Long-distance trail in Poland
Szlak Orlich Gniazd
Also known as Trail of the Eagles' Nests
Szlak Orlich Gniazd runs 162 km through Poland in one continuous line. The route below is the waymarked relation itself, kept by the people who paint the blazes, not a line traced over a map by us.
Walk any of it with wayly and the trail keeps its own score. Every track you record clears the ground you covered, and the share of the trail lying inside that cleared ground is your progress — 129 km of it — 80 % and it counts as walked. Nothing to tick, and nothing to remember when you get home.

About the trail
The Trail of the Eagles' Nests (Polish: Szlak Orlich Gniazd) of south-western Poland, is a marked trail along a chain of 25 medieval castles between Częstochowa and Kraków. The Trail of the Eagles' Nests was first marked by Kazimierz Sosnowski. Since 1980, much of the area has been designated a protected area known as the Eagle Nests Landscape Park (Polish: Park Krajobrazowy Orlich Gniazd).
