Wąskie Skałki Gorge is the Łokietek Cave Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path starts from the Krakowska Gate through the Wąskie Skałki gorge, it is a blue trail. The path is not demanding, but you need to be careful about stones and rocks, especially in the rain, because they can be slippery. After leaving the gorge, keep right and after 10 minutes you will reach the Grotto.

Wooden Houses in Ojcowski National Park

Highlight • Structure

It is worth buying a ticket to the Dark Cave and the observation deck at the ticket office near the huts, because you can no longer buy a ticket at the entrance to the cave.
