How to get here?

The easiest way to get here is by your own car.

Near the museum, approximately 50 meters from the entrance there is a parking lot with about 20 parking spaces, a stony path leads to the entrance.

It is also possible to get here by public transport (bus). The open-air museum is located by the provincial road no. 957. There are buses going/ there go buses this road from Nowy Targ (38 km) and Jabłonka (12 km). When you come to the Ethnographic Park, the bus stop is located approx.100 m past the main gate of the museum, so you need to go back on a cobbled sidewalk and go across the road, but there is no pedestrian crossing there. When you leave the museum, the bus stop is located on the left, approx. 50 m walk from the gate, on the same side of the road, you can get there walking on the roadside.

Physical mobility - conditions of getting around the museum

There is a 50 m long paved path leading from the gate to the ticket office which is based in the historic Black Inn building (Polish: Czarna Karczma). To get there you walk up two steps, keep going straight ahead, pass a hall and enter the room where you can buy tickets, souvenirs and get all the necessary information. Here is also a meeting point with a guide. In the building located about 30 m behind the Black Inn, there is a toilet, you get there walking a rocky path, then going down five steps and through two doors of the width of less than 90 cm.
