The short trail marked in black to Wielki Kamień branches off from the trail marked in yellow, which runs over the summit and ridge of Krzywicka Góra. Diabelski Kamień has different notable features: the rock formation lies on the slopes of Kotoń, is 6.5 m high and can be reached via a marked turnoff. This makes it possible to distinguish between the two rock destinations based on their specific features: Wielki Kamień is associated with bouldering and the trail route, while Diabelski Kamień is notable for its height and location on the slope.
How can the building history be understood?
The Church of NMP Królowej Polski was built between 1904 and 1909 in the Neo-Gothic style. Its freestanding bell tower was built in 1908. The interior contains Neo-Baroque altars; the stained-glass windows were made in 1966 to a design by Adam Bunsch. Neo-Gothic describes the style of the church building, while Neo-Baroque describes the design of the altars. The stained-glass windows date from after the church was built.
Willa Klebertówka was built in 1923 and is located near the hamlet of Miłogoszcz. The “Firkówka” farmstead dates from 1924. The years are close together, but refer to different buildings: a villa and a farmstead.
