Summer hike along the Eagle's Nests Trail to Bąkowiec Castle. At the beginning we visit the Okiennik Wielki rock group with a characteristic high rock with a rock opening in the shape of a window. Walking further we reach another rock group Jamnicze Skały located in the forest right next to the trail. After returning to the trail we cross a hill covered with a beautiful beech forest. At the crossroads of trails we turn left and reach the ruins of Bąkowiec Castle.
