Next to the stairs leading to the dam, there is a small path that you can ride up. Watch out for the curb at the beginning of the stairs :)

Very picturesque cycle path along the Vistula river embankment

From a tourist point of view, the dam is three kilometers of a straight as an arrow, smooth, asphalt path running along the crown of the entire structure. It is precisely thanks to this smooth asphalt and the nice views that it has become a place of recreation for many residents of Zabrze, Goczałkowice, Pszczyna, and even more distant towns in the Pszczyna and Bielsko districts. Runners and inline skaters dominate here, there are many walkers, but there is no shortage of cyclists either. The lake itself, although artificially created in the 1950s, resembles a natural lake, so the views from the dam are nice.

A superb cycle path which is, among other things, the EuroVelo 4 which crosses Poland. I realize that I can take it all the way to Krakow, my final destination, but the wind is blowing hard today and the path is elevated, so I am not at all sheltered from the wind. I decide to leave it further on to follow my initial itinerary.

The combination of English Neo-Gothic architecture with Swiss-style architecture produced a remarkable effect. The palace, built of brick and wood, has three stories. The octagonal tower is topped with a pointed dome. The building's form is embellished by numerous bay windows, attics, and turrets. The interior is highly ornate, with intricately carved paneling, stained-glass windows, and paintings making an impression. A spiral staircase in the vestibule attracts attention, while a tiled stove in the Fireplace Room displays hunting trophies. Hunting trophies hang on the walls. In front of the palace stands a historic sculpture of St. Hubert, the patron saint of hunters. After being converted into a hotel, the hunting lodge has regained its former glory. Noma Hotel Residence is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful properties of its kind in Poland. This reputation is all the more justified by the hotel's charming location – it is surrounded by a park and the waters of Lake Paprocańskie.

Promnice takes its name from the Promnitz family – Silesian nobility who ruled the Pszczyna estate from the mid-16th to the mid-18th century. After their death, the estate passed into the hands of the Anhalt family. It was a member of this family who built the first hunting lodge in the Pszczyna Forest. However, the time of greatest prosperity came with the takeover of Pszczyna by the Hochberg family, aristocrats considered part of the elite of the German Reich.
