Ruins of Olsztyn Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruins in Olsztyn are a picturesque place with a rich history, perfect for a short bike trip. The castle, which is part of the Trail of the Eagles' Nests, remembers the times of Casimir the Great and stormy sieges. Today, you can admire the remains of the walls, the cylindrical and square towers, as well as the foundations of old buildings. The area around the castle offers interesting bike routes in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, and an additional attraction are archaeological discoveries, including Neanderthal finds in a cave in the lower castle.

Olsztyn Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The castle in Olsztyn near Częstochowa is one of the most characteristic landmarks on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests. The ruins of a medieval fortress rise on a limestone hill, from where there is a wide panorama of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The castle once played an important defensive role on the borders of the Kingdom of Poland, and today it attracts history and photography enthusiasts. It is worth taking shoes with good soles - the ascent to the hill is short, but steep and rocky. It is best to leave your bike at the entrance or in the city.
