    Ogrodzieniec Castle in Podzamcze is the largest and one of the best-preserved strongholds on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests. The impressive ruins tower over the area and offer numerous viewing terraces and chambers, towers and courtyards open to the public. It is a popular tourist attraction with catering facilities and bicycle-friendly infrastructure. During the season, it is worth visiting the castle first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. Access by bike is possible via the asphalt road from the Podzamcze side or via a more off-road option through the Towarne Mountains.

      Zamek Ogrodzieniec, the castle is in Podzamcze, but is named after the next place. Known how to create confusion. A first installation was already in place at this point during the reign of Bolesław III. Wrymouth and was destroyed in 1241. A Gothic style castle was built in the middle of the 14th century. Swedish troops looted the castle during the Second Northern War, 1655-1660. In 1702, the complex was badly damaged in a fire and completely abandoned around 1810. It is the second largest castle complex in Europe. Source: Wikipedia
