What remains

Ogrodzieniec Castle, situated on the 160 km long Eagles' Nests Trail - a popular tourist and hikers trail named after a chain of 25 fortified medieval castles and defence watchtowers built in the 14th century on top of large limestone rocks and cliffs in southern Poland.

 

Most of the castles have not survived the many wars and foreign invasions and are now just picturesque ruins - this one was destroyed by the Swedish in the 17th century too.
