Ojcow Castle - how to get there?
The castle was built on a limestone rock and presents a beautiful view from the bottom of the valley. It was one of the defensive strongholds of the "Eagle's Nests" - its role was to protect Krakow and merchants traveling along the trade route to Silesia. Unfortunately, only ruins have survived from the defensive fortress to this day. The main highlight of the castle is the entrance gate surrounded by limestone rocks. In the past, to reach it, one had to cross a drawbridge suspended over the moat. The gate walls still bear traces of the gate locking system and stone pillars supporting the drawbridge. Inside the gate building, there is a small exhibition with a model depicting the castle's former appearance.
Tower
Through the gate, we enter a small courtyard. Our attention is drawn to the enormous well carved into the rock. Its depth reached 48m - currently, it is half-filled.
Baszta
Pierwotnie baszta by艂a znacznie wy偶sza - wida膰 to na tablicach z przedstawionymi dawnymi rycinami zamku. W budynku baszty znajduje si臋 niewielka wystawa.
Dziedziniec i mury obronne
Przez bram臋 wchodzimy na niewielki dziedziniec. Uwag臋 nasza przykuwa znajduj膮ca si臋 tu ogromna, wykuta w skale studnia. Jej g艂臋boko艣膰 si臋ga艂a 48m - obecnie jest w po艂owie zasypana.
