“The lovely Ojców National Park is located less than 30 km from Krakow and is absolutely worth a visit! The driver Maciek was very nice and helpful. Besides information about the National Park, I got a lot of interesting information about Krakow and everyday life in Poland. Pieskowa Skala Castle was on a hill and getting there demanded climbing up a few steps, but otherwise the the trip was very easy – no challencing paths in the woods. While walking in the village of Ojców you could see the amazing rock formations, such as Crakovian Gate, and enjoy the beauty of the National Park around. We had a photo stop…”
