See

Worth seeing

The hulking yellow church on the main square is always full of pilgrims. It contains the popular icon Our Lady of Wambierzyce. Starting on the church grounds, continuing across the street and finishing on a hill overlooking the town are life-sized representations of Calvary. Follow signs to the Szopka- a collection of tiny, mechanized scenes built and painted entirely by hand.

Where to eat

There are not many places to eat in Wambierzyce. Karczma on the main street is quite a good one.
