More Information

The journey begins with pickup from your hotel in Krakow or from our our travelers center near the city’s central train station. From there, we head northwest to the breathtaking Eagles’ Nest Scenic Park.

Our first stop is Olsztyn in the Silesian region, where we’ll enjoy a refreshing coffee break in the charming town square to stretch after the drive. Then we take a short hike up to the Olsztyn Castle ruins for a walking tour and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

Next, we visit the fascinating Siedlecka Desert, yes you read correctly, a desert in Poland. From the desert, we continue to the Wiercica River, where you’ll have a chance to cool off with a dip in the water, a sharp contrast to the dry sands. We’ll also take a scenic walk to a nearby cave, offering a glimpse into the area’s natural geology.

Our journey continues with a tour around Mirow Castle and a panoramic viewpoint of the majestic Bobolice Castle, one of the best-preserved fortresses along the Eagles’ Nests Trail.

Along the way, we’ll travel through the stunning landscapes of the Kraków Częstochowa Jura, discussing the historical significance of the area, including the ancient defensive line that once protected Kraków, then Poland’s royal capital, and insights into the unique Silesian region.

We will also hike to the tour’s highlight, the Wielki Okiennik (The Great Rock Window), a magnificent natural arch carved into the limestone cliffs. It’s one of the most iconic viewpoints in the region, offering a fantastic photo opportunity and a final breathtaking view over the highlands.

Before heading back to Krakow, we’ll end the day with a short exploration of the Ogrodzieniec Castle and the nearby Ogrodzieniec Castle, the highest location in Jura region.

After a full day of adventure, nature, and history, we begin our comfortable return drive to Krakow.
