One of the easiest walking paths in Wolski Forest connects the Zoo with Józef Piłsudski Mound. The path starts near the Zoo, at the bus stop of line 134 called Baba Jaga.

  • The path is completely paved with asphalt and accessible for strollers or bicycles.
  • There are dining options near the Zoo.
  • Bus line 134 departs from Cracovia Stadium and stops directly at the Zoo (all buses going to the Zoo are equipped with special bicycle racks).
  • From Monday to Friday, there is a possibility to park at an unguarded paid parking lot near the main entrance of the Zoo. On Saturdays and holidays, there is a ban on entering Wolski Forest - vehicles should be left at a parking lot about 1 km away from the Zoo; it takes about 20 minutes to walk uphill or you can take a bus.
  • You can also pass by the Zoo along Aleja Żubrów and visit the Symbioza Educational Center, where you will find a playground, a café, and nature education activities for children.
