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.

Hiking

The ruins of Cisy Castle are located 3 kilometres from Książ Castle. A nice, fairly well-maintained trail leads to the site, although it is sometimes worth deviating from it for the beautiful landscapes. On site, you can cross the Czyżynka ford or cross a makeshift footbridge, but you have to be careful there. There are two ways to get to the castle itself: via a bridge, which was recently dismantled (nothing is known about its fate yet) or via paths around it, on which you have to be careful not to fall down.

Located in the forest, a bit out of the way, but worth seeing.
