Around Cracow, extraction of rock material for building and road construction as well for chemical and steel industries developed on a large scale. With the establishment of the Jurassic Landscape Parks in this area, industry-scale exploration of rock material is permitted to continue within existing sites only until the developed rock deposits last. The author reviews possibilities to use old extraction sites for tourist and recreational purposes, taking Zakrzówek (situated within the administrative boundaries of Cracow) and Czatkowice (to the north of Krzeszowice) quarries as examples.
