The first proposal to create the trail was presented in 1927 by Stanisław Leszczycki. In 1930, a trail was marked out and marked in red, running from Kraków through the Ojców Plateau and the Tenczynek Hills, and then returning to Kraków. The trail along this route was not maintained and was forgotten. In 1948, another attempt to mark the trail was made by Kazimierz Sosnowski – a famous tourist and local expert. In 1950, thanks to funds obtained from the Ministry of Communication, the trail was finally marked. In the following years, the route of the trail was corrected many times.
In addition to castles, you can also admire a number of other attractions on the trail – historic religious buildings, products of nature, which undoubtedly makes it one of the most picturesque trails in Poland.
