Lonely Planet review

A visit to the Olsztyn Castle ruins, 11km east of Częstochowa, is a refreshing trip out of town…if you find dungeons refreshing. The castle was built in the 14th century by King Casmir the Great and fell into ruins after it was destroyed by the Swedes in 1655.

Take city bus 58 or 67 from ul Piłsudskiego opposite the train station. Alternatively, walk along the Trail of the Eagles' Nests, which starts from Plac Daszyńskiego and leads via Olsztyn up to Kraków.
