Beyond Krakow’s western bounds spreads a land of mystery: karstic rocks created a picturesque landscape, full of astonishing formations, frequently crowned with castles erected on hill tops, constituting the so-called ‘Eagles’ Nests Trail’. Miracles do not only hide on hills but also within them, inside, where water-carved caves meandering around mountain hearts are still to be discovered. Poland even owes its king’s life to one of them: it is here that Prince Ladislaus the Short, who later, in 1320, ascended the Krakow throne, hid from assassins.
