Located on the Trail of the Eagle's Nests, Ogrodzieniec Castle rules over the Krakow-Czestochowa Upland in southern Poland. Established first in early 12th century, destroyed and rebuilt numerous times since then it was finally abandoned at the beginning of 19th century due to extensive fire damage and remains a picturesque ruin ever since. It comes with rich history (from Tartar to Swedish invasions) and some interesting legends (such as Black Dog of Ogrodzieniec among others). I was very excited to finally come and see it for myself. Cleverly built incorporating existing, very interesting rock formations, looks from a distance as if a dragon was guarding it. I have spent a lovely evening walking around the complex and taking shots of it from different angles until rain has chased us away. Here is what I came back with. Enjoy!
