Itinerary

Zamek Pieskowa Skala

45 min Admission included

We pick you up directly from your hotel in Krakow. Enjoy a comfortable, 45-minute private drive into the national park. Our first stop is the beautifully restored Renaissance castle, often called the "Little Wawel." You will explore its stylish courtyard. (Note: For the 8H extended option, this stop includes a guided tour of the castle’s interiors).
Stop 2

15 min

We will make a short stop for photos by the Hercules Club (Maczuga Herkulesa)—an iconic, 25-meter-high limestone rock that stands right next to the Pieskowa Skała Castle. It is one of the most famous natural landmarks in the region. Your guide will show you the best spot to take photos and share the local legends about this unusual rock formation.
Zamek w Ojcowie

30 min Admission included

After a short drive deeper into the valley, we walk up to the ruins of a historic 14th-century medieval fortress. The castle's viewing platform offers a great panoramic view over the entire Prądnik River Valley.
Ojcow National Park

1 h 30 min

A relaxed walking tour through the heart of the valley. You will see unique limestone rock formations—including the famous "Kraków Gate" (Brama Krakowska)—local nature, and the unique wooden architecture of the historic former spa town.
Stop 5

one hour Admission not included

A relaxed lunch stop at a traditional, local eco-farm. You will have the opportunity to taste the famous, wood-fire smoked regional trout in a quiet outdoor setting (at own expense). After lunch, your private vehicle will take you back to Krakow (approx. 40-minute return drive) and drop you off directly at your hotel.
