WOP post in Rycerka Górna, Military outpost in Rycerka Górna, Poland.
The WOP post operated as a border protection facility at coordinates 49.43985N and 19.016211E, monitoring movements between Poland and Czechoslovakia.
Established in 1945 following World War II, this military installation served as part of Poland's border security network until its dissolution in 2004.
The post maintains strong connections to Captain Zbigniew Plewa, who lost his life in 1947 during an encounter with local resistance groups.
The former military installation now functions as a youth hostel, providing accommodations and educational opportunities for visitors to the Silesian region.
Regular memorial ceremonies take place at the site to honor former border guards through gatherings that connect current generations with regional military history.
