Tourist attraction Park

👍👍 Beautiful place, great water, well-made walking path. All infrastructure well prepared also for families with children. I recommend for a longer trip in sunny weather. However, I advise you to take something to eat with you, there is only coffee, ice cream and waffles nearby. 😊 People often mention beautiful, miejsce, water, swimming, walk, swim, lake, jest, Zakrz, Krakow,

    A group of big, scenic and open swimming pools not so far from the center of Krakow. Entry : The entry is completely free to the pool. However, you have to stand in a very long queue during weekends. The long queue is reasoned by the 1k persons limit at a given point of time although I have no idea how they are measuring the exact count as there are 2 exits. Pools: There are pools created of several depth ranging from 30 cm for kids to 350 cm for adults. Also you can dive into the open lake provided you are a pro. Refreshments: Only 2-3 cafes at the entrance where you can get coffee and fries. Don't expect much. Once you enter the pool, there is no option for refreshments so better get your supplies beforehand. Toilets: Again there are no toilets once you go through the entrance, it's there just 50m before the entrance so advisable to empty your bladders before you enter. Overall a perfect spot for quality time and families ( you can argue it is crowded but there is enough space for everyone and you can find your spot ). Note - Ready to wait for atleast 1.5 - 2 hours during weekends.

    Drodzy turyści, nie przyjeżdzajcie do parku autami! To park krajobrazowy z chronionymi gatunkami fauny i flory, a nie disneyland! Można dotrzeć komunikacją miejską, a później 5 czy 10 minut dojść pieszo. Proszą krakowianie, miłośnicy Zakrzówka i przyrody. Stowarzyszenie Akcja dla Ziemi na Zakrzówku.

    Nice place in different seasons. It doesn’t matter the weather or season there is always the place for a walk or rest

  • 5/5 Antoine 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best spot for Krakow in the summer. It's filled with short but fun mountain bike trails, downhill, cross-country, rock climbing. You can swim in the big lake, make a picnic and watch the sunset. Overall it's a fantastic spot to do photo shoots, enjoy the nature, walk around some forest, but the best is to swim!!! It's a beautiful place. Don't forget to take your trash with you!!

    The lake is very beautiful, but it's still underneath construction. It seems that it will have swimming pools and beaches. The lake has amazing colors of blue and green, and it was chalk quarry before. It's surrounded by cliffs and many caves, which are interesting for walking. Also you can find bug forest with many view points on the city from different angles, including mountains view. You can reach by bike or on foot, but remember that it's not plain land.

    One of the most beautiful 😍 and unique places in Poland 🇵🇱 * Clean water 🌊 * Breathtaking views 🌄 * Fantastic beach ⛱️ (opened June 2023!) * Great walking routes What can be done better: * More food options (probably that's coming from June 22nd 2023) * More toilets 🚽 Overall, love it!

    Wspaniałe miejsce. Porównaniu tym co było tu przed kilkoma laty, jest zdecydowanie lepiej. Teren zabezpieczony siatką, mnóstwo utwardzonych alejek, kosze na śmieci, ławki. A w dodatku wspaniałe widoki na Zalew Zakrzówek i wszystko w otoczeniu cudownej przyrody pauza mnóstwo zieleni, dużo różnorodnych drzew krzewów, ptaków kropka niedaleko znajdują się Skałki Twardowskiego, doskonałe miejsce do wspinaczki. Stąd możemy również podziwiać cudowną Panoramę Krakowa.

    Людей настільки багато, що черга до туалету та роздягальні по 30 хв. Для такої кількості людей потрібно 2-3 таких будівлі. В вихідний день немає де покласти полотенця, така кількість відпочиваючих. При такої кількості людей вода чистою бути не може . А в цілому красиво, але дуже гучно та скупчення людей.

    Piękne miejsce warte odwiedzenia. Każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. Zarówno plaże tradycyjną jak i drewniane. Można tu znaleźć 5 basenów widocznych na zdjęciach, o różnej głębokości.

    I recently visited Lake Zakrzówek and was blown away by its beauty. The crystal-clear water is perfect for swimming or just relaxing on the shore. The dramatic cliffs surrounding the lake provide an incredible backdrop and the rock climbing opportunities are top-notch. One of the things that really impressed me about the lake is its history. Learning about how it was created in the early 20th century made me appreciate its beauty even more. The area is well-maintained and it's clear that a lot of effort has been put into preserving the natural environment. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Lake Zakrzówek if you're in Kraków. It's a unique and beautiful destination that's definitely worth checking out.

    A great place to rest and swim. Officially it's closed, but nobody seems to care. God bless Slavic mentality.

    Path beyond the fence is a bit more adventurous but also gives you a great view of everything. Wish people would clean up after themselves though, as you will see leftover junk from others.

    Piękne urokliwe miejsce na spacer. W końcu coś miasto z tym miejscem zrobiło nie koniecznie budując kolejne osiedle, tylko coś dla ludzi. Kąpielisko na dole przy pomostach podzielone na strefy o różnych głębokościach(oddzielne baseny). Póki co nie ma opłat za kąpielisko.

    Pedestrian zone is under the renovation now, can't wait for it to be done to come here again and enjoy it - seems like it's going to be really cool there when it's ready.

    If you love nature and water, then this is a place for you. You can sit on the bank of the lake for 4 to 5 hours and enjoy your food and chilled beer 🍺. Some people do swimming as well here. So if you are interested then yes you can do it.

    Very beautiful nature. Wild hogs, good for training. Lots of uphills and descents. Stairs in risky zones. I am super stoked I found this place. Also have equipment for workouts.

    Zakrzówek Park is nature's canvas, painted with every hue of serenity and adventure. It's a sanctuary where every trail leads to discovery, every swim immerses you in nature's embrace, and every sitting spot becomes a haven for introspection. The very air seems to breathe life into your lungs, urging you to live a little more, love a little deeper, and cherish every moment. From the rhythmic cadence of hiking boots on paths to the gentle ripples of water, every aspect of the park invites you to connect with nature and with yourself. As someone who champions holistic well-being, I see places like Zakrzówek Park as vital spaces where body, mind, and soul come into harmonious alignment. It's not just a park; it's an experience, a journey, a love letter from nature to every visitor. Dive in, wander, or simply be; the park awaits with open arms. 🌿🏞️💦💚🌍

    Opening from 10am offiicialy, but at 8 full. How is this possible? We spend two days in que for few hours, but never get inside 😔 so we went by the other way and paddle there at least. It is very beautiful place . Pity no rules. People are waiting and waiting. The capacity is 1000 People.

    Great place for chilling on a sunny day. You can go for a walk or a swim or even practice yoga. Could be crowded and you'd have to wait in line on some days

  • 5/5 Monika S. 8 months ago on Google
    Miejsce otrzymało nowe życie: są utwardzone ścieżki, piękne baseny, punkty widokowe, mała gastronomia. W ciepły dzień bardzo tłoczno, zachęcam do wieczornych spacerów :)

  • 1/5 Grzegorz P. 8 months ago on Google
    Wykonanie (i projekt) tego parku to nieporozumienie, szczególnie jeśli chodzi o ścieżki: są ścieżki z nawierzchnią z kamyczków, ale nie jest to drobny żwirek jak w niektórych parkach, ale na prawdę duże kamienie - nie pójdziesz w każdych butach po tym (szczególnie odradzam wyjście w jakiś eleganckich butach, bo serio można je uszkodzić), kamyczki oczywiście się rozsypują poza ścieżki. Najgorsza jest ścieżka - ciąg pieszo-rowerowy od ul. Twardowskiego - z jednej strony jest asfalt, druga połowa to te kamyczki po których nikt nie chce chodzić ani jeździć rowerem, co powoduje sytuacje konfliktowe na połówce ścieżki z asfaltem - po prostu wygodniej jest iść/jechać po asfalcie... Ścieżki w lesie to wysypany na odpi....ol kamień. Oczywiście ktoś wziął za to niemałą kasę, ale niestety tak się często kończą "inwestycje" miejskie - mają elementy niefunkcjonalne, ale za to były drogie.

    After a long line i finally had a change to enjoy 5 pools and great view. There is a limit of 1000 visitor at any moment however its really quite there. Also piers are open from 8 to 22

  • 5/5 Oliwia S. 7 months ago on Google
    wspaniałe miejsce na spacery, na odpoczynek i na wyjście nad wodę na baseny albo na plażę obok na dziko. dookoła ścieżka do wędrówek czy do biegania albo przejechania się rowerem. w weekendy dużo ludzi, polecam się wybrać rano w dzień roboczy, bo wtedy jest cisza i spokój.

    Amazing lake to go swimming in, would highly recommend the designated swimming areas as they are much safer

  • 1/5 Black S. 9 months ago on Google
    1000 osób jako limit wejścia osób to zdecydowanie jakiś nieśmieszny żart. Lepiej było jak miejsce było dzikie.

  • 4/5 Paweł L. 10 months ago on Google
    Mam mieszane uczucia co do zagospodarowania terenu. Dalej jest ładnie ale nieporównywalnie do tego jak pięknie to miejsce wyglądało kiedyś.

    Piękne miejsce, świetna woda, dobrze wykonana ścieżka spacerowa. Cała infrastruktura dobrze przygotowana również dla rodzin z dziećmi. Polecam na dłuższy wypad w słoneczną pogodę. Radzę jednak zabrać ze sobą coś do jedzenia, w pobliżu jest tylko kawa, lody i gofry. 😊

    Very interesting place in Krakow just in the city where you can enjoy the cool clear blue water on a hot summer day, relax and sunbathe. You can also take a walk in the park, admire the beautiful views from the top of the canyon

    It's quite beautiful and happening place. It's a family beach. There are changing rooms. Go early if you don't want to wait in queue. It's a little Croatia in Krakow.
