The Kraków-Częstochowa Upland (Jura) is a land of white limestone cliffs, gentle, forested hills, mysterious caves, and medieval fortresses perched on high mountains. Stretching for approximately 80 km between the two historic cities of Kraków and Częstochowa, this enchanting region takes its name from the Jurassic period, when most of its unique rock formations were formed.
 
The Upland boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes in Poland. Limestone outcrops, karst valleys, and impressive monadnocks such as Maczuga Herkulesa and Okiennik Wielki. Beneath the surface lie cave tunnels, from the famous Łokietek Cave and Ciemna Cave in Ojców to the bat-inhabited Nietoperzowa Cave. Fossilized shells, ammonites, and prehistoric remains are also found here, making the Upland a paradise for nature lovers and explorers alike. Scattered throughout the hills are the medieval castles of the Trail of the Eagles' Nests, built in the 14th century to defend the borders of the Kingdom of Poland. Today, their atmospheric ruins and restored strongholds invite tourists on a journey back in time. Among the most famous castles are Ogrodzieniec Castle, the castles in Bobolice and Mirów, Ojców Castle, and Pieskowa Skała Castle. These fortresses, proudly perched on rocky hills, remain symbols of the region's rich history.
 
In the heart of the Jura lies Ojców National Park, the smallest in Poland but one of the most captivating.
 
The Błędów Desert is one of the Jura's most interesting attractions and a true natural wonder. Covering an area of ​​approximately 32 km², it is the largest desert in Central Europe, also known as the "Polish Sahara".
