A fantastic castle built on solid rock, a beautiful site in any season. It commands respect for those who built it in the 14th century (yes, over 600 years ago!)

Absolutely incredible rock formation. Is it even real? Only at the top do the rocks connect, and beyond that everything has two colossal walls. Everything carved out naturally! Extraordinary.

There are many walls left from the building itself, which together with the high rocks create a fairy-tale atmosphere. On the castle grounds you will also find stairs leading to the upper parts of the ruins. One of the places serves as a viewpoint, from which you can see the Sokoliki, characteristic of Rudawy.

Along with the trail, there is an educational path. We cross the stream on flat stones and the trail immediately begins to climb. The elevation gain is not murderous, but we are constantly gaining altitude, walking partly on a beaten path and partly on rocky steps. This is not a route for a stroller.
