Tips from the Community
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.

The former PTTK Mountain Shelter on Równica, now known as the Równica Guesthouse, is a facility with a rich history, nestled in a picturesque clearing at an altitude of 758 meters above sea level. It has been serving tourists since the 1920s and once even hosted President Ignacy Mościcki. Today, after a thorough renovation, it retains its regional charm and serves as an important hub for hiking trails (including the red GSB trail) and a popular viewing point. Although it has lost its formal status as a PTTK mountain shelter, it still offers stylish accommodations and regional cuisine, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the mountain atmosphere. The guesthouse can be reached both on foot via numerous trails and conveniently by car via the paved road from Ustroń.

One of my favorite towns in Silesia, an extremely picturesque palace with a park and a beautiful market square.

A beautiful and quiet bike path along the stream. A small oasis of shade for hot summer days.

The castle's Mirror Hall features two enormous mirrors (each 14m²) that were manufactured in Paris and transported to Pszczyna, along with five crystal chandeliers that can be lowered to floor level using pulley systems from the attic - a mechanism that still functions today from the Hochberg era.
