How to travel from WADOWICE to SCHWEINFURT?

Wadowice is located in Malopolska province on the Skawa River about 50 kilometers southwest of Krakow. It is inhabited by just over 18,000 people. The town impresses with its unusual climate, which is only enhanced by its small size and the surrounding mountains of Beskid Maly. Today, they are primarily a place of pilgrimage and excursions for the faithful not only from Poland, but also from all over Europe.

Being in Wadowice, the first thing to do is to head to the John Paul II Square, surrounded by 19th-century tenement houses, with a monument to this most famous Wadowice resident and the beautifully restored Basilica of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Inside it, the noteworthy features include the historic main altar, beautiful polychrome paintings on the walls of the chapels and the miraculous image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. This church is inextricably linked with Karol Wojtyla, who lived nearby and received important sacraments there. Visitors to Wadowice often direct their steps to the museum located in the family home of the Polish pope, where many memorabilia related to him can be found. Of course, being in this town, it is impossible not to taste the famous papal kremówki, the most famous Wadowice specialty.
