Discover Krzczonów

Krzczonów can be explored through its specific cultural landmarks and a clearly described hiking trail. These offer different focal points for planning your trip: you can learn about the history of the church and chapels or take into account the walking time for a longer tour.

Church, Chapels and Places of Remembrance

The parish church of St. Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr, was built in 1992–1993. The parish under this patronage in Krzczonów was founded in 1936. The dates refer to two different aspects: the founding of the parish and the construction of the church.

Another religious site is a stone wayside shrine featuring a statue of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. It dates from 1885 and bears registration number B-331/M, dated 7 March 2013. The monument thus combines a religious image with a specific historical date.

The chapels also add different dates to the history of the area: the first brick chapel was built at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries; the present-day chapel dates from 1886. As part of a restoration project, one historic chapel each in Krzczonów and Skomielna Czarna was also restored. A historic chapel each in Krzczonów and Skomielna Czarna was restored as part of a restoration project.

The grave of priest Szymon Hanuszek is in the parish cemetery. A monument and a grave in this cemetery also commemorate the victims of the 1944 fighting in Zawadka. Personal remembrance and commemoration of the victims of a historical conflict thus stand side by side. If you are interested in the history of the area, these landmarks offer different points of reference: architectural history, religious art and commemorative culture.

Hiking Trail and Geographical Orientation

The “Oddziały „Żelbetu“ w masywie Kotonia” hiking trail runs from Tokarnia via Jaworzyny, Groń, the Dłużyce clearing, Zawadka and the Potok Rusnaków valley to Krzczonów. The route is listed as 16.5 kilometres long, with an approximate walking time of four hours and ten minutes. Together, the distance and duration give you a specific indication of the time required. The route therefore runs from Tokarnia to its endpoint in Krzczonów.

As an additional geographical point of reference for the area, a 1.71-kilometre paved section of a municipal road runs from the Pcim municipal office in the direction of Krzczonów, alongside the S7 expressway. This road information concerns the area around the destination and should be distinguished from the hiking route described above. You can consider the two pieces of information separately when planning: the road describes a section in the surrounding area, while the hiking trail information covers a longer route with a named course and endpoint.
