Geography
Krzemionki-Zakšovsk are located south of the Vistula in the territory of the former village of Zakšuvek in the administrative district of Dzielnica VIII Debniki .
History
Since the XIX century, intensive mining of limestone has been carried out in the territory of Krzemyonok-Zakzhuvskys, which led to the formation in the southern part of the hill of the pit, which after the cessation of work was filled with water. Currently, this site is a popular vacation spot for Krakow residents and is called Zakshuvsky Gulf. In the north-eastern part of the hills are former quarries, which are used for training by local climbing clubs. The rest of Krzemyonok-Zakšuvskie is covered in forest.
Attractions
- On the territory of Kshemenok-Podgursky there are several caves, the most famous of which, located in the western part of the hills, has its own name "Twardowsky Cave" (named after the mythical hero Pan Twardowski ).
- On the northern part of the hills (from the Vistula and Debnikov) are the Twardowski Rocks.
