Wadowice – Kalwaria Zebrzydowska – Wieliczka. Religious one day trip from Krakow.
Excursion to Wadowice, the town where Pope John Paul II was born. Time to pray in the church in which the saint was baptised, and a visit to the John Paul II biographic museum in his family home. From here we go on to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. The basilica here and the 42 wayside chapels and shrines that crown the hill are one of the foremost centres of pilgrimage in Poland. Karol Wojtyła made many pilgrimages here as a boy, and later as a priest, bishop, and ultimately as pope. Kalwaria has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in view of its historic value. Next we go to the town of Wieliczka, on the outskirts of Krakow, for a tour of its salt mine, a unique, UNESCO-listed relic of European medieval technology. A walk several kilometres in length through the chambers and chapels hollowed out from the rock salt, foremost among them in terms of its ornate beauty and size St Kinga’s Chapel.
