An asphalt section overlooking the dam and Lake Bystrzyckie. Lake Bystrzyckie, also known as Lubachowskie, is a picturesque reservoir in the Owl Mountains, created in the early 20th century after the construction of an impressive, 44-meter-high dam on the Bystrzyca River. Surrounded by forests and villages, it is a great place to relax by the water, and you can also see the ruins of Grodno Castle towering over the lake. A fascinating attraction is the modern pedestrian footbridge – one of the few structures of its kind in the world – with viewing platforms offering panoramic views of the lake.

Unfortunately, it's in disrepair. The same goes for the large outbuildings. A rather large complex.

Quite a beautiful castle. But only visible from the outside.

The marina at Zalew Mietkowski is a great place for a short bike trip. The reservoir offers beautiful views of Ślęża, and the surrounding area is ideal for road cycling on flat terrain. You can stop at the marina, which offers water equipment rentals if you feel like taking a break from cycling. It is worth taking a swimsuit, especially on warmer days, as the reservoir has a sandy beach.
