• A level B heritage protection zone covers the central part of the village, including buildings from the former manor farm and part of the former village green.
• Kamieniec was first mentioned in historical records on 28 June 1203. The road bridge over the Kanał Janowicki is a masonry-and-steel structure dating from around 1913.

The southern waterway route from Wrocław enters the four-kilometre-long Janowicki Canal. It passes under the road bridge to the island in Kamieniec Wrocławski and continues to Janowice Lock. The four kilometres refer to the length of the canal, not the entire route. This makes it possible to understand the waterway aspect of the place through a specific sequence: canal, bridge to the island and lock. If waterways are important to your travel plans, this offers a distinct way to approach choosing your destination.

The multi-street village settlement pattern developed around a central village green. It has been preserved in the northwestern part of Kamieniec Wrocławski. The central part of the village lies within a level B heritage protection zone. This includes buildings from the former manor farm and part of the former village green.

The historical dates also refer to different aspects: Kamieniec was first mentioned on 28 June 1203; the road bridge over the Kanał Janowicki dates from around 1913. Its construction combines masonry and steel. The settlement pattern, former village green and a specific structure thus offer different ways to explore the village’s history.

Paths have been laid out in Kamieniecki Park, and benches and play equipment for children have also been installed. This adds another local feature alongside the waterway and village history: the park, with its paths, seating and play equipment. These features appeal to different interests, without making the park the only possible focus of a stay.
