Zieleniec for a (long) weekend

Zieleniec for a (long) weekend

Tourism

Table of contents

Greenery — cheers!
Excitement for exclusivity
Much more than a macro
(Micro) climate and (macro) emotions — what more could you want?

From the article you will learn about:

  • How to plan a spring trip to Zieleniec and what attractions await you there.
  • Why the observation tower at the peat bog is a mandatory point on the tour route.
  • How the microclimate of Zelenec works and why it is worth “taking it with you to spare”

If you are looking for an idea for a May weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Greenhouse will be your hit. Here spring is in full bloom - the lush greenery of the forests, the singing of birds and the crystal clear air create ideal conditions for relaxation. Scenic trails, viewpoints, cable cars and local gastronomy await you here — all to spend your time actively and truly regenerate.

It is true that in the coming days it will not be possible to stay overnight in Zieleniec, but it is still worth planning to come here even for one day, because there is no shortage of attractions and interesting places. However, the most important thing is that nowadays everything is going green in our country, which is actually the only such moment in the whole year.

Also during the long weekend there will be some restaurants and bars in Zieleniec. So, coming for a walking tour around Zieleniec, we can safely use one of the gastronomic points.

From the tower to the Peatland

As you probably noticed, recently another observation tower was erected in our area, which is unique for two reasons; firstly, it is primarily wooden (with stone foundations), which is not at all standard for such structures. And that makes it just pretty and doesn't mess up the whole neighborhood. A small tourist infrastructure has also been created around it - you can come, sit, relax, have a snack and something to drink.

Secondly, it is of course a magnificent panorama from its top. In good weather, you can see most of the Sudeten ranges - from the Giant Mountains to the Massif Śnieżnik and Jeseniki. It is best, of course, to plan sunrise or sunset here - then the views are truly spectacular.

The tower can be the first point on the route of a full-day tour (especially if it is sunrise). Then she can drive through the Green Hound, Serlich until the Masarykova Hut Shelter. Then down the blue trail to Zieleniec, a short rest (a quick meal in the fresh air purchased at one of the Zieleniec food outlets).

A shorter version of the tour, for example with younger walkers, can already be completed in Zieleniec. But for those who want to spend more time on the trail, a good option will be to go further along the trails and dukes of the Bystrzyckie Mountains, a little around until the Torfowiska pod Zielenicem.

Silence, quite strongly clouded by birds singing louder and louder, priceless peace, the opportunity to commune with nature alone. There will not be beautiful views there, but such a form of relaxation helps a person to relax and put his thoughts in order.

Queue with the little ones

The shorter version of the above tour can of course be modified and started by entering the ridge of the Orlickie Mountains by one of the two cable railways of Zeleniec, which will be open from 1 to 3 May. You will find details about their course at this link. Of course, it will be possible to throw something also good on the tooth these days - we hope that the weather will allow you to do it in the fresh air and in the company of the sun!

Further, the route can of course continue towards the peak of Orlica and the tower located there, then descend with a pleasant walk back to Zieleniec. The whole, slow pace will take a total of about two or three hours, although everything of course depends on the pace that the little ones will set.

Take air with you to spare

However, whatever route you choose in the end, the most important thing is that you make the most of the green air and microclimate. The slogan “here you breathe” is not really a hackneyed slogan. The microclimate and the quality of what we have here in the air is not to be overestimated. If you add to this a light mountain breeze, a bit of Sudeten coolness, then we get as a result a thunderous mixture of health with positive energy. That is, in fact, what we all need most.

Zeleniec is a place that is worth visiting regardless of the season, but in spring it acquires a special charm. A long weekend is a great time to slow down, breathe in the mountain air and discover the charms of the local trails. Plan your May holiday in Zieleniec now — bring your family, friends or come solo and see how good a rest in the Sudetenland can be.
