The Green Forest hides many secrets. Residents of Żary walking along the marked paths do not realize that there are remains of old buildings among the trees. Ruins of post-mining buildings, the castle of the knight Kuno, who plundered travelers in the Valley of Death, and the Promitz hunting lodge. The forest is slowly absorbing the remains of spectacular buildings.

One of the most interesting is undoubtedly the hunting palace of the Promnitz family, the former owners of Żary. The original building was erected on a hill in Zielony Las, 3 km south of the center of Żary, on the former postal route from Żary to Zgorzelec. The builder and founder was Erdmann II von Promnitz (1683 - 1745), a courtier of the Polish king and elector of Saxony, August II the Strong, who visited the castle and palace in Żary.
