View of Kriebstein Castle from the campsite

Highlight • Viewpoint

Yes, we went to the campsite to take this photo. Great motive. Imagine if the dam had not existed here since 1905, then there would be a valley.

Czocha Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle was privately owned in the first half of the 20th century, in 1945 it fell to the Polish state and is now a hotel and apparently also used for weddings, as we saw today.
Adultery seems to have been a serious topic at the castle. At least one woman (Ulrike) was drowned for adultery in the castle well and a trap for adulterers is installed in a bed. There are also plenty of secret passages that you can do on the tour.
The entrance costs just over five euros, tours are only in Polish, but to start the tours you get German info sheets

Impressive dam wall, which by Dt. Engineers 1901-1905 was built. German technology from Siemens-Schuckert is still in the machine house. The wall blends in well with the landscape. The upper parking lot at the lake is chargeable. There was delicious, freshly smoked mackerel (St = 20 Zl). The lower parking lot, directly on the street with access to the dam, is free of charge. But here you have to walk about 1km. and you pass the engine house, but you have to use one of the two stairs on the side of the dam to get to the dam.

Leśniańska Dam and Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

Interesting building. Unfortunately, the stairs down are apparently only allowed for the staff of the power plant.
