Tucked into the forested Sowie Mountains of Lower Silesia, Rzeczka is a place whose character is shaped by the steep slopes around Wielka Sowa, the range’s highest summit. This small settlement is part of the Walim area, where hiking routes cross woodland and connect the mountain ridges with the valleys below. Near Rzeczka, the Walim Adits form one of the underground sites associated with Project Riese, the vast, unfinished construction programme begun by Nazi Germany during the Second World War and built with forced labour. The site gives the quiet mountain setting a difficult historical dimension. Move on to other webcams in Lower Silesia to compare the Sudetes’ mountain settings.
