Połom Mały: Stations of the Cross, wine and cycling route

Połom Mały offers several distinct reasons to plan a trip: the Stations of the Cross leading to the Jubilee Cross, wine growing and tastings at Winnica Nowizny, and the “Trasa 13 – U podnóży Szpilówki” cycling route. In addition, the municipality of Iwkowa hosts an annual culinary and tourism event in September. If you are considering staying in the area, you can choose between religious interest, wine and cycling, while also taking a seasonal event in the municipality into account.

Stations of the Cross and Lourdes Grotto

A replica of the Grotto of Lourdes stands at the first station of the Stations of the Cross near the Jubilee Cross in Połom Mały. The Stations of the Cross lead to the Jubilee Cross. For travellers who want to include religious sites in their trip to Poland, this arrangement provides a specific point of reference: the grotto is associated with a particular station, while the Jubilee Cross is the destination of the route. The religious connection therefore consists both of a named feature of the site and of the route leading to it. This distinction is useful when planning a visit focused on religious culture.

Wine growing at Winnica Nowizny

At Winnica Nowizny, the focus shifts to wine growing. The hosts offer a guided tour of the vineyard and a multimedia presentation about wine growing, winemaking and wine consumption. The two activities offer different perspectives: the tour focuses on the vineyard, while the presentation covers several topics along the path from growing grapes to consuming wine. Winnica Nowizny has a tasting cellar whose history dates back to 1891. Next to Winnica Nowizny, an ornate vaulted stone cellar is built into the slope, where tastings take place. You can therefore choose between a tour, a themed presentation and two different tasting venues. If you plan to take part in any of these activities, confirm your visit date in advance.

Cycling on Trasa 13

There is another specific option for cyclists: the “Trasa 13 – U podnóży Szpilówki” route passes through Połom Mały. It also runs through Iwkowa, Kąty, Drużków, Pusty and Wojakowa. Połom Mały is therefore one of several named places along the route; by contrast, the Jubilee Cross is the destination of the Stations of the Cross. If you include the cycling route in your plans, check the current route conditions before setting out.

A culinary event in the municipality of Iwkowa

Every September, the municipality of Iwkowa hosts the Święto Suszonej Śliwki, a tourism and culinary event. This annual event broadens your plans beyond the individual attractions in Połom Mały to include the municipality as a whole. If you are considering a September stay, include the current event dates in your plans.

Different scales to consider when choosing a destination

When choosing where to stay, it is worth considering the different scale of these attractions. The Stations of the Cross and wine activities are tied to specific places in Połom Mały, the cycling route passes through several named places, and the Święto Suszonej Śliwki is an event held by the municipality of Iwkowa. This can help you decide whether to choose the area for its religious or wine-related offerings, include a cycling route through several places in your travel plans, or take the September event at the municipal level into account.
