Blog Ani i Radka
During our second day in Góry Stołowe we went to Wałbrzych and visited first Książ castle. This third biggest castle in Poland is famous because of mysterious tunnels built under it by Germans during WWII.
Next we moved to see Wałbrzych Old Mine, art and science center located in renovated buildings of mine closed in mid nineties. I must say that this was a treat for me as heavy machines lover. Also we were able to participate in guided tour what was nice.
During our first season of running we decided to try lots of different kinds of running. We signed for marathon in Poznań, I tried triathlon. Ania also insisted on trying mountain trail running. So we signed up for 24 km of Garmin Ultra Race Radków in September. We planned to have a few days trip to Góry Stołowe, hike a bit and run. But a few weeks before the event Ania decided that Kamila is still too small and taking her there and back just for a few days is not worth it, so I took my brother and Wojtek and we made some men road trip.
First day after arriving we went to see Błedne Skały, a labyrinth of old rock formation with narrow passages and hidden routes. Later that day we also visited Szczeliniec Wielki, the highest peak in this mountain range and Kudowa Zdrój one of local health resort.
In Kudowa Zdrój we found Old Toys Museum that was very interesting for as adults and educational for Wojtek.
Having four kids around is challenging in mountains but we don’t give in 🙂 Another destination: Chojnik Castle. Not that much of a hike because only ~330m of elevation and 6km in all but hey – some of them kids don’t even walk yet so be understanding 🙂
It was a very nice hike, totally suitable for children. The views were great at the top although the hill is not particularly high. I think we will repeat this trip one day.
