Ojców National Park

How to get there:

1) Minibus from Nowy Kleparz or minibus parking place next to Galeria Krakowska is the cheapest option at 3.50pln one way. They drop you off in the center square of the near by town of Skala and from there you can take a pleasant 20 min walk past the church, past the school/hostel in the open field onto a trail into the woods that takes you directly to the visitor's center/main parking lot. An alternative but longer route (30+ mins) is to walk the main roads as you would if you were driving. Minibuses leave from Nowy Kleparz every 30mins with the last leaving Ojców at 21:00

2) Icar or 4car taxis runs approx 60pln (icar 12 6535555 // 4car 12 4441424)




Tips: There doesn't seem to be an accurate schedule for the minibuses between Krakow and Skala. Locals in Skala say that minibuses run every 15mins but to catch one Saturday 8pm return to Krak Twn I had to wait 45mins. Also there are 2 bus stops in the center square of Skala, one larger one with a glass shelter and another one with just a sign post next to the Leviathon grocery store. First we were told to wait by the Leviathon stop for outgoing minibuses to Krakow but the road around Skala center square are one way so inorder to catch a seat on the sometimes packed minibuses it seems the smart move is to join the locals and wait at the larger glass sheltered bus stop.
