\"lawenda\"<\/p>\n

Ojc\u00f3w \u2013 the Treasure of the Polish Jurassic Highland<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Full of beautiful landscapes, tourist attractions, and cultural property sites, the Ojc\u00f3w National Park is the local gem that was a must on our list! The heart of the place is the village of Ojc\u00f3w at the bottom of the Pr\u0105dnik Valley, surrounded by numerous tourist trails, including one to the Casimir Castle, \u0141okietek\u2019s Grotto, Dark Cave, Jonasz\u00f3wka Rock, Diotima\u2019s Needle, Krakow Gate, the Bludgeon of Hercules, or the Chapel on the Water. Walks among limestone outliers, gorges, karstic valleys and canyons are the perfect recipe for a wonderful weekend close to nature \u2013 you can get there from Krakow by car or take a bus from the Krowodrza G\u00f3rka terminus.<\/p>\n

The Krakow Valleys \u2013 Where to Go for a Walk in Krakow? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Krakow Valleys located in a landscape park are some of the most beautiful places of this sort in Lesser Poland, so it is good to remember about them, when travelling to Krakow. Full of natural wonders, they are mysterious and surprising with diversity and original landscapes. The most interesting trails include one through the Bolechowice Valley with a beautiful waterfall and scenic viewpoints, the Mnik\u00f3w Valley with the P\u00f3\u0142rzeczki Canyon, the Rac\u0142awka Valley, the woodland Kluczwoda Valley, or the Eliasz\u00f3wka Valley with the ruins of the Devil\u2019s Bridge and the Elijah\u2019s Spring.<\/p>\n

Przylasek Rusiecki \u2013 Anglers\u2019 Paradise and Swimming Area<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you love spending time near water, Przylasek Rusiecki, which was modernised two years ago, is a place that you should not skip during your time in Krakow. It is a complex of 14 reservoirs created after flooding gravel pits in the Nowa Huta district, and nowadays it is an enchanting enclave full of beautiful wooden platforms and footbridges over water. The visitors will find plenty of attractions here, including beaches, food zone, comfortable beach chairs, beach volleyball fields and playgrounds for children, making this a perfect spot for everybody.<\/p>\n

The \u201cSecond Wawel Castle\u201d in Niepo\u0142omice and the Incredible Niepo\u0142omice Forest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you love visiting cultural property sites, one of the obligatory attractions 20 km from Krakow is the Niepo\u0142omice Royal Castle. Founded by king Casimir III the Great, in the first half of the 14th<\/sup> century it was a hunting base for the greatest rulers of Poland, but also an important defensive structure. The Renaissance seat, after being revitalised in 1991, includes a museum full of old paintings, hunting trophies and collections, a boutique hotel, and a restaurant. The greatest attraction of the town of Niepo\u0142omice is the old domain of Polish kings \u2013 the Niepo\u0142omice Forest, which encompasses six wildlife reserves, and tempts with the picturesque setting of the Black Lake. This place fascinates with the abundance of hiking, running, cycling, and \u2013 in winter \u2013 skiing trails.<\/p>\n

Lavender Fields in Ostr\u00f3w \u2013 the Lesser-Polish Provence near Krakow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Are you dreaming of a soothing fragrance and the hum of colourful French lavender fields? You do not have to go very far, only 40 km from Krakow, in the enchanting Ostr\u00f3w, you can visit a truly magical garden. Hills covered by diverse lavender varieties (and other species) encourage to take walks and enjoy the abundance of lavender delicacies! Foodies are welcome to try lavender lemonade, coffee, syrups, biscuits and ice cream, and if you are into exquisite fragrances, you will enjoy oils, pendants and cosmetics. But remember! The lavender season lasts only from June to July, so plan you visit ahead!<\/p>\n

Visit the Town of Angels \u2013 Lanckorona<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When visiting Krakow, it is a must to go for a short trip to Lanckorona, which is only 30 km away. The small town captivates visitors with shingle-roofed cottages enveloping the market square, old castle ruins, a museum, the winter Angel Festival, and delicious pastries from the local bakery. You can also get an angelic fridge magnet as a souvenir!<\/p>\n
