Kraków is sometimes referred to as the climbing capital of Poland. On one hand, it offers access to an extensive network of indoor facilities, while on the other, it is situated close to natural climbing areas – most notably the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. Partly because of international competitions, the popularity of climbing is growing, not only in the context of rock climbing, but also in forms focused exclusively on artificial walls. As a result, climbing walls bring together enthusiasts of various forms of the sport – people who enjoy being active in the company of others, such as groups of friends and families with children, as well as those seeking a workout for both body and mind.
