Schlossberg Wooden Chapel and Shelter

Highlight • Rest Area

On the road from Rudy to Kuźnia Raciborska, in the place where the "Corvey" forester's lodge used to be, there is a small parking lot, from which you can go on foot or by bike to Góra Zamkowa, better known as Schlossberg. It is a small hill in the middle of the forest, on which, according to legend, there was a castle where robbers lived. Today, the robbers are gone, and in the place of the old castle there is a nice wooden chapel, placed on a stone pedestal. There is a wooden shed next to it, where, if the mosquitoes don't eat us, we can take a break.

Sobieski Oak in Łężczok

Highlight • Natural Monument

Sobieski's Oak - an over 400-year-old specimen of the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) located in the Łężczok nature reserve, within the administrative borders of Racibórz. It is the thickest and oldest tree in Racibórz, the Łężczok reserve, and also one of the three oldest and most impressive trees in the landscape park called Cistercian Landscape Compositions of Rudy Wielkie.
The oak got its name from the legend according to which the tree was planted to commemorate the stay of King Jan III Sobieski in those areas during the march to the relief of Vienna in 1683. It is known, however, that it is not true, because in 1683 the tree was already about 100 years old.
In turn, Jan Duda, in the publication "Natural Peculiarities of Racibórz" published in 2001, writes about the application according to which the king was supposed to stop under an oak tree on his way to Vienna. The oak is part of the tradition of Sobieski trees, well-known in Upper Silesia.
