The first of the beautiful Colored Lakes from the north. It owes its color to the presence of calcium and sulfur in the water, from former German mines. An interesting cave is also a passage to the next Purple Lake.

One of the beautiful lakes that were created after the now inactive German mines. The purple color of this lake (!) is due to iron ore and sulfur. The lake is also surrounded by beautiful rock formations, and the air smells of sulfur...

Zielony Stawek is located at the end of the short trail of Kolorowe Jeziorki. There is a bench here, from which you can admire not only the pond, but also beautiful views of the area. The pond is in the basin of the Gustaw mine, where copper and iron sulphate was once extracted (1790-1902). It is also worth remembering that after a drought it dries up completely.

There are no views from Skalnik, which is in the forest, but there are views here, and they are great! You are here at an altitude of 945 m. Some say that from here there is the most beautiful panorama in the entire Sudetes!

It is the highest peak in Rudy Janowickie, at 945m, but unfortunately it is located in the forest, so there are no views. Nearby is Ostra Mała - from which there are views. Nevertheless, if you are here, you have been or have been to the highest peak here, and that counts!
