THE SANCTUARY OF MARIA ŚNIEŻNA

SNOW MARY

Igliczna Mountain has been a popular destination point of trips and pilgrimages for a long time. In the middle of the 18th century a copy of miraculous statuette of Our Lady of Snows from Maria Zell in Austria was brought there. It was put on a tree near the summit of Igliczna. During a violent storm the tree broke, but the statuette remained intact. It has been recognized as a miracle. In 1781 the construction of the sanctuary began. Fame of the figure spread rapidly through many miracles and wonderful healings, which were attributed to it. In 1983, during his second pilgrimage to Poland, Pope John Paul II crowned the statuette of Our Lady of Snows.
The summit of Igliczna is a great vantage point on Kłodzko area and the surrounding mountain ranges.
There are three trails leading to the top of Igliczna: green, yellow and red.
