The best MTB trails in Zielonogórski Las Odrzański

A place worth visiting, a restored palace and palace-park complex with beautiful alleys, benches, gazebos, and a floating pier, constitute a charming place for relaxation. The interior of the palace is not open to visitors.

A charming corner, sometimes a lot of mosquitoes.

This place is an old German cemetery (52°01’47.0″N 15°19’00.0″E). To this day, a family memorial stone to the former owners of the palace estate in Laski, the von Schierstaedt family, is located there.

A place with great historical potential. Secured palace ruins, orangery, large park complex with rare trees and small architecture.

Originally, an older building existed on the site of today's castle in Zabór (German: Saabor), but the current shape of the palace is the work of Joannes Schönaich, who commissioned the construction of a new, late Baroque residence in the years 1677-1683. The palace was built on a square-like plan, with four corner projections and a central courtyard, which was characteristic of palace complexes of the time. In 1711, the castle was acquired by Frederick Augustus von Cosel, the illegitimate son of King Augustus II the Strong and Countess Cosel. He commissioned further expansion and modernization works, transforming the palace into an impressive Baroque residence. During this period, the interiors gained rich decoration, and a large park in the French and later English style was created around the castle, which is an integral part of it to this day. Zabór became one of the most representative estates in Silesia at that time. Over the following centuries, the castle changed owners. In the 19th century it belonged to the von Schmettau family, and then to Prince Frederick Augustus of Anhalt-Dessau. A key change in the history of the castle came in 1945. After the end of World War II and the annexation of the Partition to Poland, the castle became state property. The castle in the Partition survived the war in relatively good condition. In the post-war years, the castle was adapted to the Provincial Children's Sanatorium, and then to the Center for the Treatment of Children and Youth. This medical function was maintained for many decades, which contributed to the preservation of the historic substance of the building. The interiors of the palace were adapted to the needs of a medical facility, losing some of their original decor.

The attraction is probably misleading because it is marked on the main road where there is an asphalt DDR,

The Odra Loop is a picturesque cycling route along the Odra River, ideal for cycling and nature lovers. The trail offers views of wild nature, backwaters and forests, and also passes through charming towns with monuments and rest areas. The route is well marked and suitable for trekking and cross bikes. It is worth taking provisions and water, because some sections lead through less urbanized areas. The best time to ride is in spring and summer, when the landscapes are at their most beautiful.

The Baroque castle (palace) was rebuilt in 1745 and 1957. From the 18th century, it was the property of the Counts of Cosel, then the Princes of Siedlisko: Johann Carl, Prince of Schönaich-Carolath, married to Johanna Wilhelmina, Princess of Anhalt-Köthen, and their younger son Ferdinand (born 1763)[3]. The last owner of the palace before World War II was the second wife of the last German Emperor, Wilhelm II Hohenzollern, Hermina, who lived in the palace until 1922 and after the emperor's death until April 1945. From 1956, the palace housed a tuberculosis preventorium for children, from 1976 - a Children's Sanatorium, and from 1998 - a Centre for the Treatment of Children and Youth. The castle together with the farmstead, which includes: three outbuildings, an outbuilding (currently a school), a stable (currently a hotel), a morgue, a greenhouse, two utility buildings and a park constitute the castle complex. Above the main entrance in the cartouche are the coats of arms: the Schönaich-Carolath family (on the left) and a complication of coats of arms (on the right, including: in the central field of the shield and in the upper right field the coat of arms of Saxony, Count von Schlabrendorf).
