Kalwaria Zebrzydowska
Tevity - 21-Aug-18
As of August 2018, there are many minibuses departing Kraków bus station around every 10 minutes to get to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska in 45 minutes. The bus station in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska is around a 15 minute walk up a fairly steep hill to the basilica. I found it to be lively but not overly busy. I particularly enjoyed the walk around the other small chapels. From the basilica, it is mostly downhill apart from a couple of steep sections near to the basilica. There are two possible trails, but they follow an almost identical route and with a reasonable map (I highly recommend the offline mapping app maps.me) it is possible to visit all of the monuments without much backtracking at all. The trails are, for the most part, wide grassy paths or unmade roads

Tevity - 08-Aug-18
I agree with some of the other reviews here - the setting is very picturesque, but there isn't much information or context given for what makes this site special.
I made it here by public transport from Ružomberok, following advice from the helpful tourist information office there. As of August 2018, there are two buses per day, one at 8:25 and one in the evening that arrive then turn round and come back. I tried to get the 8:25 one, but it hadn't arrived by 9:00 so I gave up. Instead, buses to Banka Bystrica stop at Biely Potok. This is only a half hour walk (up a steep hill) to Vlkolínec. Apparently the bus I'd intended to get arrived at 9:05.
