¿Sabías que aquí, en 1936, Europa entera voló para una fiesta aérea inolvidable, mientras los nazis y soviéticos lo convirtieron en su patio de juegos secreto?
The airfield is open for public visits on weekends from April to October, generally from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but it is advisable to confirm on its official website since this depends on events and weather. It is located about 5 km from central Krosno; you can arrive by car via route DW890 or by taxi from the train station. More info at the official website of the Krosno Aeroclub.
Entry to the airfield is free for visitors who are only watching the activities, but trial flights or guided tours cost from 200 PLN (about €50) per person. Children under 12 enter free with an adult. Check updated rates at aeroklub.krosno.pl or call +48 13 436 23 45.
It is recommended to allow 1–2 hours for a basic visit, seeing the facilities, aircraft, and gliders. If you take part in a short flight, add another 30–45 minutes. It is ideal for a mid-morning visit to avoid crowds.
Founded in 1935, the airfield is one of the oldest in Poland and home to the Krosno Aeroclub, with a strong tradition in gliding and sport aviation. It has trained thousands of pilots and hosts international flying events. Its heritage includes historic hangars and classic aircraft.
The best period is from May to September, with good weather for watching flights. Go in the morning (10:00 AM–12:00 PM) for less wind and more glider activity. Avoid winter, when it closes because of snow.
The main areas are accessible, with ramps in the hangars and paved paths, but some runway sections are not. Contact in advance for assistance; they offer a limited number of wheelchairs. Phone: +48 13 436 23 45.
In Krosno, visit the Glass Industry Museum (10 minutes by car) or the historic Market Square. About 30 km away, Kamieniec Castle is impressive. Combine it with a walk through Krosno’s medieval center.
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable shoes for walking along the runway; book flights in advance on the website. Download an audio guide at iaudioguia.com for stories in English. Arrive hungry: there is a bar serving local food.
