Olesko Castle, like most medieval fortresses, stands on a hill, thanks to this, it can be seen even from the highway when you drive in the direction of the village of Olesko. You can leave the car near the church and from here you can walk to the castle.
There are souvenir shops on the right side of the road, and on the left there is a small house that sells tickets to the castle museum.
The path runs along a rocky road, and here, on the way, travelers are met by stone statues, not far from which there is a cafe where you can have a good lunch of Ukrainian cuisine. After refreshing yourself in a cafe, take a walk through the park with stone sculptures, take a few photos as a keepsake and go further to the territory of the castle complex.
The main entrance to the Olesko Castle is unremarkable, the main interesting things await inside the fortress.
