Grodzisko Gryzy

Grodzisko Gryzy

It is a settlement on the hill with a height of 167 meters. It is located near the village Gryzy, between lakes Dybowskie and Długie. Historically, it was a typical defense structure. There is an interesting legend about the place. Apparently, there was a castle once that belonged to the commander of the army and his daughter. When father found out that his daughter fell in love with one of the soldiers, he couldn’t accept it. He banished the knight, and asked the witch to curse his daughter. This led to a disaster, and the castle sank in the lake. Later, a beautiful girl appeared to a young man and asked to carry her out to the edge of the lake. There were horrible snakes and creatures following them.  Suddenly, he turned back to check how far the creatures are and dropped the girl back into the water. Since then, the ghost of a girl shows up floating above the lake and cry.
