Rudno Stream Gorge

The last snow has already melted outside, and that means one thing — we are slowly returning to the trails!

For the first hike of this season we invite you to our native Jura. We will walk the trails around Czernichów, and our main objective will be the Rudno stream. Although unassuming, it is very famous — the Rudniański Landscape Park takes its name from it.

We also plan a short tour of Czernichów and a meeting with the Queen of Polish Rivers — the Vistula.
