In the southern part of the Lower Park, you will find the Grotto, built in 1890 from local stone and dedicated to the figure of Marshal of the Galician Sejm – Mikołaj Zyblikiewicz. He was a deserving man, thanks to whom the road connecting Szczawnica with the Red Monastery along the Dunajec River was built, and it now serves as an attraction for many tourists visiting the Pieniny Mountains. In the arched recess, you can see a bronze plaque with the image of the marshal, created by Józef Nałęcz-Hakowski.

The famous historian Karol Estreicher expressed critical opinions about the newly built structure. He claimed that it resembled a shell for a prompter and that the structure itself would not survive a few winters. Undoubtedly, he was mistaken about the durability of the material, as the grotto can still be admired today. A significant asset of this place is the vegetation that surrounds the grotto, as well as the fountain, where you can sit and rest on a hot day.

As the name suggests, this structure served as a venue for organizing concerts. It can be found in the lower part of the park, along the park path that runs parallel to Main Street. Like the other pavilion, this one was also built at the beginning of the 20th century and features elements of the Zakopane style. It is built in the shape of a Greek cross, supported by wooden pillars decorated with openwork elements of a lattice frieze and an arch above the main entrance. The structure is covered with a tent-shaped, broken roof with gable ends, the tops of which are decorated with ornaments in the form of so-called suns.

By carefully following current events in Szczawnica, you can witness a concert organized in the music pavilion while strolling along the park paths. Unfortunately, much more often, in the evening hours, the park’s acoustics are dominated by disco polo music from the nearby “Chemik” guesthouse.

The “Wanda” mineral water spring is located at the foot of Mount Bryjarka, above the chapel of Our Lady of Częstochowa, in the northern part of the Lower Park in Szczawnica. The water from the spring has a mineral character (bicarbonate-chloride-sodium (alkaline-salty)). It is recommended for metabolic disorders and urinary tract diseases.

The origins of this spring date back to 1867, when it was established in the place of two earlier springs, Aniela and Helena. The mineral water is accessible to everyone, and the water collection point is located next to the “Chemik” recreational house. The spring has been carefully enclosed, and a special tap has been installed in the stone wall above the cup-shaped well, which makes it easier to collect the water.

The creation of the pond is closely linked to the development of Szczawnica as a spa town. It was an element of the landscape, used to design the park as an attractive place for visiting patients, and it continues to enhance the park’s appearance for residents and tourists.

In 2013, at the initiative of Mayor Grzegorz Niezgoda, ornamental carp and goldfish were released into the pond. These colorful fish can be carefully observed and photographed, thanks to the wooden pier with red railings that was built. It is important to remember not to feed the fish.

By climbing the stairs, you will reach the highest promenade in the Lower Park, where, in the shade of the trees, there is a charming chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Częstochowa. This wasn’t always a place of worship. The building, which was erected in 1867, was originally a water pavilion. It wasn’t until the 1870s that Franciszek Tomanek, the then-tenant of the Lower Establishment, initiated the transformation of the water pavilion into a chapel, creating a convenient place for visitors to the spa. He purchased a copy of the painting of the Virgin Mary of Częstochowa, a small cross, and a tabernacle with relics of the martyrs – St. Felix and St. Marcelina – for the newly established chapel, which adorn the interior. Since 1894, visitors can also admire the altar created by Władysław Łuszczkiewicz.

Mass is held in the Roman Catholic chapel in July and August at 4:00 PM. Although it is not often possible to see the interior, the facade can be viewed every day. A row of wooden chairs placed in front of the chapel allows visitors to sit and admire this small architectural structure, which is built on a central plan. Special attention should be paid to the stone base, the circular skylights filled with tracery rosettes, the cornice, the wooden small cross, and the two inscriptions placed on plaques to the left and right of the chapel, suggesting the spa’s purpose for the visitors: “Holy Virgin, who brightly defends Częstochowa, be the healing for the sick” and “Prayer full of faith will be the salvation for the sick, and the Lord will lift him up, James 5:”

In the upper part of the Lower Park, along the path on the slope, there is a picturesque pavilion with a distinctive “Zakopane” style, offering a view of the beautiful Lower Park. It is built in the shape of a Greek cross, with gable roofs covered with arcaded friezes and a “sun” motif on the gables, which are different for each arm of the cross. At the intersection of the roof ridges, there is a square tower, and its walls are decorated with a cornflower motif in a rosette. The entire structure of the pavilion is made of wood, built on pillars, open, and situated on a stone basement above the “Wanda” spring, dating back to the early 20th century.

In the park landscape, the pavilion looks extremely charming, but as you climb the stairs, symmetrically placed on both sides of the pavilion, you will see acts of vandalism inside. Numerous signatures ruin its character as an object that only harmonizes with the natural beauty of the surrounding nature from the outside. In this way, such a beautiful architectural monument does not encourage you to stay, but considering the magic of the rest of the park, you don’t have to be discouraged.
