The Niepołomice Forest is a very popular destination for locals for easy strolls in the seemingly never-ending forest. In the past it used to be a beloved hunting territory for the Polish royalty residing in nearby Krakow. The whole forest is about 110 km2 (42 sq mi). In the heart of the forest you may be able to spot a Polish wisent, the heaviest surviving land mammal in Europe. The forest is traversed by several hiking trails and a 7 km bicycle trail.
