Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Discover the dramatic beauty of the Polish Jurassic Highland on a private journey through the famous "Trail of the Eagle's Nests." Led by an expert guide, this tour is designed for those who seek deep historical context without the rush of a typical group tour.
We explore the region's most spectacular landmarks: the hidden gem of Smoleń, the "Twin Castles" of Bobolice and Mirów, the colossal ruins of Ogrodzieniec (as seen in Netflix’s "The Witcher"), and the optional Rabsztyn Castle. Beyond the walls, we venture into the unexpected: the Błędowska Desert, Central Europe’s largest inland desert, visiting both the Dąbrówka and Czubatka viewpoints.
We prioritize breathtaking views, expert storytelling, and high-quality photography. With door-to-door transport from Krakow and a flexible itinerary that includes a traditional Polish lunch stop (at own expense), you will experience the soul of the Polish countryside in total comfort.

What To Expect
Smolen Castle Ruins
Departing from Krakow, a scenic 1-hour drive through the picturesque countryside brings us to our first stop: the Pilcza Castle ruins in Smoleń. This hidden medieval gem is perched on a steep limestone hill. We will take a beautiful walk through the ancient beech forest to reach the ruins, where you can climb the iconic cylindrical tower for a breathtaking, 360-degree panoramic view of the rolling hills of the Polish Jurassic Highland.
Ruiny Zamku Mirow
After approximately 40 minutes of scenic driving from Smoleń, we will reach the iconic Mirów Castle. It is an absolutely spectacular fortress, famous for its unique architectural shape and dramatic location, perched perfectly among massive limestone rocks (called ostańce). We will take a 30-minute stop here to walk up to the castle, stroll around its majestic outer walls, and capture some incredible photos of how medieval history blends seamlessly with wild nature.
