October 16, 2026, Spytkowice Ferry

A fantastic crossing and a great shortcut! The “Drogowiec” ferry is not only a convenient way to travel between Spytkowice and Okleśna, but also a great attraction. Very friendly and efficient service, and the fees are symbolic. I definitely recommend it to everyone, especially cyclists on the Vistula Cycle Route (Wiślana Trasa Rowerowa)! ⛴️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A scenic crossing of the Vistula with the Drogowiec ferry, which allows you to efficiently close the loop and cross from the Wadowice county (Spytkowice-Przewóz) to the Chrzanów county (Okleśna/Podłęże). Operating hours: Daily from 5:00 to 22:00. Frequency: Operates on demand, departs shuttle-style after passengers board. Price list: A symbolic 1 zł for a pedestrian or cyclist with a bicycle. Payment: Cash only! The operator does not accept cards or BLIK. Important note: In case of torrential storms, dense fog, or a high warning level of the Vistula, the ferry service is suspended.

The Castle in Oświęcim is a medieval defensive stronghold located on a hill on the right bank of the Soła River. Currently, the site is home to the Museum of the Castle in Oświęcim, which presents the rich history of the city, the former Duchy of Oświęcim, and valuable historical and archaeological collections. It was here that a great diplomatic turning point occurred: in 1454, the last Piast duke of this region, Jan IV, bowed to the might of Poland and ceded the castle and his entire duchy as a fief to King Casimir Jagiellon. Three years later (in 1457), he completely sold these lands to him. The castle ceased to be a Silesian borderland and became Polish royal property for centuries. It is worth taking a look at the mighty, 13th-century Gothic tower, which remembers those events and that agreement! The history of the castle in Oświęcim dates back to the 11th century, when there was an early medieval agricultural settlement on the hill above the Soła. After it burned down, a fortified castellany stronghold was erected here. The first official documentary mention of it dates from 1179. It was then that King Casimir the Just transferred these lands to the Duke of Opole, Mieszko Plątonogi. Early Gothic tower – dates from the end of the 13th century, it is a defensive building type (bergfried) and is one of the oldest preserved brick structures in Lesser Poland. Royal history – the castle hosted prominent historical figures, including the future Queen of Poland, Bona Sforza. Underground tunnels – there are two corridors under the castle, including an air-raid shelter built by the Germans during World War II. Address: ul. Zamkowa 1, 32-600 Oświęcim Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (the museum is closed on Mondays).
