Groß Iser

[1] In the 19th century the village became popular among the visitors of the health resort in Świeradów, which caused fast development of the settlement.

[1] There were 3 bars, mills, so called "church" (in fact a praying building or a chapel), 2 tourist huts (mainly for the health resort visitors), a café, 2 schools, a fire station, and 43 houses.

Between June and October 1945 innocent villagers were violently displaced, some were killed (as for example Paul Hirt, owner of Gross Iser Baude).

It is now called ''Chatka Górzystów'' (the mountain peoples' hut) and it offers sleeping places as well as hot meals.

They earned their livings by fishing (trout mainly), keeping sheep and cattle, as well as producing cheese and wool.
