Połom Mały: Vineyard, Stations of the Cross and Cycling Route

Połom Mały offers three distinct highlights to help you plan your trip: the Stations of the Cross leading to the Jubilee Cross, wine-related activities at Winnica Nowizny, and a cycling route through the village. So when choosing, it’s worth considering not only the subject but also the format: a religious route with a named station, a vineyard tour and multimedia presentation, or a route passing through several places.

Vineyard, cellar and tasting

Winnica Nowizny in Połom Mały has a tasting cellar with a history dating back to 1891. Next to the winery, a vaulted stone cellar is built into the hillside, where tastings take place. The hosts offer a vineyard tour and a multimedia presentation about viticulture, winemaking and wine consumption. The two formats have different focuses: the tour draws attention to the vineyard, while the presentation covers viticulture, winemaking and consumption in context. For anyone interested in wine, these are two different ways to explore the same subject. If you want to plan a tour, it’s best to arrange a time with the hosts in advance.

Stations of the Cross and the Jubilee Cross

A Stations of the Cross route leads to the Jubilee Cross in Połom Mały; at its first station is a replica of the Lourdes Grotto. This distinguishes the destination from a stop along the way: the Jubilee Cross is the route’s destination, while the grotto is at a particular point along the route. As a replica, it refers to Lourdes, while its specific location is tied to the first station of the Stations of the Cross. For travelers interested in religious sites, then, the destination is not the only point of interest; the route also has a named station.

Cycling route through several places

The cycling route “Trasa 13 – U podnóży Szpilówki” passes through Połom Mały and continues through Iwkowa, Kąty, Drużków, Pusty and Wojakowa. It also runs over the hills around Iwkowa. A route description published in 2022 describes it as challenging and offering very good views. The list of places and this description provide two specific points to consider: the route passes through several named places and is described as challenging and scenic. Check current route conditions before setting out. Allow enough time for the ride.

September in Iwkowa municipality

Święto Suszonej Śliwki, a tourist and culinary event, is held every year in September in Iwkowa municipality. September is therefore a seasonal point of reference if you also want to plan your trip around events in the municipality. The festival complements the wine-related attractions with another culinary event. If the timing matters to your plans, check the dates for the relevant year before traveling.
