Excursion d'une journée au départ de Cracovie au Château de Pieskowa Skala et Czestochowa y compris la vierge noire
Le monastère de Jasna Gora abrite la miraculeuse vierge noire, une peinture gothique de Notre-Dame, qui, après Rome, Lourdes et La Mecque fait de Czestochowa l'une des destinations de pèlerinage les plus importantes du monde. Votre visite au monastère comprend la chapelle miraculeuse et la basilique.
En outre, vous pouvez visiter le musée du 600ème anniversaire, l'Arsenal et le Trésor seul, si vous le souhaitez, tandis que d'autres feront une pause pour le déjeuner et pour acheter des souvenirs.
Votre voyage de retour à Cracovie vous emmène le long du sentier des nids d'aigles, un système stratégique historique de tours de guet et de châteaux. Aujourd'hui la plupart d'entre eux sont en ruines. Cependant, tous n'ont pas ont été entièrement détruits et vous pourrez en découvrir certains qui ont résisté au temps.
Sur le chemin du retour de Czestochowa il y aura une escale à Pieskowa Skala pour visiter un château de la Renaissance bien conservé le long du sentier des nids d'aigles. En haut d'une falaise sur la vallée de la rivière Pradnik, la fortification du 14ème siècle a été reconstruite au 16ème siècle comme une résidence de la Renaissance. Aujourd'hui c'est le berceau du Musée de la collection d'art national de Wawel.

Pieskowa Skala castle was very picturesque through beautiful countryside. The guide was very good and gave time to visit the castle and a stop for refreshments. The Black Madonna at Czestochowa was a very uplifting experience with time to pray at the church and to view the Black Madonna close up. The food at the polish restaurant was delicious a very enjoyable trip.
My wife grew up in a community of Polish Americans and the Black Madonna was an icon not only of the Catholic Church in Poland but of the church in her community as well. Many families had a picture of her in their homes. She wanted to see it in person. The tour was a day long drive and when we arrived a Mass was being conducted in the chapel where the picture was displayed. We had a small glimpse of the picture over several hundred people and through a metal grate. We waited to the end of the mass in the hopes that some of the people would leave but as the mass ended a cover was lowered over the painting. We understood that it would be open for viewing again at 2:00 in the afternoon but our tour could not wait for that. The only saving grace was that we were the only two people on the tour and our tour guide Bruno was delightful and we enjoyed talking with him on the trip up and back. If you are going to offer this tour you should understand when the painting will be visible.
Could have spent less time @ Pieskowa Castle and more time @ Czestochowa/Black Madonna Guide was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful Enjoyable day
While both tour destinations were outstanding and well worth a visit if a castle visit and religious shrine are your interests, we could have done without the snarky, anti-religion attitude of Andrew the tour guide. Fortunately, most of the visit to the shrine was self-guided after a brief introduction by Andrew. He should present a neutral opinion since most people taking this tour are almost certainly going for a spiritual experience. There were several museums at the site he just pointed out the entrance to. Other guides were together with other groups in the museums, offering commentary, etc. Why not with this pricey tour?
My experience was really very good and I recommend this tour to everyone who visit Poland! Jasna Gora monastery in Czestochowa is very special place and Black Madonna extraordinary! Our guide Andrew Andrej? was really nice and friendly person, his information about history of Poland was really useful! Pieskowa Skala Castle was also nice with its long history and beautiful nature. This tour was the highlight of my trip. Thank you!
Czestochowas was very crowded which cant be helped but very interesting. The Castle was nice. The tour guide was very informative and helpful.
