"Zamczysko nad Rabą" is the actual remains of an ancient medieval defensive castle. It is worth visiting, especially since it is located near Zarabie, a popular recreational area in Myślenice. The walk to the ruins from Zarabie will take us about 15 minutes.
Beginning of the Red Trail
The red trail leading to the castle ruins starts at the end of Zamkowa Street in Myślenice. From the beginning, it takes us up a steep, forest path towards the reserve. The ascent is steep, narrow, but short.
Ruins of the Castle in Myślenice
In the past, at the foot of Uklejnia Hill, a trade route from Krakow and Wieliczka to Hungary passed by. The ruins on the hill are remnants of a defensive fortress built here in the 13th century, which was meant to protect the route. Its main feature was a stone guard tower. There are also remains of the former moat, with a drawbridge over it. The entire fortress used to be surrounded by a palisade.
