A historic inn in a particularly picturesque place (on the edge of a cliff) in Borowy Jar. It is worth stopping to admire the bridge over the Bóbr River in this place, and you can always eat there too! The restaurant was established in 1927 after the creation of the artificial Modrego Lake right here on the river. There is also a viewing tower with a great view of the lake!
