Nice place to lay down and rest. If you look closely, there is Mary's paint built in the rock.

The Będkowska Valley is one of the longest (7-8 km) and most attractive valleys in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, located between Będkowice and Łączki Kobylańskie. Carved out of Jurassic limestone, it offers numerous rocks, caves and karst formations - ideal for climbers, speleologists and tourists. There are over 80 climbing rocks (including the famous Sokolica), several dozen caves and the natural Szum waterfall. The Brandysówka agritourism farm with a camping site operates in the valley, and the available network of trails allows you to easily combine sightseeing with neighboring valleys. For MTB cyclists, I recommend the off-road route, in places with a stony or steep character - a bike with good shock absorption will work best.

View of the magnificent Krakow Gate and nearby rocks to the west, and on the other side (east) the Crown Mountain, Glove and Ciemna Caves. A wonderful place in the Prądnik Valley. You are also at the Spring of Love (well, you're lucky!) - a karst spring. The water flowing out of it falls into a reservoir carved in the shape of a heart. There is a bench next to it, so your legs can rest too.
