In Magdalenka, Malawa combines far-reaching views with architectural history and a variety of routes. The modern observation tower stands on the first rise of the Dynów Foothills. From there, you can see Rzeszów, Łańcut and aircraft approaching Jasionka Airport. In favorable conditions, the view extends as far as the Tatra Mountains. The named city and airport sights therefore form one part of the panorama; the Tatras are an additional distant view, visible depending on conditions.

Views and History on Magdalenka

The historic filial church of St. Mary Magdalene stands right beside the observation tower. It is visible from the platform. The brick church was built in the 18th century to a design by Tylman z Gameren. The short distance between the tower and the church makes them distinct viewpoints on Magdalenka: the platform directs your gaze across the landscape, while the church offers a tangible connection to the area’s architectural history.

The church can be accessed from the outside. A visit to the interior may be possible by prior telephone arrangement. So if you would like to see inside, make arrangements by phone beforehand. This lets you include a church visit in your plans without implying that the interior is always open to visitors.

Routes and Play Areas

Three routes with different focuses cross Magdalenka: the red tourist and historical Colonel Leopold Lisa-Kuli Trail, the Via Regia pilgrimage route, and the Green Velo cycling route. These descriptions can help you choose a suitable reason for your outing: one route has a tourist and historical focus, another is designated as a pilgrimage route, and the third as a cycling route. Magdalenka is therefore not only a viewpoint, but also a place where different route themes meet. Trail conditions may change; check them before setting out.

Play facilities are also among the area’s specific features. Completed in 2020, the redevelopment of Maria Magdalena Hill in Malawa included a multi-generational park with chess and a playground. A playground for small children was built on Magdalenka. Chess and the playground offer different kinds of recreation; these facilities complement the views and historic building with another point of interest.

Considering Malawa as a Holiday Apartment Destination

When looking for a holiday apartment in Malawa, you can first consider which of these aspects you want to shape your stay: the view from the tower, the church’s architectural history, a particular type of route, or the play areas. For the views, it is useful to distinguish between the named sights and the Tatra panorama, which is visible only in favorable conditions. If you plan to visit the church interior, prior arrangements by phone should be part of your planning.
