An inconspicuous, somewhat forgotten peak in the Ołowiane Mountains (625m above sea level), just a minute or two from the Piast Castles Trail. A beautiful, green (especially in summer) peak with an exquisite panorama of the Karkonosze and Sokole Mountains. There used to be a viewing tower here, and a shelter nearby, but that's long gone. Today, this place is less popular, but also quieter. Chances are that when you get here, you'll be alone with nature.

A viewpoint with a beautiful panorama on this low mountain ridge above the village of Świny. From here you can see Świny Castle, Bolków, the Wałbrzych Mountains and some of the Kaczawskie Mountains. If you are following the Piast Castles Trail, it is really worth deviating here so as not to miss this beautiful view.

The Świny Castle was once a mighty stronghold dating back to the 10th century. Over the centuries, it has changed from a wooden stronghold into a beautiful Renaissance structure. As long as it's ruins, you pay for admission. Check here for opening hours and ticket prices, including guided tours of the castle. https://www.gorykaczawskie.pl/zamek-swiny/ A beautiful piece of history!

A unique, sloping market square, surrounded by arcade tenement houses from the 18th century. The tenement houses are situated higher than the market square and stairs lead to their high arcades. The market square is closed on one side by the town hall building, and on the other - by the church.

A viewpoint over Bolków and the castle in Bolków. It is worth walking to this point (it will be difficult to get there by bike), because the path is full of various sculptures made in the roots and stumps of old trees. There are a lot of them there and new ones are constantly being created.
