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.

Further visits to Małopolska drove us to the wonderful Park in Ojców. We were there again, but each time was equally charming. This time, for variety, we not only walked through the valley, but climbed the trail leading along the valley peaks. For the first time in this beautiful perspective, the valley took on even greater charm. I recommend it!

The Ojcowski National Park near Krakow🇵🇱 is the 2nd stop on my trip east.

It's just difficult to top a location when the first one in 🇨🇿 …
