Free attractions in Głuszyca are Owl Mountains peaks: you climb without a ticket, and the forest hides the history of the Riese complex.

Which places in Głuszyca carry the "Free" tag?

The tag belongs to mountains: Osówka (716 m above sea level), Jedlińska Kopa (744 m), Moszna (771 m), Jaworek (781 m) and Włodarz (811 m). These are peaks in the Central Sudetes, in the Owl Mountains, covered with spruce or spruce and beech forest. They differ in character: Osówka rises only about 16 metres above the surrounding terrain, while Włodarz has steep slopes and a flat, domed summit. According to the tag you do not pay for the climb itself, but remember this is mountain terrain: check the route and trail marking before you set out.

Is the underground under Osówka free too?

The tag refers to the mountain, not to touring the tunnels. Beneath Osówka lies a World War II complex of the Riese project, open to visitors with a guide, and its rules and any fees must be checked separately before you arrive. The mountain itself, its forest and its surroundings remain a good goal for a day with no expenses.

How do you plan a day without spending?

Three of these peaks neighbour each other in the Włodarz massif: Moszna, Jaworek and Włodarz. Jaworek lies between the other two, west of Walim, so you can plan two or three outings in one area, depending on your fitness. Włodarz and Moszna have domed summits, and in wartime the whole area was kept secret because of the Riese construction. Jedlińska Kopa is a separate goal for those who want to see remains of the narrow-gauge railway from the time of the Riese construction. Go to Osówka when the history of the complex is what interests you.

The descriptions do not say where and how to reach these summits, so work that out before you go.
