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!

Reconstructed wooden castle from the 13th century The ideal castle square. The castle rock is steeply sloping on 3 sides. All you needed was a palisade wall - and the castle was ready. The entrance fee is 4 zl. The castle is open from April to October, from 10:00 to 18:00. In September and October only until 16:00.

Hiking

Birów Mountain, rising 461 m above sea level, is one of the characteristic hills on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests in the Podzamcze and Ogrodzieniec area. The rocky, picturesque hill, providing a good view of the area, has been a place of settlement since the Neolithic period. Especially the top parts of the hill, creating a basin surrounded by limestone outcrops, gave this place significant defensive values. Currently, we can see a reconstruction of a Slavic stronghold here.
