The Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows stands on the slope of Mount Krzyżowa, near the old trail from Kacwin to Łapsz Niżne. It is located right next to the Tatra Cycling Trail, and it is worth stopping here for a moment. The chapel was built around 1750. It has a rectangular plan with a semicircular apse.
