  • Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains
    The city of Krakow lies only 100 kilometers away from the most beautiful Polish mountains - the Tatras. Its main city, Zakopane, often called “the winter capital of Poland” is famous for its wooden architecture and rich local culture.
  • Jews of Galicia
    The Lesser Poland is a part of the former Galicia, one of the most multicultural and multireligious regions of Europe. In 1900 every third inhabitant of Galicia was of Jewish origin. This part of Poland allows to experience the exceptional character of the pre-war Jewish towns, so-called shtetls.
  • Wooden Architecture Route
    The growing popularity of the region gave rise to creating „The Wooden Architecture Route” several years ago to highlight the most valuable wooden monuments of the Lesser Poland.
  • Auschwitz-Birkenau
    June, 1940 the first transport of Polish political prisoners arrived in Auschwitz. This date marks the beginning of Auschwitz concentration camp which became a symbol of the atrocities of WW2 and Holocaust – the mass murder of European Jews.

Ojcow National Park

Ojcow National Park is Poland's smallest but one of the most attractive national parks. It's famous for its varied landscape and rich history. It attracts the visitors with its unique landscapes and rich wildlife but also cultural sites - two castles built in the 14. century.

The renaissance residence called Pieskowa Skala was built on a picturesque hill overlooking the scenic Pradnik river valley, among fanciful limestone rocks of extraordinary shapes.

The most famous rock in its environs is called “Hercules' Club”. The castle is part of the famous Polish “Eagle’s Nest Route”, a chain of medieval strongholds picturesquely located on the surrounding hills built in 14. century by King Casimir the Great.

The castle is one of the best preserved renaissance residences in Poland. It was converted into a museum illustrating the changes in the European art from Middle Ages to the 20. century.
 
The visit to Pieskowa Skala can be followed by a number of local attractions. You can start by taking a walk of the Ojcow National Park including a visit to one of still-operating local mills and sightseeing the ruins of Ojcow castle.
 
In turn, we recommend taking a short sightseeing tour of the 200-metre long King Lokietek Cave. Not only is it the longest cave in the Park but it is also populated by the most venomous spider living in Poland that, however, does not spin webs...
 
The Ojcow Natural Museum will be worth a visit too with its interesting educational offer. The multimedia presentations and a 3D film shown to visitors will approach the wildlife, geology and history of the Ojcow National Park in an intelligible but informative way.
 
A tour of the Ojcow National Park usually around 5-6 hours.
