Mystical places in Poland

In Bulgaria we have new age publications claiming of special places with spiritual power or having specific energy here. Most of it is woo woo and new age folk tales but I'm interested are there Polish analogues? I just read about the Wawel Chakra. Are there other similar places, considered special?

Strange, but I only know about Chakra you mentioned. Probably there are such places but I have never been interested so we need to use Uncle Google now. .

Yes, however the Wawel one is special.

There are many mystical places. Drohiczyn, Mężenin and Grabarka are among them. Jasna Góra and Swięta Lipka are centres of pilgrimage.

Komorów outside Warsaw is also interesting to some.

Of course, I skipped all holy/sacred springs/wells which are numerous here. Are you interested in them?

Yes, they're also important to me. Things like wells or churches granting wishes. I know only about the importance of the Black Madonna of Częstóchowa but I haven't read it performs miracles. Brw I read the Wawel Chakra could have spared the town destruction and that the hard times for Poland started after moving the capital to Wawa.

Wow, I didn`t think of that. Funny suggestion.

Things like wells or churches granting wishes.

This article on 3 pages enumerates sacred springs and wells in Poland.

There are also some 'magnetic spots' where things, cars etc seem to roll uphill like góra Żar or Karpacz.
I'm not a physicist to explain it.

That is usually an optical illusion; there are a couple of places in Poland where it happens.

Ooops, it seems the link got deleted somehow and now when I want to bring it back, it says it doesn`t exist anymore. Strange. ?????

So, famous sacred springs one by one.

I only visited maybe one of two, but these are what they recommend these days in Poland:

Kaplica Czaszek, Projekt Riese, Babia Gora, Krzyztopor, Rynie Castle, Klomino.

The Templar castle at Rogów is interesting. One of the few places the Templars reached in PL.

The mansion in Dobryczy (Pałac w Dobrzycy) has certain mystical and esoteric aspects of its architecture. Open to the public and very worth a visit.

Plus a few places less talked about.

Have you been to Reszel? It's absolutely brilliant, one of my three favourite places in Poland. I wrote a few articles about the place for the usual Warsaw publications.

Now that I remember those, I think I'm in one of the photos accompanying one of those articles. I won't say which though, don't want spoil the surprise for Jimmy Poorhouse when he finally gets to see a photo of me!

Yes. I've stayed in the castle (with T). The bar/restaurant there was interesting looking however I think we ate at a little schabowy place in town. Handy for Święta Lipka.

About places less talked about, I was referring to places with spiritual or occult or esoteric connections/history that aren't really for civilians. Some are of interest only really for people with a special interest, one (belonging to UAM Poznan) an absolute goldmine. Perhaps 'the' goldmine, however the most interesting items they hold are under lock and key for religious/cultural reasons, and several places of great peace and spirituality.
