An asphalt section overlooking the dam and Lake Bystrzyckie. Lake Bystrzyckie, also known as Lubachowskie, is a picturesque reservoir in the Owl Mountains, created in the early 20th century after the construction of an impressive, 44-meter-high dam on the Bystrzyca River. Surrounded by forests and villages, it is a great place to relax by the water, and you can also see the ruins of Grodno Castle towering over the lake. A fascinating attraction is the modern pedestrian footbridge – one of the few structures of its kind in the world – with viewing platforms offering panoramic views of the lake.

A pass with a height of 568 m above sea level, separating the Sowie Mountains from the Bardzkie Mountains. The pass is one of the lowest depressions and most convenient passages in the entire Sowie Mountains range. On the pass there is a viaduct over the gorge of the former Srebrnogórska Railway.

A remnant of a narrow-gauge railway connecting both sides of the Sowie Mountains. In order to overcome steep mountain elevations, it had a third, cogwheel drive track. A deep ravine was dug out at the Srebrna Pass, over which a steel truss bridge was built in 1903. I don't know why it is called a "suspension" bridge, but that's the name that works here.
