THE NATIONAL PARK OJCOW - Private Tour from Krakow

THE NATIONAL PARK OJCOW - Private Tour from Krakow

The Ojcowski National Park is located north of Krakow and is the smallest national park in Poland. However, it is an area dotted with vascular plants, bat caves and unusual rock formations. Most spectacular is the Pradnik Valley, a veritable gallery of karstic formations. Here we can sometimes find some ten-meter-high rock formations (Hercules Mace, Diotima Needle), karst springs and numerous caves (their number is estimated at over 400 in the park). Visitors were invited to visit the Łokietek Grotto, where the future king of Poland used to hide centuries ago, and the Jaskinia Ciemna Cave. In the park there are also two castles in Ojców and Pieskowa Skała. Symbol of the park is the bat. Travel time from Krakow to the Ojcowski National Park takes about 45 minutes.
