Gród na Górze Birów

Podzamcze

Castles and hillforts, as well as their ruins, entice with their mysterious appearance and the promise of extraordinary stories. All this can be found in Podzamcze, a small village on the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. For years it has attracted tourists who want to see the magnificent ruins of Ogrodzieniec Castle rising here. For some time now, an additional attraction has been the reconstruction of the medieval hillfort on Birów Hill. The audio guide will show you around each of these attractions.The audio guide begins its tale right next to the castle, from where it leads us to the foot of Birów Hill. There, a palisaded stronghold appears before us, which we have to reach by climbing steep stairs. Inside the fortress – with the help of the audio guide – we learn what life was like several hundred years ago, and we look into the watchtower and the chieftain's hut. We also admire the sweeping views, which the hill with its fort offers in abundance.It is worth adding that the audio guide is also available in a version for children.
