General presentation
Niepołomice and its royal forest
Historical forest and small royal town near Krakow, with castle, cycle paths, clearings and banks of Vistula.
To understand what Niepołomique is and what the royal forest is, you must look at the forest side of Niepołomique, Niepołomique Castle and Vistula. These places give us a view of a territory marked by forests, heritage and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 2 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: short stay and local interest. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature
Niepołomice Forest
The forest of Niepołomice forms a great green escape east of Krakow, with straight slopes, clearings and peaceful areas under pines and deciduous trees. It is suitable for cycling and easy walks, especially when the nearby town becomes too dense.
Castle
Niepołomice Castle
The castle of Niepołomice recalls the royal stays linked to the old hunting in the nearby forest. Its regular courtyard, arcades and restored rooms offer a simple heritage stop to combine with the wooded trails and the banks of Vistula.
Town or village
Vistule
Nearly Niepołomice, Vistule flows in a more open landscape, between dikes, fields and tree lines. Its banks give a luminous counterpoint to the forest, with flat routes to walk or pedal while watching the river pass.
