You will need to push the bike some meters to reach this point. Is a nice place for a brake in the grass.

The remains of a medieval fortress are located on a rocky hill among forests, near a holiday resort. It is a peaceful place, ideal for a short stop and photos, especially since the rocks offer a view of the surrounding hills of the Jura.

Remains of a former castle from the 14th century - part of the Eagle's Nests (a system of fortifications in this area). Beautiful, atmospheric and great views of the area from above.

Nearby you can visit the Głęboka Cave, accessible with a guide. It is worth wearing comfortable shoes, because the terrain is rocky and steep in places.

Castle ruins. You can't go inside or up the tower. You can walk around the castle. Beautiful asphalt carpet right to the castle - marked bicycle path. There are also benches with a place to rest. The road is quite undulating.
