Prądnik Valley in Ojców with a Stroller and Bicycle

Prądnik Valley is the main valley of Ojcowski National Park. The bottom of the valley is a wide, asphalt pedestrian and cycling path. The road is closed to car traffic and can only be used by residents. It offers beautiful views and is perfect for a walk with a stroller or for young cyclists - ideal for bikes, roller skates, or scooters. The limestone rocks surrounding the valley provide coolness even on hot days. There are also plenty of shaded areas, benches, restaurants, and places to rest. The limestone rocks form extraordinary formations and shapes - here we have the Rękawica, Bramę Krakowską, and Igła Deotymy. You can come up with your own names - it's a great way to have fun with children.

Ojcowski Trout - Fish Ponds

In the valley, it is worth taking a break by the fish ponds, where you can order smoked or braised trout. There are sun loungers and shaded tables with benches. A great attraction for children is observing the pond and ducks.

Viewpoints - Green Educational Trail

For those without strollers or bicycles, near the Ciemna Cave, you can turn onto the green educational trail (difficult for young children) - the trail leads along the ridge of the rocks surrounding the valley and offers stunning views. We descend from the trail near the Bramy Krakowskiej. Detailed description of the Green Educational Trail - Ojców
