Caves
King Łokietek’s Cave, also known as Grota Łokietka, is the largest known cave in Ojców National Park. It lies about 125 metres above the floor of the Sąspowska Valley, in the slope of Chełmowa Hill. The route runs through 320 metres of passages and two main chambers: the Knights’ Hall and the Bedroom. The cave’s geology is accompanied by the legend of Władysław Łokietek hiding here.
The cave formed in Upper Jurassic limestone and its passages were shaped by water. Visitors can see flowstone, small stalactites and a formation known as the Eagle. The temperature stays around 7–8°C all year, so a warm layer and comfortable shoes are useful even in summer. Tours are led by a duty guide and use electric lighting.
According to local legend, the future king of Poland spent about six weeks in the cave while hiding from the Bohemian ruler. A spider web at the entrance supposedly misled his pursuers. This is part of the site’s tradition, not confirmed historical evidence.
In the 2026 season, the cave is open from 20 April to 11 November, except 1 November. Last admission is at 18:30 in April–August, 17:30 in September, 16:30 in October and 15:00 in November. Guided entries start every 30 minutes; reservations are not required, and ticket sales end 10 minutes before entry. Tickets cost 30 PLN full price or 21 PLN reduced. Check the OPN visitor bulletin and allow time for the trail to the entrance.
