Information
- Krzywousty Tower (German: Hausberg) is a good viewpoint over the entire Jelenia Góra Valley, the Karkonosze Mountains, and the Kaczawskie Mountains. Due to its characteristic dome-shaped roof, it is called the Grzybek observation tower by the residents of Jelenia Góra
- a castle existed on Krzywousty Hill from the 13th to the 15th century; fragments of the stronghold have survived to this day. Before World War II, there was an inn, a bowling alley, and even a concert hall at the summit
- from the observation terrace you can see a large part of the Karkonosze Mountains, the Rudawy Janowickie, and the Kaczawskie Mountains. Below there are benches and a fireplace
- from the parking lot in the city center you can reach Grzybek in 20 minutes by walking along Zielna Street and then following the green trail
- the trip is worth extending to include a visit to Perła Zachodu or the slightly more distant Książęca Tower in Siedlęcin; a renovated and scenic walking path leads to both of these places
- TIP: park at Lidl or Castorama, walk to the Perła Zachodu shelter on one side of the Bóbr River, cross to the other side of the Bóbr at the shelter via a footbridge, and return on the other side. It’s a 9 km loop. A nice trip
