Kamieniołom Podkowiński — via ferrata in Szydłowiec

Wyżyna Kielecko-Sandomierska · Szydłowiec, Mazowieckie Voivodeship

A ferrata in a revitalised sandstone quarry above the Szydłowiec reservoir, opened in August 2025. The route is 116.5 metres long and runs up the wall of the old excavation; a zip line over the water operates alongside it. The quarry itself is open all year — only the seasonal attractions are paid, and they run from April to the end of October.

The operator lists the grade as “A (C)”: the route is easy but has a harder variant.
