A fantastic castle built on solid rock, a beautiful site in any season. It commands respect for those who built it in the 14th century (yes, over 600 years ago!)

There are many walls left from the building itself, which together with the high rocks create a fairy-tale atmosphere. On the castle grounds you will also find stairs leading to the upper parts of the ruins. One of the places serves as a viewpoint, from which you can see the Sokoliki, characteristic of Rudawy.

Husyckie Skały are made of Variscan Karkonosze granites with veins of aplites. The name of this rock formation is associated with the tragic events of a summer night in 1434. It was then that a group of Hussites attacked the nearby Sokolec castle, which was located on Krzyżna Góra, and after burning it down, they began to flee. However, in the darkness, the riders lost their way and fell into the abyss with their horses. https://youtu.be/z8slg8sOQjU?si=Fim9GKoHGVY1OqSj

The Miraculous Spring is located at the foot of Mount Kapliczna, just behind Jelenia Góra on the Bóbr River. It is not known when it was created - sometimes it is said to be connected with the old castle nearby on Krzywousty Hill, and sometimes with the chapel on Mount Kapliczna. It is not known, but the place is popular, although the water does not seem to have any special powers!

Ostrzyca Proboszczowicka is the highest peak of the Kaczawskie Foothills. In reality, it is a volcanic neck, a fragment of a volcano chimney that was active about 20-25 million years ago, prepared by erosion. The elevation, rising to a height of 501 m above sea level above the flat area, is made of basanite, a volcanic rock poor in silica. In the top part, you can admire the largest rock fields in the Sudetes and a columnar joint occurring in basanites.

💡The Bolzenschloss Castle was first mentioned in writing in 1374 and belonged to the Duchy of Schweidnitz, owned by the knight Nikolaus Bolze. During the Hussite Wars it served as a retreat for the Hussites and was therefore destroyed by a Schweidnitz army in 1433. Between 1517 and 1518 the castle was rebuilt by Hans von Burghaus. During the Thirty Years' War it was conquered and destroyed by the Swedes in 1645, and then fell into ruin. In 1845 it was partially restored in the romantic style by Wilhelm zu Stolberg-Wernigerode in Jannowitz. Since 2008 the Bolzenschloss and other castles and sights in the Hirschberger Valley have been part of the Hirschberger Valley Cultural Park (Park Kulturowy Kotliny Jeleniogórskiej). 💡The Bolzenschloss Castle was first mentioned in writing in 1374 and belonged to the Duchy of Schweidnitz, owned by the knight Nikolaus Bolze.
