Tips from the Community

July 16, 2025, Złotnicki Dam

The Złotnicka Dam is an impressive structure situated on picturesque Lake Złotnickie, a beautiful spot on the Kwisa River. Its architecture was designed by the talented construction consultant Curt Bachmann from Jelenia Góra, who combined functionality with aesthetics in his work. This majestic dam not only regulates water flow but also enhances the landscape, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of harmony with nature.

Because severe floods devastated the city and the countryside, large dams were built against the Queis/Kwisa (1901/05 and) 1919/24.

In German, this is the Galgen-Bastei, i.e. for executions, as Arek already writes. The building now stands in a fenced area of a hotel.
