Szwajcaria

Lesser known than Saxon Switzerland and much smaler, but just as stunning: the ​Szwajcaria Lwówecka offers ancient rock formations, hidden forest trails, and rugged beauty. If you’re looking for a true nature adventure far from the crowds, you’ll find it right here – just steps away from The Oak Lodge.

Szwajcaria Lwówecka - Wilderness and Quiet Trails

A Landscape Shaped by Stone and Time

Tucked between Lwówek Śląski, and the Bóbr Valley lies a forgotten gem: the Löwenberger Schweiz. The name deliberately echoes better-known sandstone landscapes – and for good reason. Towering rock spires, weathered ridges, and winding ravines mark a terrain shaped over millions of years.

Geologically, this area belongs to one of the oldest landscapes in the region. Rock layers from the Permian and Triassic periods – more than 250 million years old – form the foundation. The mixture of sandstone, volcanic rock, and crystalline deposits has created a wild, visually stunning environment, protected today as a geological treasure.

Despite its dramatic beauty, the Löwenberger Schweiz remains off the radar for most tourists – and that’s exactly what makes it so special. Hikers often walk without seeing another soul. There are no souvenir shops or trail crowds here – just moss-covered stones, gnarled trees, and forest silence.

The Oak Lodge as Your Gateway

Whether you’re planning an intense hike or a quiet walk in the woods, the Löwenberger Schweiz offers a nice destination for all levels. Rock formations like the Skały Bolesławieckie, viewpoints like Zamczysko, and winding paths along forgotten streams make this a paradise for curious explorers.

The best part? You don’t have to go far. The Oak Lodge sits right on the edge of the Löwenberger Schweiz – an ideal base for hikes, bike rides, or spontaneous adventures into this hidden corner of Lower Silesia.

The Extraordinary

Przemysław

Outstanding Atmosphere



We spent 5 unforgettable days here. The surroundings are perfect for a city dweller – meadows, orchards, forests. Seclusion from the surroundings and the feeling of finally being able to breathe.

The building exudes history, creaks, smells of wood – that's its charm!

Krzychu

Action & Relaxation



An absolutely unique place, the atmosphere of a 200-year-old half-timbered house is impossible to imitate/repeat.

Great as a starting point because the area is full of attractions, it works great as an escape from the city hustle and bustle, you can calm down and just relax.
