Lesser Poland
Małopolska is the smallest national park in Poland, located northwest of the tourist city of Krakow. It is famous for its lush forests, special boulders, large and small caves and ancient castle ruins. Autumn is the best time to visit, as the entire forest displays yellow, red, orange and brown colors with some green leaves, which is very charming. There are 50 kilometers of hiking trails in the park, suitable for various physical and time needs.
