Geografi
Byen ligger i Kraków-Częstochowa Jura mellem Kraków og Katowice, ved floden Baba, en biflod til Sztoła, ved en større vej (Droga krajowa 94 (de), med forbindelse til Warszawa og Kraków, hvilket gør den til den centrale by i nærheden. Olkusz ligger også på hovedjernbanen, som forbinder Øvre Schlesien og Zaglebie med Kielce. Starczynów-ørkenen (en) ligger i nærheden, og sandflugt fra ørkenen bekymrede byen, indtil området blev tilplantet i 1949.

Oklusz Town Hall and Basilica of St Andrew. Oklusz is at the southern end of the “Trail of the Eagles' Nests” (Szlak Orlich Gniazd) named after a chain of 25 medieval castles which the trail passes by, 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 Eagles’ Nests Landscape Park (Park Krajobrazowy Orlich Gniazd).
The castles, including Pieskowa Skała, Ogrodzieniec, Mirów, Bobolice Castle date mostly from the fourteenth century, and were constructed by the order of the Polish King Kazimierz the Great. They have been named the "Eagles' Nests", as most of them are located on large, tall rocks of the Polish Jura Chain featuring many limestone cliffs, monadnocks and valleys below. They were built along the fourteenth century border of Lesser Poland with the province of Silesia, which at that time belonged to the Kingdom of Bohemia.
The Eagles' Nests castles (Orle Gniazda), many of which survived only in the form of picturesque ruins, are perched high on the tallest rocks between Częstochowa and the former Polish capital Kraków. The castles were built to protect Kraków as well as important trading routes against the foreign invaders. Later, the castles passed on into the hands of various Polish aristocratic families.The Scotch Mist Gallery contains many photographs of historic buildings, monuments and memorials of Poland.
