Rzeczka: Kompleks Wyciągów Narciarskich Górnik
Among the places of Lower Silesia, Rzeczka stands out for the Górnik ski-lift complex on an open slope in the Owl Mountains. This small settlement lies in the Sudetes, where cleared runs and lift lines meet the wooded ridges typical of the range. Górnik is part of Rzeczka’s winter-sports infrastructure, while the surrounding terrain is also used for mountain walks and cycling. The area has a darker historical layer: Rzeczka is associated with Project Riese, the unfinished underground construction programme begun by Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Its tunnels and mountain setting give this part of Lower Silesia a distinctive identity.

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.
