Woodland scenery and geographical setting

The sanctuary is located on Żar Hill amid dense woodland. If this wooded, hilly setting is to shape the character of your trip, include it as a separate focus when planning your accommodation.

The wider municipal area lies on the boundary between the Maków Beskid and the Wieliczka Foothills, approximately 330 to 400 metres above sea level. This geographical setting helps you organise your accommodation search not only by type of accommodation but also with the destination’s landscape in mind.

Getting there and searching for accommodation

You can reach Kalwaria Zebrzydowska by car, bus or train.

This makes it possible to prepare your journey according to your personal travel plans.

For your search, you can choose a holiday apartment, holiday house or hotel as a starting point. Then match the type of accommodation to the focus of your stay: the sanctuary and its history, the Calvary trails, the wooded hills or the geographical setting of the municipal area. This keeps your accommodation search closely connected to what you would like to experience in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska and how you would like to get there.
