Zarabie - park, playground, and beaches

Zarabie is a recreational park area located in the valley of the Raba River. Along the riverbanks, there are rocky beaches, walking and cycling paths. During the summer, you will find many beachgoers lounging on sunbeds and picnic blankets with a view of the mountains - this is where the Beskid Wyspowy begins. There is also a shaded, large playground with a small zip line. We have many restaurants, places for bonfires, and areas for grilling.

Chełm Mountain, chairlift

The main attraction of the area is Chełm Mountain, a peak rising above Myślenice with a chairlift. On top of Chełm Mountain, you will find numerous hiking, cycling, and skiing trails (including an asphalt trail leading downhill), a fast-food bar with a panoramic terrace, and further along the green trail, a lookout tower. From Chełm Mountain, you can also reach the Kudłacze Shelter - the shelter closest to Krakow!
