Trail from Janowice Nowe to Bolczów Castle

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Along with the trail, there is an educational path. We cross the stream on flat stones and the trail immediately begins to climb. The elevation gain is not murderous, but we are constantly gaining altitude, walking partly on a beaten path and partly on rocky steps. This is not a route for a stroller.

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.

Szwajcarka Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The oldest building in Poland used as a shelter - wooden, in Tyrolean style, built in 1823. Beautiful shelter at an altitude of 520m above sea level, and a great place to stop. They serve food here and you can stay overnight.

Hussite Rock (Kutschenstein)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Hussite Rock (545 m above sea level) - is an impressive granite rock with 20 m high cliffs. Although we are on a 20 m high rocky outcrop, trees obscure the view of the Jelenia Góra valley, but Sokolik Duży presents itself in all its glory.
The name "Hussite Rock" is connected with the events that took place in the nearby Sokolec Góra castle on the night of 11-12 August 1434. The Hussites, fleeing from the burning fortress, got lost here and fell on horseback straight into the abyss.
