The Silesian Ramparts are the longest archaeological site in Poland. This medieval structure is considered the equivalent of the famous Great Wall of China. These are the until-recently-mysterious Silesian Ramparts, built in the 14th and 15th centuries on the border of the former Duchy of Głogów. The medieval Szprotawa District (districtus sprotaviensis) bordered the Duchy of Żagań to the west and the Duchy of Jawor to the south. The structure was enormous considering the local conditions. A system of ramparts and ditches was painstakingly constructed over several dozen kilometers, terminating at rivers or marshes. Sometimes the fortifications were so strong that they consisted of up to four adjacent ramparts. Hedges were planted and maintained on their crests to prevent sudden intrusions into the duchy. To give you an idea, at some sites the fortification system was over 40 meters wide with the height of the ramparts being about 2.5 meters!

The Bobrowice Loop - marked fire road no. 26, distinguished by its paved surface and additionally marked with stone signposts with the inscription "Bobrowicka Loop". The route begins in Nowa Kopernia and leads into the Lower Silesian Forest. It passes by the historic Stone Signposts and through the Bobrowice Ponds, above which there is a "Śniadanisko" (Sandbox) with a wooden shelter, benches, tables and a place for a safe bonfire. Two ecological sites have been established here: "Łabędzi Staw" (Swan Pond) and "Żurawie Bagno" (Cranes' Bagno). This is an area inhabited by cranes and a hunting ground for white-tailed eagles. The route is intersected by the Silesian Ramparts (the longest archaeological site in Poland). The 11.3 km long tourist route ends at the Forester's Lodge in Bobrowice - currently the "Nad Bobrem" agritourism farm.

A very beautiful religious building, where you can experience the different building eras and styles. The building is partly made of natural stone, partly of bricks, and was first mentioned in the 13th century. The interior is very artistic.
