Not only fortress...

Srebrna Gora is a small town (or large village) in the Sowie (Owl) mountains. It is also a name of a huge fortress, the biggest mountain fortress of Europe, build in the 18th century. It was so peaceful and cold, when I visited it with my friend Piotr in January 2005 - according to the care-taker of the fortress we were first visitors in a weektime...

Old bridge - Srebrna Gora

The railway does not exist since 1930s, but amazing bridges are still there, marking the old railtrack accross the Owl Mountains.

View on Srebrna Gora

We have not seen any owls there, but the mountains around Srebrna Gora (Sowie and Bardzkie Mountain Ranges) are certainly worth visiting - peaceful (despite old military forts) and quiet.

Hehe looks like a comfortable bed! I truly enjoyed your photo shots of those trees. You should open a gallery and name it (destiny of the Unknown). Majed

You must love the snow! You had me worried when I saw the bunk room. I'm no camper. Glad you enjoyed your winter break.
