It's best to go from the market square along the ulica Świętego Jana, sometimes quite steep :). The castle ruins have been renovated, admission is free

According to written sources, the castle in Lanckorona, also known as Lanckorona Castle, was built by Casimir the Great in the mid-14th century; it guarded the border between the Kraków region and the Duchy of Oświęcim, whose ruler John I Scholasticus paid homage to the Czech king John of Luxembourg in 1327. At that time, the border ran at the foot of Lanckorona Mountain, west of the hill. https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamek_w_Lanckorona

Not far from the castle ruins there is a tourist shelter (2 benches and a table) with a nice view.

In 1999, the pilgrimage site became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and in 2000 a monument to the history of the Polish nation. UNESCO describes Kalwaria Zebrzydowska as "a breathtaking cultural landscape of great spiritual significance". The site is an exceptional cultural monument in which chapels are embedded in the natural landscape as a backdrop, symbolically representing the Passion of Christ.
