Tips from the Community
The path around the reservoir is mostly paved with concrete slabs, so it's not a cyclist's dream... Fortunately, large sections are laid in such a way that there is a strip of bare earth/sand between the slabs in the middle, so you can stubbornly ride there, avoiding the slabs.

An ideal place to catch your breath during cycling activity. Rest shelter no. 23 is one of the best recovery points in the area, created with road cycling, gravel, trekking and MTB enthusiasts in mind.

The cross, set on private property, is very well-maintained and this year marks the centenary of its construction.

Driving along the causeway, the route sometimes feels like driving through a park. The route looks quite picturesque, and that bridge along the way is a real eye-catcher. There are benches and information boards. I recommend it.

In autumn you need to watch out not only for protruding roots but also for treacherous leaves lying everywhere.

The combination of English Neo-Gothic architecture with Swiss-style architecture produced a remarkable effect. The palace, built of brick and wood, has three stories. The octagonal tower is topped with a pointed dome. The building's form is embellished by numerous bay windows, attics, and turrets. The interior is highly ornate, with intricately carved paneling, stained-glass windows, and paintings making an impression. A spiral staircase in the vestibule attracts attention, while a tiled stove in the Fireplace Room displays hunting trophies. Hunting trophies hang on the walls. In front of the palace stands a historic sculpture of St. Hubert, the patron saint of hunters. After being converted into a hotel, the hunting lodge has regained its former glory. Noma Hotel Residence is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful properties of its kind in Poland. This reputation is all the more justified by the hotel's charming location – it is surrounded by a park and the waters of Lake Paprocańskie.

Promnice takes its name from the Promnitz family – Silesian nobility who ruled the Pszczyna estate from the mid-16th to the mid-18th century. After their death, the estate passed into the hands of the Anhalt family. It was a member of this family who built the first hunting lodge in the Pszczyna Forest. However, the time of greatest prosperity came with the takeover of Pszczyna by the Hochberg family, aristocrats considered part of the elite of the German Reich.
