I recommend taking a look inside (at least the lobby), original decor elements and finishes, including a revolving door with crystal glass

An artificial reservoir (it turns out that the locals consider it the First, not the Second) on Czarci Potok. A quiet place just west of Pełcznica. A beautiful place, with beautiful forests on the banks of the pond. Along the pond runs an excellent, wide road, from which it is worth deviating a bit to take a break here.

The name of this small lake comes from Princess Daisy Hochberg von Pless (1873–1943), the last owner of Książ. It was one of her favorite places to relax. Interesting ruins here include a viewing tower with a hunting lodge, which the princess ordered built here. The lake itself, sometimes called Zielony, was created in the 19th century as a result of quarrying reef limestone on the slopes of Mount Witosz. The lake has a false bottom due to sediments, dead trees and vegetation. The real depth may be as much as 23 meters.

The spa house of Szczawno-Zdrój (German: Bad Salzbrunn) in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland. Right next to it is a very beautiful spa park

Moving around the park itself by bike is difficult, the overgrown gravel paths have a barrier on the trail and in some places you have to walk.

From this place there is probably the most beautiful view of the Książ Castle. At the bottom of the terrace there is a path to the ruins of the old castle.
