Kraków-Częstochowa Upland · Gołcza commune
What to see around Jurta Jura
On site and within a 40-minute drive: Poland's only desert, the castles of the Eagles' Nests, the caves of Ojców and a lavender field. It all begins with the quiet of the fields in Przybysławice.
Where we are
Between Kraków and Miechów
The yurts stand in Przybysławice, in the Gołcza commune — on the edge of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, about 40 minutes' drive from Kraków. It makes a good base: most of the places on this page are within half an hour by car.
One local curiosity to start with: the only village in Poland — and one of just three in the world — named Wielkanoc (Easter) lies in our commune.
