Bolechowicka Valley is one of the shortest, but exceptionally beautiful valleys near Krakow. It is located approximately 15 km from Krakow, towards Zabierz贸w. We enter the valley through an impressive rocky gate. Here, you will find picnic spots, a spacious meadow, and access to a small stream flowing through the valley, where children can happily splash around.

Bolechowicka Valley with a stroller?

The yellow trail leads us through the bottom of the valley. The path is narrow and slightly rocky. With a stroller with inflatable wheels, we can manage to enter the valley, but it will be difficult to navigate through the valley. Therefore, choose to visit with a stroller only if you prioritize a place to rest and have a family picnic over taking a walk.

Route through Bolechowicka Valley

After bypassing the impressive rocky gate, the trail through the valley continues along a narrow, rocky path mostly under the sun. Steep rocky walls rise around us - the valley is a "mecca" for climbers in the Krakow area. During the week, they are the most frequent visitors to this extraordinary place.
