CLIMBERS PARADISE „JURA”

Cracow – Częstochowa Upland (Jura Krakowsko – Częstochowska) is Polish climbers’ paradise. It is a large plate of Jurassic limestone, which rises on average from 300 to 500 m above sea level. Thousands of crags and rock groups make the regions perfect climbing conditions – a wide range of climbing venues and rock types, from conveniently situated, single pitch crags, to fantastic limestone creations with steep slopes and folds. Although very popular with Polish climbers, Jurassic crags are never overcrowded. Lots of pubs and bar serve as meeting point after active day in the rocks – atmosphere of enthusiasm and excited is “infectious”. Perfect place to start your advantage with climbing or develop your skills.

Divided with several picturesque deep stream valleys, marked with numerous slope rocks and characteristic rocky gates. Lots of perfect climbing sites in the proximity of Poland’s best known and popular city – Crakow – make Cracovian Valley so tempting.
