A beautiful castle. There's also a museum of technical equipment and vintage vehicles on the grounds. I was there on a Monday, and it was closed.

Przełęcz Jugowska at an altitude of 801m. Access to it is by a quiet asphalt road, great for cyclists who like climbs. There are no views here, but there is a huge information board about the area, a parking lot, a bar and a shelter.

The market square in Świdnica is one of the best-preserved markets in Lower Silesia, surrounded by colorful tenement houses and full of atmospheric cafes. In the center there is a historic town hall with a viewing tower available for tourists. It is worth walking up to the Neptune fountain. The area is friendly to road cyclists - good quality asphalt roads lead here from the direction of Wrocław and Wałbrzych. The market square is a good place for a break on the route - you can safely leave your bike here and replenish your supplies. In the season, it is worth watching out for pedestrians, because it can be crowded.

One of the variants of the ascent to Przełęcz Sokołą leads from the north from the Walim side. On this 5-kilometer section, the average gradient is 4.8%, but the last part is especially difficult, where the gradient reaches 10-11%. The asphalt is good, but there are some patches. Wide views await us only at the pass.
