Hiking

These Jurassic rocks actually look like an outstretched hand. It is really worth walking up the green marked hiking trail. The climb starts at the ticket office for the Ciemna Grotto. You don't have to pay an entrance fee if you don't want to visit the grotto, but it is also highly recommended.
The short climb is worth it because you pass a whole series of viewpoints.

Hiking

Before climbing the mountain, it is worth purchasing tickets to the nearby Dark Cave and at the same time to the terrace with a view of, among others, to the Glove and the Krakow Gate. I don't want to go back upstairs :)
