Bridge over the Kwisa River/Goldentraum Dam. It's quite old, but can be used by pedestrians and cyclists.

The Złotnicka Dam is an impressive structure situated on picturesque Lake Złotnickie, a beautiful spot on the Kwisa River. Its architecture was designed by the talented construction consultant Curt Bachmann from Jelenia Góra, who combined functionality with aesthetics in his work. This majestic dam not only regulates water flow but also enhances the landscape, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of harmony with nature.

The Kwisa crossing bridge, although showing its age, is fully functional and safe. A beautiful panoramic view can be enjoyed from the middle of the bridge.

A reservoir on the Kwisa River, the oldest in Poland. The construction of the dam began in 1901. A hydroelectric power plant was built at the foot of the facility. It is the oldest professional hydroelectric power plant in Poland.
