Running in the forest

My in-law’s house in Krakow is on the border of the Ojcow national forest. It is a small yet beautiful forest, full of trails, steams and wildlife. So of course I spent as much time as possible exploring the trails in the forest.

One of the many rivers; I found many otter dams on this river, and lots of trees that the otters had cut down (yes the otters quite literally cut down the trees to use as dam-building material)

A most-covered tree; when you get deep in the forest it gets very earthy and wet. You can smell the earthy smell of the decomposing plants on the forest floor

I even found an old castle in the middle of the forest

Running uphill – the forest was suprisingly hilly – they were plenty of good climbs

Finally, here is the route I ran – about 14k. If you’re ever in the area I highly recommend a run through the forest.
