The Zalew Sulistrowicki is a reservoir in Sulistrowice. Its location within the municipality of Sobótka and the Ślężański Park Krajobrazowy connects it both to the town and its landscape. Activities mentioned in the area around the reservoir include walking, cycling, swimming and fishing. One important restriction should be noted: swimming is prohibited in the bathing area. The general reference to activities in the surrounding area therefore does not mean that swimming is allowed in that area.

The season also changes how the lake is experienced. In winter, the area by the town beach becomes a local meeting place for ice bathing. This is a seasonal description of the place, not information about a fixed event date. If you are planning your trip around a particular experience, distinguish between this winter activity and the activities in the surrounding area that are mentioned year-round.

Destinations mentioned along them include Ślęża, Wieżyca and the Rezerwat Góra Radunia. Another route leads from the reservoir to Ślęża. These details describe different routes and destinations; check current conditions before setting out.

The Neo-Gothic parish church of Najświętszego Serca Pana Jezusa was built in Sulistrowice in 1932. Its architectural style and dedication make it a specific landmark in the town’s history. A historic avenue of small-leaved lime trees runs along ulica Jagiellońska 2–2A. The trees are described as more than 140 years old and 25 to 30 metres tall.

A monumental English oak with a trunk circumference of 4.6 metres, known as dąb szubieniczny, stands at the entrance to the town. South of Sulistrowice, at an elevation of 382 metres in the Wzgórza Oleszeńskie hills, an obelisk commemorates the Lützow Corps’ fight against Napoleonic troops in 1813. Together with the church, the obelisk offers another historical landmark, while the avenue and the oak are natural features of the town.
