It actually looks like a giant club. Amazing view with the Castle behind.

At least the parking meters in the valley here accept debit cards. That wasn't the case everywhere. The castle itself is unspectacular; apart from the views of the valley, only the entrance gate is impressive. The tower itself offers almost no views, just a continuous loop of films with beautiful aerial shots.

The castle in Ojców is one of the most interesting ruins on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests, located on Castle Hill in the Ojców National Park. It was built in the 14th century on the initiative of Casimir the Great and served as a royal guardhouse. The characteristic defensive tower, entrance gate and fragments of walls, which have undergone conservation work in recent years, have survived to this day. Currently, you can visit not only the courtyard, but also the interior of the tower and the new viewing platform with a panorama of the Prądnik Valley.

Considered one of the most interesting architectural and landscape places in Poland from the 17th century, but its history dates back to the Middle Ages. Salomea was the sister of Bolesław the Chaste, who gave her Grodzisko with other villages in the 13th century. At the back of the building are three chapels in caves - very beautiful. And in front of them an obelisk on the back of an elephant (!) - erected at the end of the 17th century in honor of Jan III Sobieski's victory at Vienna. Lots of history!
