When choosing a theme for your trip, you can consider this trail and the viaduct as different points of interest: the structure next to the station, and the start of a named technical trail.

Which hiking trails pass through the town?

A green hiking trail leads from the station towards Jugów. Another section of the green trail runs along Fabryczna Street, where you can see the remains of former factories. These traces give the trail a different focus from a hike where the destination’s direction is the only consideration. If historic industrial facilities interest you, you can take the factory remains into account as a specific point of reference when choosing your route.

The black hiking trail runs towards Nowa Ruda along the foot of Wzniesienie Włodyka. The mountain is 682 metres high. The trail passes the remains of technical facilities: bunkers, warehouses, guard posts, and ventilation shafts. The various building remains show that these are not a single structure, but several types of technical facilities. Thus, the green trail with its former factories and the black trail with the remains of the facilities mentioned above offer different historical themes for planning your hike.
