Departure from Poland
To the north of Kraków, Ojców National Park unfolds its limestone valleys amongst white cliffs, rocky spires and beech forests. Starting from the Złota Góra plateau, this circular route descends into the Prądnik Valley, passes at the foot of the ruins of Ojców Castle and crosses the village before reaching Jaskinia Ciemna, which opens out like a balcony above the valley. The route then takes in the viewing points on Góra Koronna, passes through the rocky gateway of Brama Krakowska and climbs up to Jaskinia Łokietka. The return journey takes you through the coolness of the Dolina Sąspowska, where the path follows the stream from footbridge to footbridge until it reaches a long wooden boardwalk.

Departure from Poland
A former royal capital situated on the Vistula, Kraków unfolds its cobbled squares, narrow streets and neighbourhoods, each with its own distinct atmosphere. This stroll takes you from one end of the city to the other, from the vast Rynek Główny and St Mary’s Basilica to St Florian’s Gate, then through the Green Ring of the Planty to the Gothic courtyard of the Collegium Maius. You then climb Wawel Hill, between the Cathedral of the Kings of Poland and the ramparts overlooking the river, before greeting the dragon at the foot of the cliff. The route continues to Kazimierz, with its synagogues and terraces, crosses the Vistula via a footbridge adorned with bronze acrobats, then takes in Podgórze, the former independent town. It ends on the hills, between Krakus Hill – an abandoned quarry now overgrown with vegetation – and Ghetto Heroes’ Square.
