The castle in Dobczyce is a picturesque fortress located on a rocky hill above Lake Dobczyce, with a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Inside there is a museum with historical exhibits and an armoury, and a walk along the walls allows you to feel the atmosphere of bygone ages. Access by road bike is possible, although the last ascent is steep and it is better to overcome it carefully. It is worth combining a visit to the castle with a visit to the nearby open-air museum and a walk along the dam.

The open-air museum in Dobczyce is a small but interesting complex of wooden buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries, located right next to the castle and the dam on the Raba River. You can see a forge, a village school and cottages with traditional furnishings, which provides a good background for learning about the history of the region. Access by road bike is possible, although the last section uphill can be demanding.
