Rupniów between the valley, mountains and culture
Accommodation in Rupniów

Valley and elevations
The surrounding massifs are called Kostrza (730 m above sea level), Zęzowa (705 m above sea level) and Pasierbiecka Góra (764 m above sea level). Zęzowa is the lowest, and Pasierbiecka Góra the highest; Kostrza lies between them. The difference between the outer elevations is 59 metres. Together, the three names locate the valley between massifs with peaks of differing heights. Rupniów is also in the Beskid Wyspowy.

Folk culture, a historic monument and riding lessons
The KGW Rupniów-Centrum association takes part in folk presentations, competitions and festivals at municipal, county and regional level, promoting the folk culture of the Limanowa municipality. Alongside the local history of architecture, the association’s work offers a cultural perspective on the municipality and the region.
Rupniów is home to a 19th-century chapel figure column, listed in the heritage register of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. It was entered in the register in 2022, and restoration work on the column has been completed. The 19th century dates the structure; 2022 refers to its registration.
The Rodzinna Stadnina Koni Złoty Dukat riding stable in Rupniów offers riding lessons led by qualified professionals. If you would like to include horse riding in your holiday plans, it is a specific activity to consider alongside the routes and cultural attractions.
