Sept. 24 UNESCO church, castle

Church of Archangel Michael in Debno Podhalanskie, Poland
Woodcarving near Church entrance
Castle near Pieniny Park
Rural Countryside Farm
In the village of Debno is an incredible wooden church that is 500 years old. No photos are allowed inside because every inch of the walls and ceiling are covered with original paintings that have never been restored, but are clear and colourful. It is very tiny, but is one of the most awe-inspiring sights we've ever seen. Cost of admission and guided visit-60 cents. It is one of the "Wooden Churches of Little Poland" that have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Then we drove on to Pieniny National Park on the Slovak border to take a wooden rafting trip. The karst scenery was very impressive.....see next post. The castle was above the river in the park.
