My suggestion

Follow the twin trails of the Passion of Christ and that of Mary. The Stations of the Cross here is the largest in Poland. It extends over a distance of three and a half miles and is dotted along the route with places of worship: a genuine physical reproduction of Jerusalem, all the way from the Via Dolorosa to the hill at Golgotha.
