The royal castle, probably built by Casimir the Great, was an important defensive point in the Middle Ages. In the 16th century, the castle was attacked many times, including by the troops of Archduke Maximilian. The ruins of the castle in Olsztyn near Częstochowa are picturesque remains of a 14th-century stronghold on the Eagle's Nests Trail. It is located on a hill, and its distinctive feature is a 35-meter high cylindrical tower. This is a historical place, surrounded by legends, including that of the ghost of Maćko Borkowic, and offering wonderful views of the surrounding area.

The Przewodziszowice watchtower is the ruin of a medieval stronghold hidden in the forest on the outskirts of Żarki, in the heart of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. A fragment of a defensive wall up to 10 meters high has been preserved, which is the remains of a tower built probably in the 14th century. The watchtower could have served as an auxiliary function for the nearby Ostrężnik Castle, and according to legends, it was the seat of the robber knight Mikołaj Kornicz, who attacked the nobles and hid treasures in rock crevices. A forest path leads to the ruins - the terrain is rocky and uneven, so it is best to ride a mountain bike. This is an atmospheric and lesser-known place on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests. Right next to it is a rest area with a shelter and trail markings.

It is located on the Wooden Architecture Trail of the Silesian province and attracts attention with its baroque interior, including altars, a 17th-century figure of Jesus and a cult painting of St. Giles. The church has a log structure, covered with shingles, and in the surroundings it is also worth seeing the historic bell tower and monumental linden trees.

Bąkowiec Castle in Morsko is a small but picturesquely situated ruin on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests and the Trail of Jurassic Fortresses. The remains of a medieval fortress are located on a rocky hill among forests, near a holiday resort. It is a peaceful place, ideal for a short stop and photos, especially since the rocks offer a view of the surrounding hills of the Jura.
