Zamek Pieskowa Skala

one hour Admission included

Pieskowa Skała Castle is located 30 km north-west of Krakow, in the heart of Ojców National Park. The origins of Pieskowa Skała date back to the time of Kazimierz the Great, who ordered a watchtower to be built here to guard the trade route leading from Krakow to Silesia. To a large extent, Pieskowa Skała owes its present appearance to a thorough reconstruction and extension carried out around 1578 on the initiative of Stanisław Szafraniec. A magnificent Renaissance residence with an arcaded courtyard and a viewing loggia was then created. The rich sculptural decoration of the courtyard includes a gallery of naturalistic mascarons, cartouches with coats of arms and portals.

Pustynia Bledowska (Bledow Desert)

1 h 30 min Admission included

The Błędowska Desert is undoubtedly one of the greatest natural and landscape curiosities in Poland, on the border of two provinces: Silesia and Lesser Poland. Called the "Polish Sahara" - a sea of sand and the largest area of volatile sands in the middle of the country. The desert is located within the Eagle's Nests Landscape Park, on the border of the Olkuska Upland and the Silesian Upland and between Kluczy to the east and Błędów to the west. Its northern boundary is marked by the Chechło River. Through the desert area from west to east, the White Przemsza River flows through a deep valley, dividing it into two unequal parts: a smaller northern one and a larger southern one. Its total area covers about 32 square kilometres.
