Brama Bolechowicka, Limestone gate formation in Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, Poland
The Bolechowicka Gate consists of two vertical limestone pillars reaching 35 meters in height, forming a natural entrance to the Bolechowice Valley.
The climbing routes on the pillars received their names before World War II, with the right pillar called Penitents and the left one named Abazy.
The geological formation serves as a training ground for rock climbers who practice on designated routes equipped with permanent protection rings.
Visitors can access the site through parking areas in Bolechowice and Karniowice villages, with city buses connecting the location to Kraków.
The limestone pillars originated from reef-like structures formed during the Late Jurassic period at the bottom of a shallow sea.
