Top Nature in Lesser Poland

The walk is beautiful, but don’t underestimate how long it can take. I suggest giving yourself at least 2-3 hours to get to the lake to enjoy the views without rushing

Watch out for the weather! It can change quickly in the mountains. My advice is to have a light rain jacket handy even if it looks sunny when you start.

Pack a proper lunch. We spent way too much on overpriced snacks at the nearby cafe. Bring a picnic and enjoy it by the lake instead.

Get there around 8 AM. The park is way quieter, and you can enjoy the trails without the crowds. I thought I’d sleep in, but I was so glad I got an early start!

Wear sturdy shoes! I wore flip-flops thinking, 'It’s just a park,' but the trails had some rough patches. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!

Download a map before you go. I didn't and ended up lost for a bit, which wasted some time. The signage isn’t always the best, so being prepared helps.

Look for the less popular trails. I took the route that everyone raves about, and it was packed. The hidden paths were so much more peaceful and beautiful!

If you're planning a picnic, grab some snacks from a nearby grocery store instead of overpriced cafes. I found a nice spot near the benches by the Wisla River. Perfect view and way cheaper!

watch out for cyclists! they zoom through the park and i nearly got run over. stay alert or stick to the grassier paths if you're walking with kids.

I suggest setting aside at least two hours to stroll around. There are lots of nooks and crannies I missed when I rushed through it. Take your time and soak in the pretty sights!

If you're on a budget, pack a picnic. The nearby snack prices can be a bit steep. Enjoying your lunch by the lake felt special and saved some cash.

I think you should definitely bring a reusable water bottle. There are places to refill, and it helps cut down on plastic waste while you stay hydrated.

If you love coffee, check out the little café inside the park. I found their prices surprisingly cheap for Krakow, and the view is lovely!

I suggest visiting early in the morning around 8 am for a peaceful stroll. The park is less crowded at that time and you can enjoy the tranquility and the fresh air.
