Rejoice, man, because you've come to the right place! This cave is considered one of the best archaeological sites in Poland. It's part of a larger cave complex (over 200 meters of chambers and corridors). But because it's so valuable, there's also a price list – you can visit it, but for a fee. Tours are for groups, and tickets can be purchased at the cave ticket office – more here: https://www.ojcow.pl/informator-turystyczny/jaskinie/jaskinia-ciemna-2

At least the parking meters in the valley here accept debit cards. That wasn't the case everywhere. The castle itself is unspectacular; apart from the views of the valley, only the entrance gate is impressive. The tower itself offers almost no views, just a continuous loop of films with beautiful aerial shots.

guided tour, tickets should be purchased at a point 400 meters towards Ojców, so it is best to visit it from that side

The castle in Ojców is one of the most interesting ruins on the Trail of the Eagles' Nests, located on Castle Hill in the Ojców National Park. It was built in the 14th century on the initiative of Casimir the Great and served as a royal guardhouse. The characteristic defensive tower, entrance gate and fragments of walls, which have undergone conservation work in recent years, have survived to this day. Currently, you can visit not only the courtyard, but also the interior of the tower and the new viewing platform with a panorama of the Prądnik Valley.
