Book your hotel and flights using Bitcoin to arrange your travel to Ojcowski National Park
Ojców National Park (Ojcowski Park Narodowy) may be the smallest in Poland, but it packs two castles, several caves, countless rock formations and oodles of bucolic hikes into its 21.5 sq km. The flora in the park is beech, fir, oak and hornbeam forest, and the fauna a diverse mix of small mammals, including badgers, ermines and beavers. This postcard-worthy park is one of the most beautiful areas of the Kraków−Częstochowa Upland.
The Ojców National Park features amazing natural bridges, hundreds of caves and deep ravines. A royal fortress is perched on top of steep rocks. The Ojców National Park is located in the southern part of Poland, in the Malopolskie Voivodeship, around 15 km from Krakow, the former capital of Poland.
The area of the park is covered with picturesque limestone formations, which sometimes assume fancy shapes, like the monadnock, an isolated rock hill, called the Hercules’ Club. The area is full of gorges up to 100 meters deep with a flat bottom and steep, often vertical sides. It also includes many valleys and ravines sculpted by water. Sandstone arches at the end of ravines are a characteristic rock formation of the Ojców National Park. The most famous of them is the Krakow’s Gate, through which the trade route from Krakow to Silesia used to run.
The park also features the remains of the medieval castle in Ojców, constructed by Polish King Casimir the Great in the 14th century. This historical building is a part of the medieval system of fortifications consisting of more than ten castles and fortresses, which are now called the Trail of the Eagles’ Nests
