Pilcza Castle in Smoleń is a picturesque ruin of a medieval stronghold located on a hill among the forests of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. Although only fragments of walls and a tower have survived, the viewing point offers a beautiful panorama of the area. It is a peaceful place, ideal for a break during a bicycle trip through the Jura, especially since the castle is located near popular trails (Eagle's Nests Trail, Jura Fortresses Trail). Next to the ruins you will also find information boards and a place to rest.

Hiking
Pilcza Castle in Smoleń is well worth a visit. The round keep is visible from afar and has been accessible since the castle ruins were secured and partially reconstructed in 2015.
Admission costs 9 zł (as of 2021).
You can walk around the castle hill, as shown on the Komoot map.
Please note: The western and eastern parts of the castle must be visited separately. There are two separate staircases.
The keep can only be reached via the western part. The climb is worthwhile. From up there, you have a wonderful panoramic view.
