Skałki Twardowskiego, Limestone cliffs and recreational park in Debniki district, Krakow, Poland
The park spans 34 hectares of natural terrain, featuring limestone cliffs rising between 200 and 230 meters above sea level in southwestern Krakow.
The limestone formations developed during the Jurassic period when the area was covered by a shallow sea, creating the characteristic rock structures.
Local folklore connects these rocks to Pan Twardowski, a 16th-century nobleman who allegedly practiced alchemy and made a deal with the devil.
The park contains numerous climbing routes with fixed protection systems, making it accessible for both beginner and advanced rock climbing enthusiasts.
The adjacent Zakrzowek lake, formed in an old quarry, reaches depths of 21 meters and contains submerged vehicles for diving exploration.
