Museums
In the village of Stobierna in the Podkarpackie region, a few kilometres from Dębica, stands a wooden stronghold recalling the 8th and 9th centuries, when the Wisłoka valley lay within the Vistulan state. At the end of the 9th century the area was partially Christianised in the Slavic rite of St. Methodius, and strongholds and cult sites from that era remain in the region. The reconstruction in Stobierna is run by the Cultural Centre and Library of the Dębica Commune.
Visitors can shoot a bow, listen to early songs and watch displays of warriors' combat. In the season, weekend events include the Slavic Family Picnic, the Days of Medieval Crafts and the Night of Kupała — the Slavic festival of love. On weekdays the site hosts workshops for groups, living history lessons in practice.
From May to September the settlement is open on Saturdays and Sundays, 14:00–19:00; from October to April visits are arranged by phone. Tickets cost PLN 8 (reduced PLN 5, family PLN 25) and parking is free. Coming from Dębica, turn south at Zawada towards Stobierna and follow the signs to the stronghold.
