Połom Mały brings together three distinct themes for a stay: the Stations of the Cross leading to the Jubilee Cross, winegrowing at Winnica Nowizny and the Trasa 13 cycling route. Particularly specific features include a replica of the Lourdes grotto at the first station of the Stations of the Cross, a tasting cellar with a history dating back to 1891, and a tour with a multimedia presentation. The cycling route passes through several places, offering a different scale for planning. To choose accommodation and plan your trip, it helps to first decide what matters most to you.
Jubilee Cross and Lourdes Grotto
The Stations of the Cross lead to the Jubilee Cross in Połom Mały. A replica of the Lourdes grotto is located at the first station. The station and the destination mark two different points along the route: the grotto is at the beginning, while the Jubilee Cross is the endpoint. The replica is therefore a distinct religious feature within the Stations of the Cross and should not be confused with the cross itself. For travelers interested in religious sites, the particular connection lies in this sequence of grotto, route and Jubilee Cross.
Winegrowing at Winnica Nowizny
At Winnica Nowizny, tours, learning and tastings take center stage. The hosts offer a tour of the vineyard and a multimedia presentation about winegrowing, winemaking and wine consumption. The formats have different focuses: the tour explores the vineyard, while the presentation covers the subject from growing and production through to consumption. A tasting cellar at Winnica Nowizny has a history dating back to 1891. Next to Winnica Nowizny, an elaborately vaulted stone cellar is built into the slope, where tastings are held. If you plan to attend a tour, presentation or tasting, check in advance when the activity you want is available.
Cycling route through several places
The “Trasa 13 – U podnóży Szpilówki” cycling route passes through Połom Mały and continues through Iwkowa, Kąty, Drużków, Pusty and Wojakowa. It runs over the hills around Iwkowa and is described as challenging and highly scenic. Both features matter when choosing a ride: the description highlights the views as well as the difficulty. The route description was published in 2022; check current route conditions before setting out.
A September event in the Iwkowa municipality
The Święto Suszonej Śliwki takes place every September in the Iwkowa municipality. The name refers to the dried plum; the event is focused on tourism and food. This recurring September event adds a municipality-wide occasion to the themes associated with Połom Mały. If you would like to plan your trip around the festival, check the dates for the relevant year in advance.
Three scales of trip planning
The travel options differ in their geographic scope: the Stations of the Cross lead to the Jubilee Cross in Połom Mały, Trasa 13 passes through several places, and the Święto Suszonej Śliwki takes place in the Iwkowa municipality. These offer three different approaches to planning—a specific religious destination, a cycling route through multiple places, and a seasonal food event.
