The Barycz Valley is a mecca for ornithologists, a place to reset busy townspeople and a paradise for taste seekers thirsty for outstanding fish. Canoeists, cyclists and those who want to see the area from the back of a horse will also find their place here. Here are some ideas for local pleasures:
#1 forest walk with forester Kuba Wenck
You can get a taste of such a walk just by browsing Kuba's Instagram profile (search under the name ''tanczacachmura''), where he shares his forest everyday life. You can choose a tourist and nature walk, where you will learn the secrets of the forest, or a photographic walk. The duration of both walks is approx. 4.5 hours, in a group of up to 8 people.

#2 participating in a rut
And what is this rut - some of you will probably ask. Rut is the equivalent of a rut, i.e. a courtship period, but not among red deer, but fallow deer. It lasts from mid-October to mid-November, and it's really worth getting out from under your autumn blanket for this spectacle (you can take cocoa in a thermos). Foresters estimate that about 1,000 fallow deer live on the Barycz River. With a lot of luck, however, you will see not only brown fallow deer here, but also unique leucistic varieties - white and black. The unusual color of the fur of these individuals is due to hormonal disorders. Photos of such "colorful" fallow deer can be found on the above-mentioned profile of Kuba.
#3 trying the carp from Milicz
The Milickie ponds are famous for their wonderful carp, which are bred here in the most nature-friendly way. In the area you can taste fish from local fisheries, e.g. in Ptasia Osada or Hubertówka. In summer and autumn, when water is drained from the ponds, culinary events are organized where you will not only eat well, but also save yourself. Enter Carp Days and Carp Festival in the search engine to find out about this year's dates of these outdoor fish events. It is also worth mentioning that the Milickie Ponds have been appreciated and included in the UN Living Lakes program, the list of which so far includes only 24 lakes from around the world.
#4 counting up to 276
That's how many species of birds we have counted. Numerous lookout towers and observation towers help in observing them, the largest of which - in Grabownica - is 13 meters high and is called the Tower of Blue Birds. Remember to take binoculars with you on the trip and to respect the boards prohibiting entry to the banks of some dikes. Birds also need places just for themselves.

#5 visiting the Bauble Museum
In Milicz holidays last all year round, because it is here that the unique Museum of Baubles is located. The museum was established in the Milicz bauble factory and is part of the Creative Multifunctional Facility. Inside, you will see over 6,000 hand-painted Christmas decorations, eat a homemade cake, and watch Polish film classics on a summer weekend.
#6 seeing well-kept ruins
Most often you can find two types of monuments - renovated and those in ruins. However, the Hatzfeld Palace in Żmigród does not fit into any of these categories. No one believed in its complete reconstruction due to the scale of the investment. Nevertheless, it was not left alone, but secured in the form of - nomen omen - a permanent ruin. In 1813, it was in this palace that the Prussian King Frederick William II, Tsar Alexander I, Bernadotte, the heir to the Swedish throne, and Austrian and British envoys met. The result of this meeting was the Trachenberg Protocol (also known as the Żmigród Protocol), which sealed the end of Napoleon Bonaparte's conquests.
