On the foundations of the watchtower, Karczma Głodowa, Relax Motel and the burned museum stands JUNA - the Museum of the Earth.
After a break forced by the fire that destroyed the museum in 2015 and the difficult reconstruction, you can now see a beautiful new exhibition. A unique collection of ornamental and precious minerals in Poland, in attractively arranged rooms, along with stories about the traditions and customs of medieval treasure hunters - Walloons, is a real treat for every tourist who wants to explore the Western Sudetes. The JUNA Earth Museum is a place whose walls are saturated with extraordinary history, and the interiors hide the most beautiful and unusual treasures of the Earth and products of human hands.
