Solo in Lubomia: an early medieval hillfort in Grabówka forest, a neo-Gothic church and a wooden chapel from around 1700.
Lubomia lies in Wodzisław County and suits a trip made alone. The three places involve some walking, but they need neither company nor bookings.
What can you see in Lubomia on your own?
Start with the hillfort at the edge of Grabówka forest, between Lubomia and Syrynia. What survives is a settlement of the Gołęszyce people used in the 700s and 800s, wrapped in two earth ramparts reaching roughly 150 metres in diameter. Among the hillforts of the voivodeship it is one of the biggest, and the banks and ditches remain easy to trace.
In the village stands St Mary Magdalene's Church, a neo-Gothic brick building put up in the later 1800s. The parish is much older: the first mention dates from 1303, when a wooden church was consecrated here.
The village's other monument is a timber chapel from about 1700, close to where Polna meets Jana Nepomucena street. Its eight-sided body with a tent roof and bell turret is a stop on the regional route of wooden buildings.
Ideas for solo journeys across the region are gathered in solo in Silesia, and the rest of the village under Lubomia.
