Scenic views in Jedlina-Zdrój wait on the Borowa tower and on peaks of the Black Mountains. See where to stand to take in the Sudetes.
The best spot is the Borowa observation tower. The steel, openwork structure opened in 2017 has a terrace at 15.3 m, reached by 90 spiral steps. The tower stands on top of Borowa (853.3 m), the highest mountain of the Wałbrzych Mountains, on the border of Wałbrzych and Jedlina-Zdrój. From the terrace you look over the surrounding ranges of the Sudetes. The "Dla par" (for couples) tag suggests a good goal for a shared walk, and the "Solo" tag means you can just as well come alone.
Most of Borowa is covered with dark spruce forest, which gave it the old names Góra Czarna (Black Mountain) and Schwarzeberg. The summit also carries an unusual structure: 32 steel columns set at 68 degrees form a hyperboloid narrowing towards the middle, and the whole is 16.5 m high. With the lightning mast the tower reaches 19.5 m.
In the 1840s a park was laid out on top of Kobiela to a design by C. C. Beinert, with gazebos, viewpoints and monuments. Today it is a wooded summit with remains of the old layout, right above the spa and a walk away from the palace in Jedlina-Zdrój. Beside it lies Rzepisko (560 m), which shields the spa quarter from the north. An Aromatic Garden was laid out on its slope, so you stop on the way for more than the panorama.
The remaining places with the "Piękne widoki" (scenic views) tag are hills of the Black Mountains: Wołowiec (776 m), Mały Wołowiec and Kozioł (774 m). Sources describe no viewpoints or trails there, so treat them as walking goals and check a current hiking map of the Wałbrzych Mountains.
Farther away are Sucha (776 m), a steep cone of volcanic rock in the Rybnicki Ridge, and Wawrzyniak (668 m), a dome with a flat top west of Głuszyca. Stróżowa Góra (648 m) in the Owl Mountains already lies in the Owl Mountains, in the Włodarz massif, a few kilometres south-east of the centre of Jedlina-Zdrój, with spruce and beech forest on top.
Pick a clear day and start from Borowa, because that is where the viewing platform is. Then descend towards the spa, to Kobiela and Rzepisko, where a calm loop along the slopes is easy to plan. Take a map, because the descriptions do not give trail routes for all the hills. All the peaks are described on the mountains in Jedlina-Zdrój page, and those with no entry fee on the free attractions list. The town is on the Jedlina-Zdrój page, and views from the whole region in the scenic views list.
