Łomnica solo: a palace and manor to visit alone, an 18th-century prayer house and quiet summits from Radlica to Široký vrch.
Start with the Łomnica Palace, a Baroque building from the 17th century that was rebuilt after devastation as an interiors museum and hotel. It lies in the northern part of the village, about five kilometres from Jelenia Góra. Next door stands the Widow's House manor from 1803-1804, now a hotel, restaurant and foundation seat. It had a major renovation in 1995-1998, and its hall keeps a cross vault and a cleaned, partly reconstructed wall painting. The building has been in the monument register since 14 August 1987. The palace has a long line of owners: the Łomnica estate belonged to the Zedlitz family from 1475 to 1654, then to the Tomagninis and Menzls, and from 1835 to Carl Gustav von Küster, so a visit is also a lesson in the history of the region's noble families.
The prayer house in Łomnica is a small half-timbered building from 1748 that originally stood in Rząśnik. In 2020 it was moved and reconstructed next to the palace, on the grounds of the former farm buildings. It is the last original building of its type in Lower Silesia: a timber frame with brick infill and a hipped roof. After 1945 the building lost its function and for some time served as a warehouse. Today it is a calm stop for people who like details without a crowd.
The shortest: Radlica (about 403 m) in the Rudawy Janowickie, granite, wooded, with no marked trail to the top, and Ziębiniec (449 m) in the Łomnica Hills, between Czarne and Łomnica. Radlica lies at the western edge of the Rudawy Landscape Park, between Łomnica and Wojanów, and Ziębiniec is built of Karkonosze granite in an elongated, domed form. In the Stone Mountains on the Polish-Czech border lies Słodna (790 m). Near Głuszyca rises Kościelec (802 m) of Permian porphyry, entirely on the Polish side of the border, between Ruprechtický Špičák and Słodna. In German it was called Hüttenberg. Higher is Široký vrch (839 m), reached by a green trail, which for someone alone can be the most important feature of a route.
Only Široký vrch has a trail. For the other summits the listings give no approach, and Radlica has no trail to the top, so plan your route with a map. It is also wise to tell someone where you are going.
