Bridge over the Kwisa River/Goldentraum Dam. It's quite old, but can be used by pedestrians and cyclists.

The Złotnicka Dam is an impressive structure situated on picturesque Lake Złotnickie, a beautiful spot on the Kwisa River. Its architecture was designed by the talented construction consultant Curt Bachmann from Jelenia Góra, who combined functionality with aesthetics in his work. This majestic dam not only regulates water flow but also enhances the landscape, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of harmony with nature.

Impressive building which was built between 1919 and 1924.

The small village of Goldentraum is located south of the dam of the same name, but not on the shore of the dam, but rather a little above it. The center of the village is a ring of houses, with the town hall at its center, which, however, is in a deplorable state. There are seating areas for a rest. The name recalls the fact that there was once hope of finding gold here, although this only materialized to a very small extent.

Because severe floods devastated the city and the countryside, large dams were built against the Queis/Kwisa (1901/05 and) 1919/24.
