Actaully, this chapel, located near the park in the town of Czerma, freaked me out! They allow about 20 people in at a time and close the door behind you. Then they tell you the story of how back in the late 1700's, the local priest got together with a grave digger to decorate the chapel with skulls. Creepy!
You aren't allowed to take photos inside the chapel, so I got this picture from the Internet.

This is another must-see of the park. As it is located 919 m above sea level, you'll have to climb a lot of stairs to walk through here. The rock formations are fascinating. A highlight here is a crevice 100 m long and 20 m deep known as Piekielko (the little hell). We were here in June and there was snow in the crevice.

This is one of the highlights of the national park. It takes about a half hour to walk through this naturally formed rocky maze. You'll see amazing, unique rock formations as you duck, squeeze through, and follow the twists and turns of this labyrinth.

Having a car is pretty much a must to getting around here, unless you rent a bike or enjoy walking really long distances.
Start in Karlow and follow the signs to get to the park's main attractions: "Bledne Skaly" and "Szczeliniec Wielki".

What to buy: Outside many of the trailheads, you can find vendors selling traditional cheese, made from goat's milk. Try a small one first if you are wary. If you like it, buy a big one! It has a full flavor -Yum!

With a bicycle and a passport you can explore the park area quite well.
There are two main routes you can take (both are moderate in difficulty):
The "Wall" route (red) allows you to pedal through the most attractive parts of the Table Mountains on both sides of the border.
Take the "Table Mountains" route (blue) if you prefer to see the health resorts of Kudowa Zdroj, Duszniki Zdroj and Polanica Zdroj.
