Get inspired! 😊 We invite you to watch our trip to Ojców National Park, the smallest national park in Poland, located half an hour's drive from Krakow. Our trip did not consist only of attractions in Ojców National Park, but using Ojców as a base (we spent the night there) we visited many attractions in the north-western part of the Małopolska province. We visited several castles of the Eagle's Nests network, many caves of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, viewpoints and historical places. Of course, we did not manage to visit everything, but we made the most of the 2 and a half days that we had in the area. For 2 days, we had wonderful weather. 2 attractions are memories from another trip to the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. 1. Jonaszówka Rock - a viewpoint in the very center of Ojców National Park. Right next to numerous restaurants you can try Ojcowski Trout, a regional dish of Małopolska. https://maps.app.goo.gl/PnG86Unk25Vmz... 2. Łokietek's Cave - the largest cave in the park. The future king of Poland, Władysław the Elbow-high, was supposed to have hidden in Łokietek's Cave. The tour is paid, with a guide. https://maps.app.goo.gl/pyUADruxUBz2n... 3.
