Like the nearby ponds, there's a huge number of birds here. The view is both beautiful and surprising. I recommend it for a spring or summer trip.

The defensive residential tower, known as the bastion, is the oldest surviving complete structure of the palace-park complex, built in 1560 by the Kurzbach family as commemorated by their coat of arms carved in sandstone above the entrance. The tower was raised by one floor by Swedish forces in 1642 during the Thirty Years' War and was named Sankt Maria Trauburg in 1668, with a steel signature featuring St. Mary and the Christ child symbolizing protection against Turkish invasion threats. After renovations in 2008, the tower now serves multiple purposes including a tourist information center, conference hall, exhibition space, hotel apartment, and viewing terrace, while historically it housed one of Silesia's largest private document archives until 1945.

The Żmigród Palace was built by the von Hatzfeld family in 1655 on the site of a former castle, and later redesigned around 1755 by Carl Gothard Langhans, the renowned Prussian architect who also designed Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. In 1813, the palace's White Hall hosted the signing of the Żmigród Protocol, a crucial agreement for Napoleon's final defeat, attended by Russian Tsar Alexander I, Prussian King Frederick William III, and British and Austrian envoys. The Red Army set fire to the palace in January 1945, destroying the beautiful southern wing completely, and the remaining ruins have stood abandoned ever since.

The Duża Grabówka Pond is one of the best birdwatching spots in the Barycz Valley. It belongs to the "Ruda Sułowska" complex, the second largest group of ponds in the region, covering 800 ha of water. Although there are no towers or lookouts, the road running along the southern shore of the pond offers great bird views. There are several hiking trails in the area, as well as a nature trail loop starting and ending in the village of Ruda Sułowska. The route is ideal for a trekking bike - easy to ride and full of natural attractions.

A dirt road runs along a causeway between the ponds Żabiniec and Trzaśniówka. The road is pleasantly shaded in the summer. It is located on the orange Barycz Valley Trail.
