Ruined Castle, Rock formation in Blue Mountains, Australia
Located in the Jamison Valley, the Ruined Castle formation rises prominently from dense rainforest, featuring large boulders stacked to create a castle-like silhouette.
The walking track to Ruined Castle follows former mining routes from the 1800s, with remaining evidence of old cottages and industrial operations along the path.
The rock formation holds significance for Aboriginal communities of the Blue Mountains region, who maintain traditional connections to this natural landmark.
The return journey to Ruined Castle spans 6.6 kilometers and requires 4 to 5 hours to complete, with steep sections demanding proper hiking equipment.
The final approach requires visitors to navigate through a natural rock maze, climbing between massive sandstone blocks to reach the summit viewpoint.
