Kupjak: Sledding, Zipline and Local History

Kupjak combines winter activities, outdoor pursuits and local history. If you’re looking for a hotel in Kupjak, start by deciding what matters most: winter sledding, activities at the Adrenalin Park or the cultural significance of the Church of St. Vitus. The differences between these highlights give you a practical starting point for planning your trip.

Winter Activities at Gorski Park Kupjak

Gorski Park Kupjak is set in natural surroundings at an altitude of more than 700 metres above sea level. Designed for families, its winter activities include a sledding area with a conveyor lift, a hut serving food and refreshments, and a lounge area. Facility details and operating conditions may change seasonally depending on snow conditions and site management. If sledding is the deciding factor for your stay, check the conditions before your visit.

Zipline, Suspension Bridge and Group Activities

At Adrenalin Park Kupjak, the zipline runs along a 200-metre cable. The suspension bridge offers a different kind of activity, linking tree platforms with obstacles at different heights. This means there are two distinct experiences: riding the zipline and moving between platforms and elevated obstacles. The park also organises tailored team-building programmes for groups, adapted to each group’s requirements.

The Church of St. Vitus and Its History

The Church of St. Vitus is a cultural landmark in Kupjak. Construction began in 1874 and was completed in 1882. Local tradition links St. Vitus to the history of the village: on the saint’s feast day, 15 June, open-air Masses were held at the site of an earlier chapel; later, St. Vitus became Kupjak’s patron saint. Alongside the building’s history, religious tradition and the memory of the former chapel site are also part of its story.

Kupjak on the Cycling Route

There is also a specific connection for cycling trip planning: the “Rivers of life” route includes Kupjak as a stop. This places the village in the context of a cycling route, alongside its named activities and cultural themes.
