Góra Zamkowa

Highlight • Summit

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.

Ogrodzieniec Castle

Highlight • Castle

For a ruin, the complex is quite well preserved. Several spiral staircases for access to the upper floor. Currently somewhat restricted due to construction work. The facility also includes a torture cellar (located a little next door).

Highlight (Segment) • Cave

Bear hunters camped in the caves. You can go inside and through to the second part of the cave with an exit higher up on the rock. It is not deep and is accessible to everyone.

Grodzisko on Birów Mountain

Highlight • Historical Site

This reconstructed hillfort on Birów Mountain is a true attraction. The hill itself, rocky and unusual, is a remarkable geographic formation, but this former royal castle, styled in Slavic style, is truly remarkable. Admission is charged, but inexpensive. Worth it!
