The best and longest driveway in the Krakow area. It is also very pretty. Unfortunately the traffic is very heavy on the first part of the driveway, higher up it is a bit better. There are a few potholes in the downhill lane. You can take a bonus drive up to the mound.... read more

The only downside of the drive up to the Zoo is actually the downhill, as the condition of the road leaves a lot to be desired. However, taking into account the length, gradient and the fact that it is located in Krakow, my mark must be 5/5

Probably the most popular driveway in Krakow. Moderately steep, with several places where you can rest.
Nice surroundings, with a zoo at the top, cafes, forest park and other attractions.
Moderate traffic, rather sure there will be at least a few encounters with cars as you drive up.
The surface on the lane leading up is quite good, on the lane leading down there are some places with holes, so it is better to be careful and not to speed too much.

Not the worst driveway. People sometimes like to complain.

Classic driveway in Krakow, good for training. Heavy traffic at weekends and on days off, usually a traffic jam halfway up the driveway to the car park. Can be easily bypassed by going "against traffic" but sometimes you have to pull over if something is coming from the opposite direction.
