This location was not selected by chance because the bishop, later to become a cardinal and Pope John Paul II, loved Low Beskids and the nearby Rudawka Rymanowska with the fascinating Wall of Olza. Visitors may admire here the priceless relics related to his hiking trips. The exhibits include the cardinal’s tent, camping chair, backpack, boots, and zucchetto as well as devotional objects.
