The Łutowiec watchtower is an almost completely destroyed stronghold located on the top of the Castle Rock in the village of Łutowiec, near Niegowa. Only a short fragment of the wall has survived to this day, but it is believed that there used to be a defensive tower on the top supporting the Eagle's Nests system. The watchtower could have been built during the reign of Casimir the Great or later, at the initiative of Władysław Opolczyk. Although the building is modest, its location on a picturesque rock makes it worth deviating from the main route, especially on an MTB bike.

Ogrodzieniec Castle in Podzamcze is the largest and one of the best-preserved strongholds on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests and the Trail of Jurassic Strongholds. The impressive ruins tower over the area and offer numerous viewing terraces and chambers, towers and courtyards open to the public. It is a popular tourist attraction with catering facilities and bicycle-friendly infrastructure. In the season, it is worth visiting the castle first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. Access by bike is possible via the asphalt road from the Podzamcze side or via a more off-road option through the Towarne Mountains.
