Wang Church is a 12th-century wooden church that was originally located in Norway and later transported to Karpacz, Poland in the 19th century. The church's architecture resembles Viking longships, adding to its historical and cultural significance. Visitors can also explore the picturesque Karkonosze National Park nearby, known for its rare plant and animal species as well as breathtaking landscapes.
this beautiful charming wooden church offers a glimpse into the past with its unique design and craftsmanship. Tour is available with a small fee. Don’t miss the stunning views of the valley from the small cemetery. Parking fee: 5€ per hour.
Hong P — Google review
It's a very historically important church. It's a wooden church with beautiful exterior architecture. There's a small cemetery surrounding the church. While many churches in Poland are free to enter, this one costs 14 zł, with an additional 5 zł if you have a camera. I didn't go in because there were large groups of people inside.
Ruslan M — Google review
Worth to see, very nice little wooden church with beautiful well maintained grounds. Ticket is cheap and you can spend there as much time as you want. To there there you can leave your car on paid parking and take a walk. Some little shops and coffee places around. View is spectacular
Lena — Google review
A small wooden Viking-style church surrounded by a small old cemetery. The steep trip up will reward you with breathtaking views. What I don’t accept personally is paying an entrance fee to a church!

Karpacz and Wang Church are kinda places you should visit before die! I had visit there by my bike 🚲, saw amazing nature and had an amazing experience.

If you want to see an original Norwegian Stave Church without travelling North, that is the solution. The history behind is even more interesting. Definitely worth visiting.

Waterfalls
The Wild Waterfall, located in Karpacz, is a picturesque and easily accessible spot that offers enchanting views throughout the year. It is not just an ordinary mountain stream but an unpredictable river originating from a high altitude and flowing through lush green slopes. Visitors can explore the surrounding area to discover more beautiful waterfalls and scenic spots. The waterfall provides a magical experience with its refreshing waters and serene ambiance, making it an ideal stop during a summer hike.
I loved this place so much. It’s such a calming atmosphere and you can do great pictures. It’s also refreshing to go inside the water after an exhausting hike.
Oliver L — Google review
A breathtaking spot deep in nature! The waterfall is wild, powerful, and mesmerizing. Perfect for a short hike, photos, and a peaceful reset. Easy to reach, surrounded by lush greenery and crisp, fresh air. If you want to feel truly connected to nature — this is the place. Highly recommended!
Andriy V — Google review
The place is quite nice, but when we were there, the water wasn't flowing at all, so it didn't look much like a waterfall. It probably depends on the weather and the season. On the bright side, because there was less water, our kids really enjoyed climbing on the rocks. Overall, it's a great short stop on your trip.
TheJirator — Google review
Nice place to visit. Either a gentle hike from Karpacz, or you can get the 'bus train' from the centre. It's not a whole day affair, but a good place for a scenic detour on the way to the gondolas.
Gavin H — Google review
Visited Wild Waterfall at the end of September and absolutely loved it! The place wasn’t crowded at all, which made the experience even better. It was calm, peaceful, and beautifully clean – perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Highly recommended if you're looking for a quiet escape with stunning views!

Restaurant

Nestled within the charming Lesny Dwor complex in Karpacz, Mamma Mia is a delightful restaurant that offers a cozy atmosphere and a menu brimming with homestyle Italian dishes. Guests can indulge in an array of options, from mouthwatering burgers and pizzas to delectable pasta plates. The culinary journey begins with enticing antipasti like shrimp, marinated tartare, and homemade focaccia bruschetta.
My friends and I had a wonderful dinner at Mamma Mia. Our waitress, Maja, made our visit extra special—she was incredibly lovely, friendly, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and since it wasn’t too busy, we could fully enjoy our meal and conversation. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions and reasonable prices, making it excellent value for money. Whether you're looking for a cosy dinner with friends, a family meal, or a special occasion, Mamma Mia is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

I ordered a Divina vegetarian pizza, which tastes amazing with caramelized onion on top. Reduced two stars for tiramisu which was loaded with chocolate powder and sugar. Tried tiramisu at many places but definitely this tastes bad. Not sure why the hype on reviews
B K — Google review
I appreciate the interior and the idea with Leonardo da Vinci quotes and drawings for kids as a table setting, also the non-alcoholic Hugo was tasty. The “burger wolowy” was very dry/well done, fries were OK. Nobody paid attention to me for extremely long while despite empty plate and glass. Also, the waitress didn’t speak English or German, so it is handy to have some basic knowledge of Polish (actually, even the menu is in PL only)
Frantisek T — Google review
Nice place with extremely polite young people waiting tables. Well organized staff had no trouble to serve drinks and food for a large group of guests same time so we could eat our food together. Inside greets you with modern style and loft type ceiling lamps. Wide range food selection from sea food through pizza, pasta and beef. We enjoyed our meal and had a good time. Food was tasty and I can recommend this place. One star deducted because of the spider web hanging inside the lamp so there is a place for improvement. However over all well done!!!
Paul J — Google review
We went here in search of vegetarian food and walked it happily with a tummy fool of yummy food. We ordered Pizzas and Gnocchi, all the three dishes tasted delicious and the presentation blew our mind. The only disappointment is the chocolate powder on top of the Tiramisu which was a bit too much. The staff was super friendly and helped us in English!

Lovely restaurant and great food. They have their own bakery, bread was fantastic. We had pizzas, salads and don't forget to order soup. Yummy.

Horrible staff, they don't communicate, you try to reserve a table, they don't tell you anything at all. The food looked good on pictures I'll give them that. When I finally managed to get a table for my partner and our baby some bloke just sat there since he waited at the door like a good dog. AVOID AT ALL COST. Since it's a touristy place they don't give a damn about you...
Patrik J — Google review
I actually don't understand such high reviews. We stopped for some lunch & ordered pasta Bolognese and limon risotto. Pasta Bolognese was ok but risotto... I mean, it was a rice porridge with parmesan. The asparagus was overdone like 5 times (turned brown). The service... I cannot say the waiter was welcoming or friendly. Was super usual. And we needed to wait to get her attention for a bill. Ended up coming and paying by the bar when she was chatting with another waitress. The atmosphere... The oven is big and beautiful, the music was great but there are so much of plastic decor. In dust. Idk but IMHO it's not very "restaurant'ish". Definitely not a place to come back.

Western City is a Wild West-themed amusement park located in the picturesque countryside of Karpacz, Poland. Spanning across 65 hectares, this attraction features various western-style buildings such as saloons and sheriff's offices, along with entertaining activities like archery competitions and staged bank robberies. Visitors can also interact with animals including horses, goats, cows, and donkeys. The park offers a nostalgic experience of Poland before the end of communism.
A place worth to visit, unique and nice vibes, kind staff specially the man who rides you the horse. It would be great to have more animals like cows and activities of interaction with animals like milking, washing, etc. We paid: 46 PLN/Adult + 15 PLN for parking.
Fahed B — Google review
Went on a Sunday at 2 PM. Huuuge prices. The entrance fee of 50 Zl per person (only cash) was outrageously high given the fact that almost all attractions were closed. The show was barely a few minutes long (bank robbery). The actors were less then enthusiastic to play the roles. Very few anymals and mostly hidden away. Only the small train was open. Food and drinks were ok. Would not have gone If I had known that everything is closed.

This a wonderful kids tourist spot. It really is mainly for kids. Came during the summer and weather was perfect. Kids horse rides, bouncy house, and a bull ride for all ages. I had fun as a an adult. Can spend a couple of hours here.
Oz D — Google review
If you want to experience how Poland was before it abandoned communism, you need to visit this place. No pictures or words can do this place justice. It’s definitely worth the entrance fee just for the comedic value alone. Alarms bells should have sounded when we pulled into the “car park “ and got charged 15 złotys for the privilege to park. We came here on a grey Sunday morning and thought we would struggle to get half an hour’s entertainment…..two hours later we were still rolling around the floor laughing! Ignore the review below about one of the attractions “just being a pole in the ground “, we were particularly impressed by this pole, it was shiny and at least 2.5 metres tall, definitely not worthy of being called “just a pole”! When you think the place has hit a low point you find they’ve conjured up another cultural misappropriation.

From high tech hotels to unplug youth/scouts amenities - there is everything there.

Really beautiful place. We didn't have much time here as it was an impromptu trip, but we got to take the gondola up to the top and walk for a while. The gondola is approximately £20 per person for a ride up and down and lasts about 15 minutes to the top. Not many people speak English here so be prepared for that! Its colder at the top than you expect!

Well kept hiking trail considering the fact that it cost 8 Polish zloty per adult. Very nice breath taking view. The last stretch to the shelter was the most difficult but it was worth every step

One of the nicest places in the Sudetan Mountain ranges. Relatively inexpensive. Lost of hiking, bike riding of cross country skiing opportunities. Service levels in most places slowly improving.

Beautiful place to visit. Maybe it's not for everyone to hike there but it's worth trying. And you can stand at the border and see both countries (Czechia and Poland) from a perspective. Don't forget to buy a 3day pass.

Really nice park! Great place for family walks, there are paths for the family but there are also some harder paths where you can challenge yourself to do. Overall amazing however it would be better if there were more bins in the park.

Very picturesque park where you can escape to have fresh air and a touch of nature. The only thing wad that it was very difficult to find hot tea or coffee served on the premises. During cold weather that would have been great. Apart from that hiking was very well done with railing.

Nestled in the charming area of Sobieszów, Pizzeria Colosseum has been a beloved dining spot since 1999, offering an inviting atmosphere perfect for gatherings of all sizes. This eatery is renowned for its delectable pizzas with a fantastic dough, alongside mouthwatering pasta dishes and fresh salads. Guests rave about the creamy shrimp tagliatelle and the irresistible garlic bread that keeps them coming back for more.
Amazing creamy pasta with plenty of juicy shrimps! (under the tagliatelle and spinach sauce) Colosseum pizza was also delicious!
