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 :)

The historic town hall was originally built in the 17th century, although it was rebuilt after the city fire in 1793. It was then transformed into the late Baroque style. An interesting tower with a helmet and an openwork lantern! It is the oldest seat of local authorities in the Silesian Voivodeship. They must be proud!

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.

Although Strumień, with a population of just 3,500, is one of the smallest towns in the Silesian Voivodeship, its dramatic history could easily have been shared by several large population centers. Everything here revolves around the elements – especially water: from the name of the former village situated right on the Vistula River to the numerous floods that have ravaged the town. Centuries ago, the Strumień market square was filled with houses with porches typical of flood-prone areas. Floods sometimes hit the town as often as three times a year. Although the rivers have changed over the years (today, only a five-kilometer canal called Strumień flows through the town center), and despite the commissioning of a gigantic reservoir in nearby Goczałkowice in 1956, flooding still occurs, as in May 2010, when the Strumień park was flooded. https://www.poznaj-slask.pl/rynek-w-strumieniu/

Cool and pretty market in Strumień. It is better to come in the early hours on weekends or evenings during the week, there are no cars then.
