Woadschober

Comfortable shady hike. The summit offers fantastic viewpoints of the picturesque landscape of Krakau.
This is a moderately difficult hiking tour, which therefore requires a certain level of fitness and endurance.

Tip: The Woadschober is also called "Wadschober" on the information boards, also "Waadschober", the summit booklet reads "Weidschober".
