Introduction
This tour is a kind of relaxing sightseeing of the region of Little Poland (Malopolska). It might be the opportunity to see picturesque countryside nearby Krakow with its traditional architecture and a unique landscape of
the National Park of Ojcow. It is the smallest from 23 national parks in Poland but it is especially precious for the botanists and the zoologists as it protects the unique and rare species of flora and fauna. Among the tourists it is famous first of all for its marvelous landscapes with deep valleys created in limestone, outstanding rocks fantastically shaped and 400 caves!
