On the Wlen market square, you can't miss the Pigeon Maker's Fountain, which is the symbol of the town. It has been there since 1914, built for the 700th anniversary of the town's founding. It depicts a girl feeding pigeons. This fountain refers to the legend of the city's salvation and the pigeon fairs that have been held here since the 15th century.

Beautiful views, although access from Jelenia Góra by bike with panniers, very demanding. The ascent from the Kamienica River is steep, and the ground (thick gravel) is quite loose, so it's easy to lose traction.

The fountain was created in 1914 to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the city's foundation. In the hexagonal sandstone basin stands a three-sided pedestal, and on it stands a figure of a girl with a dove on her right shoulder. This is how the tradition of pigeon fairs, which have been held every Ash Wednesday since the Middle Ages, was perpetuated.
