Kopiec Pi艂sudskiego - the youngest, but the highest mound in Krakow!

The main attraction is, of course, climbing to the top and enjoying the views! The mound is accessible to everyone and entrance is free! The path leading to the top is paved with cobblestones and has no barriers.

Polana na Sowi艅cu

Just below the mound, you will find the ruins of the FB-37 Sowiniec Battery (a fortification element of the Krakow Fortress from the late 19th century, on which the mound was built).

Getting to the Pi艂sudski Mound by car

On weekends, the parking lot near the zoo is closed. You must leave your car at the 艁ysa G贸ra parking lot (ul. Kuku艂cza, paid parking). From there, a green trail (starting at the MPK Baba Jaga bus stop) will lead you to the mound. The forest path is compacted but steep in some places and not suitable for strollers. It takes about 20-30 minutes (1.5 km) to reach the mound. If you have a stroller or bicycle, you need to climb along Kasy Oszcz臋dno艣ci Miasta Krakowa Avenue/Chodnik Beliny (about 1 km) and then follow W臋drownik贸w Avenue and Do Kopca.

The easiest way to reach the mound is by taking bus line 134 to the zoo (buses depart from B艂o艅/Cracovia Hotel). Then, follow W臋drownik贸w Avenue and Do Kopca. Unfortunately, these buses can be very crowded on weekends...

Practical Information about the Pi艂sudski Mound

A short walk away are other attractions in Wolski Forest: the zoo, the Symbioza Center for Ecological Education, and the Kamedu艂贸w Monastery.

It is also worth taking a walk along the wild forest paths and momentarily forgetting that you are in the city. For example, you can take the green trail from the mound to the legendary Panie艅skie Ska艂y Reserve. You can find out more about Wolski Forest here:
