Wieś Bobolice
Skałki Mirowskie is a chain of limestone tors in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland, stretching between the castle ruins in Mirów and Bobolice Castle in the Silesian Voivodeship. The ridge runs for about a kilometre and forms one of the region's most recognisable landscapes — pale rocks growing straight out of a grassy rise.
Individual rocks measure from five to thirty metres and most carry their own names: Mniszek, Trzy Siostry, Grzyb, Szeroka Baszta, Skrzypce and Skoczek. Rock shelters and caves hide among them; the longest, Jaskinia Sucha, has around 75 metres of passages. In Jaskinia Stajnia, Neanderthal molars were found — the only such discovery in Poland, estimated at about one hundred thousand years old.
The ridge is popular climbing terrain, yet it works just as well as the goal of a quiet walk. The rocks follow the red Trail of the Eagles' Nests from Bobolice to Mirów, so a visit is easily combined with seeing both strongholds.
