Bolczów Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Ruin of a hilltop castle on two granite rock elevations, which were connected by a surrounding wall. In the multi-sided inner courtyard you can still see the keep and the walls of a rectangular residential tower. The facility is freely accessible and a short tour is highly recommended.

Krzyżna Góra Summit and Viewpoint

Highlight • Summit

A cross has been installed on Krzyżna Góra in Rudawy Janowickie. The views are beautiful. The entire Karkonosze range looks wonderful, but even the smaller hills make a big impression. Karpnickie Stawy are visible below.
