Ojcow National Park

Distance: 73.8 km

The efforts to protect the nature of the Prądnik Valley date back to the beginning of the 19th century and are associated with the first research conducted in this area. Many interesting species of plants and animals were discovered here, and scientific exploration of caves took place. In addition, the Ojców landscape became the subject of reports and memories, as well as an inspiration for many artists and poets. The beauty of the Prądnik Valley, rich flora and fauna, and an interesting archaeological past prompted numerous visitors to undertake the protection of this corner of the then Kingdom of Congress Poland, even called the ‘Polish Switzerland.’
