Ojcow National Park. It may be, with its mere 21.5 sq. km, the smallest of Poland’s twenty national parks, but the Ojcow National Park ranks among the most attractive recreational areas in Europe, and it is just a 15 minutes’ drive–or 24 km–northwest of Krakow. What is more, few national parks in the world can boast so many picturesque and worthy architectural monuments as the Ojcow’s one has within its limits. This and the most scenic landscape with the plentitude of many-shaped limestone rocks, some tall for 50 m or more, such as the park’s trademark 25-m-tall ‘Hercules’ Bludgeon’, also some 220 caves, often easily accessible, prove to be a magnet for many.
