Spacer po Bobowej

Bobowa

Why download our audio guide to Bobowa onto your phone? Because it offers a simple and engaging way to get to know all the main attractions of this picturesque little town. And there is plenty to see!Bobowa lies between Nowy Sącz and Gorlice, in pleasant foothill countryside. Although it is one of the smallest towns in Poland, it prides itself on centuries-old traditions. The audio guide starts in the Market Square, but soon directs visitors into a side street, at the end of which stands a timber-and-masonry synagogue. It is worth trying to get hold of the keys, as the interior has survived in very good condition.At the synagogue, the audio guide also recounts the fascinating story of the wedding of the Bobowa tzaddik's daughter to a wealthy Jew from Kraków. All one can say is: what a wedding it was!Next, we return to the Market Square and take a rest by the fountain with the sculpture of a lacemaker – Bobowa is, after all, Poland's centre of bobbin lace!Later on, a walk to two historic churches awaits us. In the parish church you will find a superb canvas by none other than Jacek Malczewski – the painting “Crucifixion” hangs high on the wall of the chancel.Just one more look at the manor house standing near the parish church, once owned by the Długoszowski family, whose best-known member was “the first uhlan of the Second Polish Republic”, General Bolesław Wieniawa-Długoszowski, and… the audio guide is already bidding us farewell.See you again in Bobowa!
