Haluszowa lies directly on the northern slopes of the Pieniny Czorsztyńskie, in a valley basin formed by a stream that flows from the Snozka and Osice passes toward the Dunajec. The stream and the named ridges give the area a clear geographical orientation. A blue hiking trail also runs here through higher meadows and forests, while the branch chapel and a wayside shrine are part of its sacred heritage. This gives you two specific focuses when planning your trip: hikes in the surrounding landscape and religious buildings in the village.

Hiking Trails Between Meadows and the National Park

A scenic blue hiking trail runs through Haluszowa’s higher meadows and forests. It goes from Czorsztyn to Szczawnica, mainly via Trzy Korony. In Pieniny National Park, a blue trail leads from the entrance pavilion near Czorsztyn, over the Majerz mountain pasture, in the direction of Trzy Kopce. This offers specific trail destinations and routes in the national park to choose from, as well as the local landscape.

For map orientation, the names mentioned can be distinguished by their function: Czorsztyn and Szczawnica are the endpoints of the described route; Trzy Korony lies along it. Majerz and Trzy Kopce indicate the direction within the national park. Snozka and Osice are passes from which the stream flows toward the Dunajec. This distinction helps separate hiking destinations from the topographical orientation of Haluszowa. Before setting out, check the seasonal trail conditions and choose a section that suits your plans for the day.

Hala Majerz: Protected Area and Pastoral Landscape

Hala Majerz lies in the “Zielone Skałki” protection district of Pieniny National Park, in Haluszowa, and is crossed by a blue hiking trail. Sheep grazing was traditionally practiced on Hala Majerz. Historically, it helped preserve the tradition and maintain the distinctive biocoenosis of the pastureland. The protected landscape and the history of its use are both part of the picture of Majerz.

The office of the “Zielone Skałki” protection district, which also oversees Haluszowa, is located in the Majerz 56 educational pavilion in Haluszowa.

Chapel and Sacred Heritage

The branch chapel in Haluszowa is dedicated to Saints Fabian and Sebastian. It was completed before 1997 and consecrated on August 24, 1997. An annual indulgence celebration in honor of the two saints is held at the chapel on January 20. If you plan to travel specifically for this occasion, confirm the date in advance. January 20 provides a fixed date for this religious event; plan hikes with seasonal trail conditions in mind.

The wayside shrine in Haluszowa is a stone religious structure in a folk style, listed in the heritage records. Together with the branch chapel, it represents a different form of religious heritage: the chapel is dedicated to Saints Fabian and Sebastian, while the wayside shrine is characterized by its stone construction and folk style.
