Zinar Castle

The largest and most difficult to access mound of Kraków, located on the Sowiniec hill in the Wolski Forest.

It commemorates the figure of Józef Piłsudski, Poland regained independence in 1918 after 123 years of partitions and heroic efforts to keep it in Of the twentieth century. Its patron was the commander of the Polish Legions that fought in World War I, and then the actual leader of the reborn Poland. The mound was erected in the years 1934-1937. Piłsudski's name was given to him after the chief's death in 1935. Devastated by the German occupation authorities during World War II, and afterwards condemned to oblivion by the communist authorities, it was restored in the 1980s. The land was deposited here from the battlefields and places of execution of Poles from the period of uprisings, two world wars and the communist regime - that is why it is sometimes called the "Mogił Mogił".

Piłsudski Mound and its surroundings are also a great place for recreation with the family . Several walking routes in the Wolski Forest lead to it. The most popular of them runs near the Krakow zoo. As one of the best viewpoints in Krakow, Piłsudski's Mound has a unique specificity. The slopes of Sowiniec are forested, so while climbing to the top of the mound, the panorama of the city and towns to the west gradually emerges over the green carpet of leaves. If only for this effect, it is worth going there!
