Itinerary
In the Ojców National Park, which covers a surface of 1440 hectares in the Valley of the Pradnik enclosed by Pieskowa Skala cliffs, you can see virtually all of the natural components of a Jurassic landscape. Driving along a winding road, we pass breathtaking Jurassic rock formations, one of which - the unbelievable limestone column - seems to be placed upside down. On the route you visit one of Poland's masterpieces of Renaissance palace architecture, which towers over a steep rocky crag. We visit the three-storeyed trapezoid courtyard and the castle which houses a branch of the Wawel State Art Collection

Traveler reviews
Nice tour
The tour was very beautiful. The castles and the environment create such a nice atmosphere. Michael, our guide, was very kind and funny. We recommend the tour to enjoy the beauty of Poland
Beautiful places.
Chauffeur Matt very well. When we arrived at the castle, there was no guide in Spanish or English, only Polish. The entrance to the castle did not allow access to all areas of the castle.
Excellent experience
Wiktor is an exceptionally polite, formal, attentive and cordial guide and driver, good knowledge of the area with friendly and educational comments that maintain interest in the tourist activity at all times, we recommend him for any enjoyable and safe plan...
Review of Pieskowa Skala castle and Ojcow National Park
Pieskowa Skala castle is a beautiful and well conserved medieval fortress. The painting exhibition and the garden are the most interesting sections. Ojcow National Park is a wonderful place for hiking: many paths, landscapes and views. Food is exquisite and cheap. Wiktor, our guide and driver, was very helpful and kind. Also, very puntual and informative.
Highly recommended
The lovely Ojców National Park is located less than 30 km from Krakow and is absolutely worth a visit! The driver Maciek was very nice and helpful. Besides information about the National Park, I got a lot of interesting information about Krakow and everyday life in Poland. Pieskowa Skala Castle was on a hill and getting there demanded climbing up a few steps, but otherwise the the trip was very easy – no challencing paths in the woods. While walking in the village of Ojców you could see the amazing rock formations, such as Crakovian Gate, and enjoy the beauty of the National Park around. We had a photo stop for Club of Hercules and Little Church on the Water. The area of the National Park was so green and beautiful, and there’re several hiking trails. If one day back in Krakow, I wish to go for hiking in Ojców National Park. Thank you so much, Maciek and Legendary Krakow!
