Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska · Ryczów, Śląskie Voivodeship
The first via ferrata in the Kraków-Częstochowa Jura, less than three kilometres from Ogrodzieniec castle, on the grounds of the Całorocznik centre. It is a ferrata park: three independent routes on Jurassic limestone, from a very easy A up to C. The A/B route has vertical sections, exposed traverses, a rope bridge and a chimney at the finish — a good place for a first taste of ferrata climbing, because an instructor is on site and the routes can be repeated several times a day.
Three routes of different difficulty; the hardest one (C) is only available with an instructor.
