Kraków – the capital of the region – is an extremely important site on the Małopolska First World War’s Eastern Front Trail. The famous First Cadre Company departed from the city, which was transformed into the mighty stronghold in the 19th century. North of Kraków the trail retraces the footsteps of the legionaries, who headed toward Kielce. Further on, you can head toward the hills of the Jurassic Krakowsko-Częstochowska Upland, which in the fall of 1914 witnessed the fights aiming to prevent the Russian offensive of the so-called “steam roller,” which was supposed to pass by Kraków from the northwest. The Austro-Hungarian and Russian forces clashed against each other at Skała, Rzeplin, Trzyciąż, Jangrot and in the vicinity of Wolbrom, while the Polish legionaries fought a difficult battle at Krzywopłoty.
