This is the so-called "Jurassic Path", a red hiking trail. It is by no means a route strictly intended for mountain bikes. A very picturesque and pleasant trail for those who want to see something more than the stalls under the castle...

Castle Hill (or Janowski Hill) is the highest peak in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, at 516 meters. The highest point is Czubatka Rock – if you're a mountaineer, you might want to climb it, but otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it; you'll just have to sit and admire it from below. The views from the top are beautiful, overlooking Podzamcze and, of course, the ruins of Ogrodzieniec Castle below.

Birów Mountain, rising 461 m above sea level, is one of the characteristic hills on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests in the Podzamcze and Ogrodzieniec area. The rocky, picturesque hill, providing a good view of the area, has been a place of settlement since the Neolithic period. Especially the top parts of the hill, creating a basin surrounded by limestone outcrops, gave this place significant defensive values. Currently, we can see a reconstruction of a Slavic stronghold here.

This reconstructed hillfort on Birów Mountain is a true attraction. The hill itself, rocky and unusual, is a remarkable geographic formation, but this former royal castle, styled in Slavic style, is truly remarkable. Admission is charged, but inexpensive. Worth it!
