Olsztyn Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Good restaurant. With terrace and castle view. The previous rubble through the sand made me hit hard. Two large beers made the feeling of thirst disappear, but also made me indolent. Actually too slow to climb the castle.

Olsztyn Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The castle in Olsztyn near Częstochowa is one of the most characteristic landmarks on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests. The ruins of a medieval fortress rise on a limestone hill, from where there is a wide panorama of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The castle once played an important defensive role on the borders of the Kingdom of Poland, and today it attracts history and photography enthusiasts. It is worth taking shoes with good soles - the ascent to the hill is short, but steep and rocky. It is best to leave your bike at the entrance or in the city.

Devil's Bridges

Highlight • Natural Monument

Devil's Bridges are 15-meter-high monadnocks located in the "Parkowe" landscape reserve. They're easily accessible, as the trail runs right beneath them. The rocks were once connected by hanging footbridges, built on the initiative of Zygmunt Krasiński, who gave the monadnocks their name. Unfortunately, they fell apart over time due to lack of renovation. You can access the rocks from the back or... climb them "from the front."

Asphalt path through the Park Krajobrazowy Orlich Gniazd

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Maybe not flat, because there are quite a few of these hills, but smooth - the asphalt is still in perfect condition. It is ok for families with children, although the smaller children will have difficulty climbing some of the hills, and in the peak season there can be a lot of traffic there.

Mirów Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle in Mirów, resembling a boat in its shape, is one of the oldest defensive structures in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The Mirów fortress probably initially served as a guardhouse for the main stronghold located in Bobolice, 1.5 km away.
