One of the most popular and beautiful mountain among Tatry Mountains. It comprises three peaks: Small Giewont, Great Giewont and Long Giewont. The profile of the mountain is similar to a lying knight. On Great Giewont, there is a 15 m steel cross that is the site of many religious pilgrimages.
Biskupin is a fortified lake village built around 700 BC by a tribe belonging to the Lusatian culture. This Iron Age village was built on a flat island and surrounded by a barricade consisting of a wooden framework filled with earth and sand. The well-known Biskupin excavations are located on a peninsula encircled by lakes and swamps. An educational archaeological fair is held here annually in September. The museum pavilion offers a permanent historical display. In the nearby village of Wenecja is a narrow-gauge railway museum. During the summer, the 19th century train travels between Znin and Gasawa passing through Biskupin and Wenecja.
