Gołkowice - Walking Tour

Gołkowice is a small village in the Godów municipality, in the south of the Silesian Voivodeship, right on the border with the Czech Republic. A walk around the municipality is an encounter with history and Silesian culture – this is where Franciszek Pieczka and Marian Dziędziel come from, and historic wooden churches stand in the area, including the little church of Gołkowice, built in 1878, with a Gothic figure of the Madonna.

We prepared a walk from the tourist information point past the Lutheran church of 1910 to the wayside shrine of St John of Nepomuk and the little wooden church. The narrator talks about the local Lutherans, the “Westphalians” and the pilot Franciszek Surma, and some passages are read by Marian Dziędziel. The audio guide is available in Polish.
