Ojców, Village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Ojców lies in the Prądnik Valley, surrounded by limestone cliffs and dense forests within Poland's smallest national park covering 21 square kilometers.
The settlement developed around a Gothic castle from the 14th century, which served as a defensive structure along the Trail of Eagles' Nests.
The village maintains traditional celebrations throughout the year, including horse-drawn sleigh rides and regional folk music performances in the valley.
Located 18 kilometers northwest of Kraków, the village provides access to over 400 caves, hiking trails, and natural limestone formations.
The local castle grounds contain resident peacocks that roam freely among the medieval ruins, creating an unexpected wildlife display.
