Cisy Castle north of Wałbrzych is impressive. It is believed to have been built in the 13th century and then of course rebuilt. The impressive ruins (these are so-called permanent ruins) allow you to imagine how big this castle once was. In its heyday, there were probably at least three storeys in the walls and it looks like there was also quite a large courtyard. The easiest way to enter the castle is via a convenient path. Everything is free and it will take about 20 minutes to see everything.

An artificial reservoir (it turns out that the locals consider it the First, not the Second) on Czarci Potok. A quiet place just west of Pełcznica. A beautiful place, with beautiful forests on the banks of the pond. Along the pond runs an excellent, wide road, from which it is worth deviating a bit to take a break here.

The castle was built at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, probably on the initiative of Bolko II the Small. During the Hussite Wars at the beginning of the 15th century, the castle was captured and destroyed by insurgents. It was rebuilt and modernized, adapting it to the conditions of artillery defense. During the Thirty Years' War (1618-48), Cisy was captured and burned by Swedish troops. The abandoned castle quickly fell into ruin. It was not until 1927 that the first attempts were made to save the remains of the castle. It was then possible to recreate the main spatial layout, secure the ruins of the residential building, level the tower crown and reconstruct the external entrance gate with the bridge. Further renovation attempts were made in the 1960s, securing the castle to a state of permanent ruin.
