Pre-conference walk on Sunday 17 September

(only for participants who declared their attendance)

12:30 - shuttle bus from the car park of Gronostajowa 3
13:30 - start of the walk in Mników

Mnikowska Valley (https://visitmalopolska.pl/en_GB/obiekt/-/poi/dolina-mnikowska-wyzyna-krakowsko-czestochowska-)
Zimny Dół Nature Reserve (https://visitmalopolska.pl/en_GB/obiekt/-/poi/zimny-dol-wyzyna-krakowsko-czestochowska-)

The route: https://pl.mapy.cz/s/baledajuma
The walking distance is about 6.6 km. The route can be changed depending on the weather and the enthusiasm of the participants. The second part of the walk is on a steep, narrow path that can be very slippery. Shoes with firm soles are therefore required and walking sticks are recommended. There will be two picnic stops along the way.

Participants are kindly asked to bring their own food and water! Conference organizers provide shuttle bus & insurance. The walk will be led by Dr Katarzyna Śnigórska of the Complex of Landscape Parks of Małopolska Voivodeship.

18:00 - return to Krakow

------------------------------------------

The walk will lead along the trails of the Kraków Valleys Landscape Park. Along the way, we'll see limestone rocks in a variety of unique shapes, forests, xerothermic grasses, and meadows... and some of their inhabitants. 


More information about the Kraków Valleys can be found on the official website of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship.  .
