoše National Park - stands an architectural gem, the Wang Stave Church. It was built in the 12th century in the village of Vang in southern Norway (in the Valdres region). When the Norwegians wanted to build a new one in the 19th century instead of the now defunct church, they decided to sell the church.

February 16, 2024,Mal Staw See in Polen – Blick auf Maly Staw Runde von Karpacz Górny

First problem: finding parking. Second problem: No junk there. The path was very slippery in places. That's why we shortened the route and took a different route back - unfortunately the paved path is extremely bad for our knees and feet.
Luckily we had some change with us for entry (see photo).

This route is easy to walk, but good shoes should be used. The paths are roughly paved. However, some sections are also real natural trails. It is also easy to do with children. I think it is possible from the age of 5. Ours are 7 and 12 years old.
There are several ways to go, you can go a …

October 17, 2021,Świątynia Wang – Mal Staw See in Polen Runde von Karpacz Górny🇲🇨

Today we went to the Świątynia Wang Church, which was moved from Norway to Karpacz, Silesia (by the Prussian King Wilhelm IV) in 1842. What an achievement! It was built in the 12th century! We connected that right away and hiked Staw See for the time. They were adventurous ways, but ingenious views that don't come across in the pictures.

Nice tour, but you should know that it goes up and down on large granite boulders. So wear sturdy shoes and sticks. But great prospects. Worth it.
