The southwestern slopes of Błyszcz include the 90-hectare Kłodne nad Dunajcem Nature Reserve. Błyszcz is a good vantage point for, among other things, Mt Lubań in the Gorce Mountains (1211 metres above sea level).
A Papal Chapel complex with a field altar and amphitheatrically arranged benches was built on top of Błyszcz. From the very beginning, the mountain has been a destination for Oasis Movement groups established in Krościenko and Tylmanowa.
On 16 August 1972, Cardinal Karol Wojtyła came to such a summit meeting. He started the Mass, and a hailstorm came out of the Dunajec Valley. A downpour accompanied the entire Mass. Among the seven hundred people were two umbrellas, which were used to shield the stone altar from the storm.
After this meeting, the tour participants decided to erect a monument and chapel on Błyszcz to commemorate the visit and celebration of the First Mass by Cardinal Wojtyła on a mountain peak, and eventually, the inhabitants of Tylmanowa founded a papal altar at this place. It was the year 2000. A year later, a stone topped with a bust of John Paul II found its place here. It stands here in remembrance of the Pope's wanderings, who often hiked the trail from Stary Sącz to Krościenko and liked to say of himself: 'I am a man of the mountains.'
