In autumn it is easy to lose the path, the mass of leaves covers the "road" and the signs are rarely on the trees

A nice place with an interesting history. There used to be a swimming pool here, you can see the posts and the beach. The pool is a relic of the military.

Castle Hill (or Janowski Hill) is the highest peak in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, at 516 meters. The highest point is Czubatka Rock – if you're a mountaineer, you might want to climb it, but otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it; you'll just have to sit and admire it from below. The views from the top are beautiful, overlooking Podzamcze and, of course, the ruins of Ogrodzieniec Castle below.
