Dragon's Den
Overview
Dragon's Den - a remarkable journey through dark underground filled with legends, hidden in the heart of Wawel Hill.
Dragon's Den, nestled in the heart of royal Krakow, is a magical place that stirs the imagination of every explorer. This renowned cavern, concealed within the underground of Wawel Hill, is an integral part of the city's history and legends.
According to local tales, this monumental cave was once the abode of a mighty dragon that used to breathe fire, spreading fear throughout the area.
