Description

Niepołomice Forest is a large forest complex in western part of Sandomierz Basin, about 20 km east of Kraków. The forest occupies an area between Vistula and Raba rivers. The main complex covers about 110 km2 (42 sq mi). It is situated between the towns of Niepołomice, Baczków, Krzyżanowice and Mikluszowice. There are 175 bird species in the forest. Among the birds you can see are Gobemouche à collier, Pic mar, Pic cendré, Pic noir, Tétras lyre, Chouette de l'Oural, Râle des genêts, Milan noir, Bondrée apivore, Aigle pomarin and Cigogne noire. There is also a reserve for European bison (wisent) in the forest but this is not accessible to visitors.

Accès

In the Niepołomice Forest, there are four marked hiking trails - green, red, blue and black - with a total length of over 33 km. The forest is crisscrossed by a dense network of forest roads - both for pedestrians, bicycles and horses - which allows you to plan your own unique route. The perpendicular arrangement of the paths makes it really difficult to get lost in the Forest. There is also a 7 km bicycle trail and the newly open 4 km long educational trail complete with informational placards about the local flora and fauna. Among the trails which lead deep into the forest, there is the 14 km long Niepołomice – Poszyna (green) trail called the Royal Road, and the two trails each 12 km long, Grodkowice – Błoto – Sitowiec, and the Podłęże – Przyborów – Sitowiec (blue) trail leading to mass graves of Poles and Jews from World War II. There is also the 8 km long Stanisławice (red) trail leading toward the perimeter of the wisent reserve; however, the reserve is not accessible to visitors.
