Next to the stairs leading to the dam, there is a small path that you can ride up. Watch out for the curb at the beginning of the stairs :)

From a tourist point of view, the dam is three kilometers of a straight as an arrow, smooth, asphalt path running along the crown of the entire structure. It is precisely thanks to this smooth asphalt and the nice views that it has become a place of recreation for many residents of Zabrze, Goczałkowice, Pszczyna, and even more distant towns in the Pszczyna and Bielsko districts. Runners and inline skaters dominate here, there are many walkers, but there is no shortage of cyclists either. The lake itself, although artificially created in the 1950s, resembles a natural lake, so the views from the dam are nice.

"The most beautiful railway station in Poland" may be an exaggeration, but the station building is worth noting, as it's an example of skillfully adapted to modern needs and an exception to the fairly common trend until recently of such buildings first falling into disrepair because no one cares about them, and then being demolished. The Goczałkowice Zdrój stop itself is a convenient starting or ending point for a trip to Lake Goczałkowickie or the Vistula Cycle Route. Especially since there's a restaurant by the nearby pond and two or three others in the nearby spa park – though admittedly, these aren't exactly high-class establishments (with the possible exception of "Kogut i Kurki," where both the interior and the menu are decent). And while waiting for your train, weather permitting, you can admire the sunset colors of the sky and their reflection in the pond.

The construction work on the castle does not seem to be complete yet. Unfortunately it is not accessible, but you can see it relatively well from the fence.

The building is currently being renovated and is therefore not open

The Beach Bar offers tasty snacks and drinks, both on cold and hot days, and all the seats have a perfect view of the lake with its lifts. https://wakego.pl/oferta/bar/ https://m.facebook.com/WakePark-Gocza%C5%82kowice-Zdr%C3%B3j-318785734937261/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdsAd6lUdFE
