It only makes sense to start with the city that lends its name to the area. The city of Klodzko is the core to this corner of Poland as its largest urban centre and a key historic site. Once known in German as Glatz, Kłodzko has long been a strategic point on the road between Prague and Wroclaw. Following WWII, the city went through several hardshi...
South of Kłodzko, edging ever closer to the border, lies the small historic town of Bystrzyca Klodzka. Whereas Klodzko bears the hallmarks of the Age of Enlightenment, this walled town gives off a much stronger medieval vibe. Certainly, the stone town walls that surround it are a big part of that. So then is the Wieza Wodna Gate, with the giant por...
Poland is a deeply religious and strongly Catholic country, so it’s no surprise that you’ll find several pilgrimage sites across the country. One such site just happens to be located in the Klodzko Valley – the Wambierzyce Basilica. Occasionally dubbed the “Silesian Jerusalem”, the immense church is found in the small town of Wambierzyce northwest ...

The most notable of these spa towns are Kudowa-Zdrój, Duszniki-Zdrój and Polanica-Zdrój. You may have gues...
Another recurring sight across the Klodzko Valley is historic mansions and palaces dotting the beautiful countryside. I actually think this might be the most interesting aspect of the entire region. In the Klodzko Valley alone, there are at least a dozenpalaces and castles, let alone manor houses. Often privately owned after years of state ownershi...
Others aren’t as far along. For instance, there’s the case of Szalejow Dolny Castle seen above. This grand old building has mostly been left boarded up and sat there, waiting. The property, and especially the dignified family cemetery, is tended to by a local groundskeeper. But beyond that, it’s left to its own devices. This isn’t the case for all ...
With a wealth of destinations to visit, you’re going to want to allow at least a couple of days to explore this blissful region. To do that, it’s best to find somewhere local to base yourself. Given my experience, I’d certainly recommend staying at Kamieniec Palace, as it offers a great deal of comfort while also being quite close to many of these ...
