Built on the peak of Mt Choina (450 meters above sea level), Grodno Castle may be counted among the most impressive medieval castles in Poland, although it was once called ‘the abode of robbers’. The castle has a tower of considerable height from which you can enjoy a fantastic view of the mountains. Inside there is a museum that showcases exhibits relating to the castle’s history as well as oil paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries, cold steel weapons and a number of other interesting artefacts...

A lesser-known historic building in Zagorze Slaskie is the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, erected around the year 1500. It is of simple construction with a modest interior, but still worthy of a visit.

The dam of the Bystrzyckie Lake rises 44 meters and is 230 meters wide. Interestingly, in the where today is the lake, before the dam was built there was a village called Slaska Dolina, which disappeared under the waves in 1914 as the newly dammed waters rose. You can cross the lake by a hanging bridge or float over it in a kayak or on a water bike. In Zagorze Slaskie you can try out your winter sport skills, with numerous ski-lifts to take you up and gentle slopes to bring you back down again, especially suitable if you are a beginner.
