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.

Zalew Porajski, also known as Poraj Reservoir, is an artificial lake located in the Silesian Voivodeship of Poland. Created in the 1970s by damming the Warta River, it spans approximately 5.5 square kilometers. The reservoir serves multiple purposes, including flood control, water supply, and recreational activities. Its scenic surroundings and calm waters make it a popular destination for sailing, fishing, and birdwatching. The area is equipped with facilities such as marinas, beaches, and camping sites, catering to both day-trippers and longer stays.
