Kobylanska Valley - how to get there?

By MPK bus: from Bronowice Malych, take bus line 278 to Kobylany village. Alternatively, you can take bus line 210 and get off at Będkowice Pętla stop - from there, you can reach the valley through a rocky trail that is not wheelchair accessible.

The bottom of the valley is a path, sometimes rocky, sometimes paved, covered with grass. As you go further, it becomes narrower and in summer, the grass can be tall. In some places, there is a stream called Kobylanka flowing through the path. We managed to navigate a significant part of the valley with a stroller with large, inflatable wheels, although it was not easy at times (I would recommend a baby carrier instead). If you are not primarily interested in exploring the valley, but rather in having a family picnic or resting, you can bring a stroller. Inside one of the caves, there is a rocky shrine of the Virgin Mary. There are two ways to reach it - steep stairs carved into the rock, which are uneven, but there is a railing next to them, or a gravel path, which is steep.
