Bolechowicka Valley, Nature reserve near Krakow, Poland.

The valley extends for 1.5 kilometers through a narrow gorge with limestone walls reaching heights of 35 meters at the entrance gateway.

The establishment of Bolechowicka Valley as a protected nature reserve in 1968 marked a milestone in preserving the natural heritage of Lesser Poland.

Polish mountaineers have long used the valley's rocky formations for training, making it an essential location in the national climbing community.

Visitors can reach the valley by taking suburban bus lines 248 or 268 from Krakow to Bolechowice Centrum, where marked trails begin.

Two distinct rock pillars form the valley entrance: Filar Abazego at 30 meters and Filar Pokutników at 35 meters in height.

Inception: 1968

GPS coordinates: 50.15610,19.78390
