Wiktorówki – a forest stretching along the lower part of the northern slopes of Gęsia Szyja in the Reglowe Tatra Mountains. It is located below Rusinowa Glade at an altitude of about 1000–1300 m a.s.l. Wiktorówki is covered with an upper subalpine spruce forest.
The Marian Sanctuary in Wiktorówki is located on a small glade. According to folk tales, the Mother of God appeared in this place in 1861. She appeared to a little shepherdess Marysia Murzańska and warned her about the evil that people were committing. Initially, a figure of the Mother of God attached to a tree was located at the place of the apparition. Later, a small chapel made of planks was built. The current church was built in the years 1936–1938 according to the design of the highland architect Jędrzej Graca. In 1957, the building was transferred to the care of the Dominicans.
