Zinar Castle

Although it looks like the Croatian coast, it is located in the southern part of Krakow. The Zakrzówek Lagoon was created in 1990 after the old limestone quarry was flooded. It is one of the favorite vacation spots of the city's inhabitants. The water here has an incredibly beautiful turquoise color - how is that possible? All thanks to the limestone deposits that were once mined here. The maximum depth of the reservoir is approximately 32 meters. Visibility is up to 15 meters, but in summer a layer of not transparent sediment forms at the bottom.

Zakrzówek is one of the most attractive places for diving in Poland. Currently, it is leased by the Kraken Diving Center, which has been running a diving base there since 1999. We can find many underwater attractions here - incl. Fiat 125p car, bus, van and boats. Interestingly, under the water there is also a granite plaque commemorating Karol Wojtyła, who worked in the quarry during World War II.

According to the legend, among the surrounding cliffs, Master Twardowski ran a school of magic and sorcery here. One day, during an unsuccessful experiment, the laboratory exploded and the explosion created picturesque rocks named after the Master.
