Kazimierz Landscape Park
In 1979, the area around Kazimierz was decreed the Kazimierz Landscape Park . Many walking trails have been traced in its 15,000 hectares, winding through the distinct gorges of the region.
There are three easy short trails known as szlaki spacerowe (walking routes) signposted in yellow, green and red, and three significantly longer treks called szlaki turystyczne (tourist routes) marked in blue, green and red. Almost all these routes originate in the Rynek. The tourist office sells maps of the park and its trails.

The view from the top is spectacular (clouds permitting) and you can stand with one foot in Poland and the other in Slovakia.
