I saved myself the entrance fee, which now costs 40 zlotys (or 35 zlotys for a reduced rate), and the climb. Instead, I spent the extra money eating nalesniki and drinking a coffee at the "Ritter Restaurant." A digital tour of the castle flashed across the screen. I'll have to refrain from the main attraction, climbing the castle tower, anyway, due to my fear of heights.

The name of this small lake comes from Princess Daisy Hochberg von Pless (1873–1943), the last owner of Książ. It was one of her favorite places to relax. Interesting ruins here include a viewing tower with a hunting lodge, which the princess ordered built here. The lake itself, sometimes called Zielony, was created in the 19th century as a result of quarrying reef limestone on the slopes of Mount Witosz. The lake has a false bottom due to sediments, dead trees and vegetation. The real depth may be as much as 23 meters.

Grodno Castle (German: Kynsburg) – a historic castle located in the Black Mountains (part of the Wałbrzych Mountains), on the top of Mount Choina (450 m above sea level) rising above the left bank of the Bystrzyca River. The valley of this river, once called the Silesian Valley, is a natural border between the Owl Mountains and the Wałbrzych Mountains located to the west of them. The picturesque location of the castle is enhanced by the Bystrzyckie Lake located at the foot of the mountain.
