Karpachu is a city in the south-west of Poland.
Karpacc is lying at the foot of the snow mountain at an altitude of 1602 meters. From Wroclaw a little less than 2 hours drive. The village was formed in the 14th century, and the people came here to extract gold. And in the 20th century, the status of the city as the ski resort has sharply increased. However, in the summer in Karpaca, it is very different: excellent climate, clean water, aromatic air, dense forests. All this is very and very useful for health.
As for the most ski base itself, it can be noted that compared with some other Polish bases, this is not very big. Total - 7 tracks and 7 lifts. Trails differ in terms of complexity. For beginners, you can try the flight track "Yang" (400 m)), for the middle peasants - "Złotoze" (3100 m), and for professionals - "Lickete" (3000 m). And on the basis there are two lanes, which begin with a height of 1065 and 800 meters. These tracks work in general all year round. You can ride on the ski treadmate "Homate" or just ride out of the tracks. A very fun event passes here every year in February, when tourists compete in rolling from the mountain on what fell.
And after sporting events, you can just walk around the neighborhoods of Karpacha. The beauty of nature, as they say, here "excavations." Especially good mountain waterfalls - some of them do not freeze even in winter! For example, you can walk to the so-called wild waterfall (Dziki) next to the carpaccum on the River Slash. Water drops from a height of more than two meters, forming a multistage cascade that licks large stones below. The waterfall was not formed by itself. The river had a property to spill and deliver many problems to residents of coastal villages. At the end of the last century there was a terrible flood, which destroyed the house and blocked the road, so the city administration decided to start building a river barrier that would hold water. That's how the waterfall was formed.
Be sure to visit Wang Church (Swiatynia Wang).
This uniform temple with a magnificent ornament has a long and interesting story. The church was built even at the beginning of the 13th century, in Norway. In the 19th century, the church wanted to demolish this, because she was too small and did not accommodate all the parishioners, and was in a deplorable state, although the locals were against demolition and even their forces tried to save the temple. As a result, one Norwegian artist and the architect decided to interfere with the Church and even wrote a letter to the municipality of Oslo, with a request to move the temple.
He was supported, but the main graph, which was engaged in this question, suddenly died and the case stroke. Therefore, the artist decided to just buy a church himself. And later with him, the Prussian king Wilhelm IV contacted him, who, by the way, was personally familiar with a young man, and suggested to transport this church in Potsdam and take all spending on himself. The church was dismantled, the materials were sent along the river, they brought first in one city, then the boards kept in another place, and then it was quickly chosen another place, in fact, where the church is now. The boards again lay on the ship and sent along the river. The collection of the temple was a difficult task - after all, carpenters did not know how the church looked in Norway, even though all the measurements were removed. The church was put on the mountain of 885 meters above sea level (and this is the highest point of the city) and collected it for two years. When everything completely ended, that initiative artist did not even come to the sanctification of the church - he was enough that the history had a happy end.
In general, this church has probably become one of the most visited wooden churches in the world, about 200,000 visitors crossed its threshold every year. Inside the temple, amazing statues are stored, and a high stone bell tower attached near the winds from the winds from the snow mountain. There is a church at Na śnieżkę 8.

Part of the dolls gave the museum locals. Museum is small, but the collection is impressive: dolls, houses, cars, soft toys, clay and wooden toys and much more. There are among the exhibits and toys of the 18th century, as well as modern dolls from Japan, Mexico and Australia. Also in the museum you can get to temporary exhibitions, no less interesting. This may be an exhibition of birds, christmas toys, porcelain dolls or bears. Since 2012, part of the collection is in the new museum building a 5-minute drive (at Karkonoska 5). Does not fit!
