Considered to be one of the best tourist trails in Poland, the Trail of the Eagle’s Nest consists of several castles and watchtowers that were used to protect Poland’s trade routes. Visit the Gothic castle at Ojców and the Renaissance castle at Pieskowa Skała. Marvel at the ruins of the 14th-century Castle in Ogrodzieniec.

Was expecting to be part of a group but ended up having a personal tour from Maciek. He was very knowledgeable and informative as well as friendly . We visited 5 castles in total and were able to go inside 4 of these. Scenery is lovely and it was nice to see some of Poland outside of the city of krakow.
