Event
A trip to Niemcowa following in the footsteps of the characters from the book "School Above the Clouds"
We warmly invite you on a hike above the clouds!
As part of the exhibition "A Fly in Amber: Witold Chomicz and Maria Kownacka in the Sącz Region," we have organized an engaging themed walk to Mount Niemcowa—the site where the "School Above the Clouds" (the exhibition's namesake) once stood. The hike along the tourist trails will be led by PTTK guide Barbara Bałuc. The walk will feature stories about the book’s characters and readings of selected excerpts.
