The Zakręt Śmierci (in German: Death Curve) describes a noticeable bend on the Wojewodzka 358 road, which connects Szklarska Poręba (3 km south) and Świeradów-Zdrój (10 km west). Like the section through the Habel Schwertter Mountains, this section of the road also belongs to the so-called Sudetenstrasse. Once completed, this connection, planned in the 1930s based on the model of the German Alpine Road, was intended to connect the Zittau region - via the low mountain ranges to the east - with Opava (Troppau) in the east of the Czech Republic. The main aim of this was to improve the accessibility of tourist locations for travelers from large cities such as Dresden and Berlin. The approximately 15 km long section mentioned here was built between 1935 and 1937.
