Swedish Stone (Kamień Szwedzki)

Highlight • Monument

The Swedish Stone was placed in 1626 on the border of the free state states of Żmigród and Milicz with the property of the monastery in Trzebnica. Currently, the border of Trzebnica and Milicz poviats runs here. The stone is 3 meters high, its name comes from the time of the Thirty Years' War, when Swedish troops were on the prowl. It is also known as the Napoleon's Pillar, reportedly when Napoleonic soldiers sharpened sabers on it in 1812.

View of the Barycz River

Highlight • River

The Barycz River is one of the most beautiful rivers in Lower Silesia, ideal for cycling and kayaking. Its calm current meanders through the vast areas of the Milickie Ponds – the largest complex of breeding ponds in Europe, which is part of the Barycz Valley Landscape Park. It is a paradise for nature lovers, especially birdwatchers, who can meet herons, black storks and white-tailed eagles here. Picturesque cycling routes run along the river, leading through forests and meadows, with the possibility of resting at wooden observation towers. The route is easy, so it is perfect for peaceful cycling trips in nature.
