How long is the drive from Kutna Hora to Wroclaw?
The direct drive from Kutna Hora to Wroclaw is 144 mi (231 km), and should have a drive time of 3 hrs 37 mins in normal traffic.
If you’re going on a road trip from Kutna Hora to Wroclaw, we did the research for you and compiled some great stops along the way — with top places to visit like St Barbara's Cathedral and Czech Museum of Silver, or the ever-popular St Barbara's Cathedral.
The top stops along the way from Kutna Hora to Wroclaw (with short detours) are Sedlec Ossuary, Książ Castle, and St Barbara's Cathedral. Other popular stops include Wang Church, Adršpach-Teplice Rocks, and Szczeliniec Wielki.
St Barbara's Cathedral, located in the Sedlec district of Kutna Hora, is a remarkable example of Gothic architecture. The cathedral is adorned with spiky spires, flying buttresses, and frescoes that add to its grandeur. It was constructed in 1388 and boasts five naves but was not completed until the early twentieth century due to construction delays caused by the declining productivity of the town's silver mines.
I love visiting churches when there are no priests and no preaching etc. This one is amazing!! Especially on a sunny afternoon ♡ From my whole trip to Kutna Hora, this was the highlight.

The cathedral was worth seeing although I think some of the comments about it being the most beautiful are not my opinion.
There are a lots of beautiful areas and you can climb the stairs to the top. There are some nice views and it’s interesting to see the irfan from the back - not what I would have pictured!
The grounds are nice to walk around or sit and have lunch.

Magnificent.
Feel so ancient yet strong holiness around.
It is amusing that the history of this great cathedral was from the working class, not the royal family! In this case was the mining worker in Kutná Hora centuries ago.
The interior was well kept with some fault to show how ancient it was.
It will be cheaper if you buy the ticket in a bundle with the Sedlec cathedral+kotsnice.

Highly recommended visit Kutna Hora. Very peaceful and quiet environment. I visited this city every time I go visit Czech Republic. The Cathedral is astonishing.

The most beautiful cathedral i've ever been able to visit.
Definitely worth a visit but weekdays might be best as more shops in the area would be open and restaurants too.
You can go inside 160Kč for an adult.
No photography or videoing allowed.
No dogs allowed.
Inside is spectacular and you can also follow steps in the corner to go upstairs and look down from above and also out to the front balcony which also give a beautiful view.

A Gothic beauty with "flying buttresses" and interesting ties to Kutna Hora, a very prosperous and powerful silver mining town in the Middle Ages.

This cathedral is absolutely gorgeous, and they have a fantastic, lengthy audio tour that is well worth your time, they really go into detail on the beautiful paintings and stained glass windows around the main altar.
It's a stunning cathedral, with so much history throughout. If you're making your way to Kutna Hora, don't miss St. Barbara's!

A magnificent Gothic church with gorgeous stained glass, murals, and an accessible upper choir featuring an exhibit on the various periods of construction and renovation the cathedral has undergone over the centuries. The colonnade walk outside is also highly worthwhile.

The Czech Museum of Silver is a fascinating place that explores the history and mining of Kutna Hora. Visitors can learn about how silver was discovered in this town, and explore exhibits on local mining history.
I took the underground mine guided tour. The tour was conducted in English and despite the guides apologies about her English, I understood her just fine. The guide went in to a lot of detail about the history of mining in Kutna Hora, the equipment used and the lives of the miners.
Then followed a tour down into what used to be one of the actual silver mines of Kutna Hora, back in it's heydays of mining. The safety precautions requires that we all wore hardhats with a light attached, plus overalls to protect our clothes. Personally I had a lot of fun going into the mines. The guide stops at points of interest and seeing the condition under which miners worked was very enlightening. At one point in the tour, everyone switched off their lights. In the pitch black, it made me really appreciate my office based jobs.
A really enjoyable tour.

Evgeniia — Google review
This tour has great potential. As an English speaker on the Czech language tour (found that part out once it started) I was handed reading material while the tour guide discussed everything else. This was fine above ground but was frustrating in the tight spaces in the tunnels hunching down to wait for others to listen to a description I had already read. The extra charges are a bit much too-you definitely want the jacket but they are not cleaned between users as the fee suggests, I didn’t pay extra to take pictures.
Ammozon Grace — Google review
We came from Prague but there is not much to see in the museum. For the "exhibit", I would give one star but since the museum had description materials in English and French (with grammatical mistakes), I am awarding two stars. All in all, it is not worth of making the trip.

Their hours change every month apparently. The staff were so rude about it too. I was so upset and they were just like “yah it’s on our site too bad”. Well their sites layout is also very confusing and counter-intuitive. Glad to see I didn’t miss much I guess from the other reviews. But what a waste of 4 hours on a train
Peisha Williams — Google review
I had an exceptional experience at the silver mine with the underground mine tour. The guides were truly remarkable and their knowledge about the mine was awe-inspiring. One guide, Renata, went above and beyond by taking my English-speaking boyfriend aside for a private lecture in English, ensuring he didn't miss out on any fascinating details. The attention to detail and personalized service made us feel valued and special. The entire tour was well-organized, informative, and engaging. From start to finish, everything was great, and we left with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the silver mining industry. Highly recommended!
Barbara K — Google review
200K for a 90 minute medieval silver mine tour in English. A little rushed at times and not always easy to hear but nevertheless recommended for something very different. Tunell was narrow and low for about 20m otherwise easy enough - unless you are oversized or very tall then forget it - people do get stuck the guide advised. You wear helmet and it is necessary as you will bump your head. Also wear sensible footwear as it is wet down there. Maximum depth was 35m.

This was totally awesome I did the mine tour and the museum, the mine is very interesting but not the place for claustrophobics, obese people(too small inside) or people w heart problems. Really nice tour guides, one of my most interesting experiences in czechia.

Amazing experience, with a kind and knowledgeable guide. When I arrived at the museum, the final tour of the day (in Czech, and I only speak English) had already begun 15 minutes earlier. Rather than turn me away, a guide at the office personally guided me through the mine in English, following behind the Czech group. She was incredibly knowledgeable and provided interesting facts about the mines and it's workers through the years. The tunnels stretch on for untold miles, honeycombing the earth. This is truly an experience to remember.

The Sedlec Ossuary is a small Gothic chapel decorated with garlands of human skulls and bones. It is also known as the Roman Catholic Cemetery Church of All Saints with the Ossuary, and it was built in 14th century AD as one of the earliest holy grounds in Central Europe.
While visiting Prague, Czech Republic we took the train to Kutná Hora to explore this unique church. The bones of people have been arranged as decorations and lamps. Piles of skulls are also stored there. #CulturalLandmarks_KutnaHora
Jose Gregorio Lepervanche Valencia — Google review
Thousands of human bones arranged in intricate patterns, chandeliers made of skulls and dim lightning create a chilling and haunting atmosphere. A humbling reminder of our own mortality. Wanted to visit the place ever since I have seen it on the pictures over 30 years ago.

Small and nice town a bit away from Prague. Better to go with car. Parking is available. Couple of churches and the famous bone museum. Bones are real by the way 😫
Shahriyar Shirinov — Google review
Worth a 1 hour trip on train from Prague. Train was late like 20 min, so pay attention. Once you're in Sedlec it's an easy 15 min walk to the church. Tickets are not sold there, you have to go back about 200m and buy it in info building. The amount of bones and skulls will send chills on your spine.
Alexander Paulavec — Google review
One of a kind place in the world, I must say.
Just amazing. Made out of human bones and skulls, this ossuary is a remarkable place to visit.
Remember, they do not allow photography inside now as stupid people have abused it as some kind of a haunted place on a social media.
You can either visit it first before entering the town or plan it at the end of the trip.
Rushikesh — Google review
The ossuary is a small basement, can be seen in 10 to 15 minutes. Nevertheless, the trip is worth it. The cemetery has a lot of interesting information too, and the Mary’s Ascension Cathedral is very close. Good visit spot.

Had to buy the tickets at the info centrum 150 meters away. We weren't allowed to take pictures in the chapel. I was able to take pictures upstairs tho. But besides that I recommend visiting, it is beautiful and scary at the same time.
Lovana — Google review
This is worth the trip from Prague. Very easy to get to by train! Make sure you buy your tickets from the information centre before heading up to the church as they don’t sell tickets at the church.
Although the church is full of bones it is not “creepy” in anyway but instead quite spiritual. There is no photography allowed.
There are guides you can hire from the town to give you a tour however the audio guide you can get inside the church along with the pamphlet is all you really need!
There are souvenirs at both the I go centre and in the church at reasonable prices and helps keep the church “alive” as they get no other funding!
The lady at the info center is super helpful!

Andres Infantas (King Fuego) — Google review
My first recommendation is to buy a digital combination ticket online before you travel. The ticket is valid for up to a year, so you don't have to pick a date. They don't sell tickets at the ossuary, so if you have a digital ticket with you, you can just scan and go and don't have to make your way to the visitor centre 150 meters away.
If you like ossuaries, you'll love this one. It's definitely macabre, but so beautiful! Bones and skulls have been arranged into intricate sculptures and decorations, it's stunning to look at!
It's a rather small church, but if this kind of thing interests you, you'll have plenty to look at. It's currently under renovation, so parts of the church are blocked off with scaffolding and tarps, but it's still a stunning place to visit.
Very close to other sights in Kutna Hora, so absolutely worth the trip down.

You are not allowed to take pictures inside. You have to buy entrance tickets either online, or around the corner from up the street there is a store that sells entry tickets. A standard ticket gets you entry into sedlec ossuary and a church around the corner from where you buy entrance tickets from. Highly recommend going to that church as well.. the paintings are stunning.

This place has its own unique way to show you the darkness. I did remove one star, for the considerably over priced ticket for this small place. I removed another one, the place was even smaller due to construction, the cost is covered from the tickets currently sold. Additionally, a very short version of history is shared for the visitor.

I've visited twice over the past year and it's an impressive sight and quite a unique place. Note that taking photos is no longer allowed.
The place is under renovation as they are cleaning/restoring some of the bone piles and there are support ls to keep the church safe.
In the season it can be really busy as busses full of tourists can be dropped in regular intervals. Buying the ticket online makes it easier to get it, and not wait at the ticket office, which is down the street.
Bart Planting — Google review
Not worth the admission. The actual place is very small and lacked information. Can finish the visit in 5 minutes but takes over an hour to get here from Prague.
Also, photos are prohibited but no one enforces it. Just don't be obvious.
14th-century fortress with tours of armory & torture chamber, plus a medieval-style restaurant.
There are wonderful trails surrounding the castle that offer great opportunities for exploring and photos. The castle offers tours, performances and displays on medieval times. There is a gift shop and restaurant on site so you can shop or eat while you wait for a tour or after you complete your tour. Parking is available for a small fee just below the castle.

Parking was difficult and the police were giving tickets if you park along the road. The fortress was beautiful but you could only visit with a tour ranging 40 min to 110 minutes. Sadly all the coming tours were in Czech language. So all we could do was walk around it.

It's a really nice castle. Unfortunately, all tours were in Czechish, but there was good written material in English following the tour. The only way to see the inside of the castle is to take a tour.
It was interesting to get the Swedish involvement in the thirty-year war described from the other side.
The castle restaurant was rustic but the food was really good.

Very scenic and popular castle in the heart of Czech Paradise.
If you drive in earlier in the morning, you can face issues with securing a parking spot nearby. There's also an alternative (safer) option to leave the car on some free spot few kms down the forest hiking trail and take an easy walk to the castle.
I arrived just before the tours started and there was a surprising amount of people already waiting to enter (> 100). Because the castle's name is "Kost", which can be translated as a "bone", the castle very dog-friendly.
There is also a restaurant, several Czech fast food kiosks and an outside grill specialties venue in the back, but I found the servings small and quite overpriced. They also draft a locally brewed beer.
Nice place to visit for an hour or two if you happen to be around. However, I wouldn't come here from a far away.

Nice view from the castle especially on "Plakankovo udoli,,. There's good amount of tours, one is special - tour with princess which I think would be good with kids. Me with my family really enjoyed it.
Relaxed accommodations in a restored hotel with a low-key restaurant, a spa & a rustic tavern.
Excellent experience at this beautiful, well-located hotel. Booked an economy room and received an upgraded room with a complementary bottle of wine. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Lunch and dinner were very good and the breakfast buffet was exceptional -- the best we saw after a couple weeks of travel through the Czech Republic.

We booked 3 nights at the hotel in August 2023. We booked a room with a view but got a free upgrade for the bridal suite, without even asking for it! Obviously, this was a happy surprise.The castle itself is beautiful and the views from both the room and the courtyard, were stunning. Our room was decorated with furniture that fits the castle's historical entourage, which made it extra special! The area around the castle is perfect for hiking and any sorts of outdoor activities. The restaurant is of decent quality, although we also found some good restaurants in the town nearby. We did notice some cobwebs and dust in different corners and corridors, but weren't bothered by it. If anything, it added to the feeling of living in a romantic, centuries old castle.

Updated review:
Another wonderful magical stay! Coming back 5 years after we had our wedding here and with our son, I was worried it would not live up to my memories, but it exceeded them! The whole surrounding area is seriously enchanting with extraordinary nature walks, easy and unbelievably beautiful. The views cannot be matched, and the spa balcony is unreal! The staff of the hotel went above and beyond even with our more unusual requests. They upgraded us to the wedding suite which made our entire stay and allowed us to relive our best memories. The food is super tasty, the rooms and hotel are a little outdated, but have such magical character that it can totally be overlooked (especially for such a decent price).
Still a hidden gem with mostly Czech tourists so feels super authentic
As a modern princess with a romantic adventurous character, but without a princess's budget, I will say this is the ideal place and we will definitely be coming back as soon as possible.
Wonderful castle in gorgeous surroundings. Our wedding there was perfect! For the ceremony, meals, party and as a hotel. All our guests loved it and the staff went out of their way for us... Despite the rain and some logistical difficulties it was absolutely magical!

Haven't been to the wellness, but I love the restaurant!
Jana Mulacova — Google review
A beautifully situated castle with an integrated hotel. Unfortunately, however, it can only be recommended to a limited extent. "Wellness" & **** stars are listed somewhere, but I wonder how this is to be understood. Absolutely friendly staff, no question. However, this does not console over the fact that, for example, broken lamps were hanging from the ceiling in our room, there were no blackout curtains at all (although explicitly listed on the homepage) and the "wellness" theme was certainly not related to the atmosphere at breakfast. The fact that the door to the buffet is closed in the middle of breakfast time or, even better, that the caretaker ?? is drilling and screwing skirting boards on the floor between the tables occupied by guests with a cordless drill, has nothing to do with "wellness" and "holiday" in my opinion. It's a pity, because the building itself and the staff would be able to guarantee a dream holiday here.

The little imperfections that the other reviewers write of only add to the character of the place. Staying there was an experience we will never forget. The restaurant, bizarrely only has 3.5 stars rating, whereas for is it was the best and cheapest meal we've had while hiking the cesky raj, served by the most friendliest servers we've encountered.

This was THE BEST EXPERIENCE!
By chance we hiked past the castle, which is a hotel and went in to ask if they had a room available. YES, and at a very affordable price. The room was beautiful with an amazing view. The restaurant is very good, although it could do with some more options for vegetarians. The staff is exceptionally friendly and even those who struggle with English try their best to make your experience memorable.
I felt like a princess!
Nature area famous for its sandstone spires, with wooded hiking paths passing between the rocks.
It's definitely worth seeing. It's about 1.5h from Prague. You can choose a route which will be the best for you and admire the beauty of nature. I recommend to go there in the morning to avoid tourists. Rock structures are impressive and the views are awesome. You can rest on the beaches on the route or at the observation deck. Some stairs are small and steep, so you have to be careful. Fortunately, there are handrails at the stairs

Definitely worth visiting. Not challenging, you can connect with nature and have a peaceful time around these amazing rocks and forests. Great views.

One of the most outstanding rock areas in the Czech Republic. Simply stunning and absolutely a must visit when you happen to be near by. The 3.5 km walk (green sign) takes you to all the beautiful lookouts and has some nice easy climbing and steep stairs. We have been here in winter and there were only few people. But I think in summer the place is a lot more crowded.

Very beautiful, make sure you follow a route that follows the sightseeing points marked with a red star on the map (see foto), which I recommend and costs 30 czk. I asked a information lady to draw a nice route and it was stunning. You can have gluten free dinner here, make sure to get cash for that specifically, all other things you can do by card (tickets ed).
We took the red route from start to U1 and then took the green one back to T1 parking (main entrance). De did it in about 4 hours with breaks and detours.

It is an interesting place for a small hike.
It's what You can see in the pictures, big rocks sticking from the ground. There are few places where You'll have to squezze through narrow passages and the main problem is that if You're unlucky You'll have to wait for a long time for all the people from the other side to pass.
There is no system, and people can go both ways and they just keep on coming.
Parking/toilet is paid. Lots of people on nice weather weekend.

Amazing rock formations! We took the green route. It's about 3.5 km. This took us about 1.5 hours. It was well worth it and highly recommended.
Simon Otter — Google review
Lovely, well maintained natural preserve with excellently marked hiking paths. Green one will take you on a larger circle (count with about two hours and plenty of steep ascents). Outside of the tourist season the entrance and parking is for free and amount of people is very low, making it ideal for a calming hike. Some of the rock slits are less than 60 cm wide and there are a lot of steps on the path, so make sure your knees can take it and you won't get stuck anywheres. Plenty of viewing points on the track providing breathtaking view of the rock maze. Make sure not to step outside of the beaten track - it is illegal and can be dangerous.

Absolutely amazing!! It's possible to reach by bus and a long uphill trek (which is how we got there) but much easier by car. There is so much more there than we expected. Lots of paths and steps to reach numerous look out points. A reasonable level of fitness recommended to take in the full experience.

Fantastic place to visit! In mu opinion much better than Adrspach but cheaper and closer to Prague.

Very nice (and not very popular) place to visit. If you like mountains, and do not like crowd, this is something for you. We were hiking with 4 years old child, some places can be difficult for so small kid. But if we handled it, you also can do it. We definitely need to come back here.

Absolutely beautiful. Keeps on surprising with nice views, slightly challenging stairs and is both a workout and nature experience in one. In my opinion a must see.
Erik Wouda — Google review
Amazing scenery!!
We mainly took the green route and a small part yellow on the end, which covers all wonderful viewpoints. A route map can be found at the start of the trail.
The route brings you through some steep climbs by stairs, some amazing viewpoints over the rock formations, and beautiful walks through the forest and some narrow (shoulder-width) passages through split rocks.
This full route will take you about 2 to 2,5 hours including stops to admire the scenery, take pictures, and have a small break.
Parking costs you 100Kc (€4) if you park in the designated parking area. A parking assistant wil put you to a halt on the main road and collect the parking fee.
The entrance fee to the rock area is 120Kc per adult, and will be collected at a small stand near the main walking route.
Be aware that both fees must be paid in cash.
If you are visiting Czech, this is a must-see!
This place is fenomenal! Tons of detail, amazing woodwork. The Hell tour is very nice, at a level of a Disneyland attraction.
The main apartment of the hotel is the best I've ever stayd in. The level of craftmanship is incredible. Looks like a pirats sailboat. The bathroom with the wooden tub is amazing, the kitchen with all the appliences and the cauldron is like a dream kitchen.
The master bedroom is too comfy abd warm. The livingroom with the rookingchair is the cherry on top.
The decor with old books and papirus, and the functionality is way too smart.
Couldn't recoommend more!

Perfect for family retreats. The hotel Kocourkov features themed rooms which are a lot of fun for all ages. There is an attached patio and children can have fun in either outdoor or indoor playgrounds. Additionally there is a nature walk with fun elements in the forest. The restaurant Peklo (hell), is a themed restaurant featuring a show in the themed space bellow the restaurant. This is often connected to buffe styled dinner with plenty of choices. Great fun for all ages.
Also this fall (2023) they will be opening a themed spa.

Absolutely amazing experience! Me and my British husband got picked on by the handsome devils, which made it all the more fun. Then again we have a good sense of humour. Everything is well thought out, the decor is amazing and the actors are just fantastic.
The only slight let down is the service in the restaurant, the food was very good, again the decor fantastic but the service wasn’t in line with the prices. Overall I give 5 stars because it was a great day out and we will probably be back. Thank you.

There are two aspects to this place. First is the fun of having the demon actors making fun of the visitors by throwing insults left and right. If you like that type of humour, this is a good place for that, but it was not our type of fun. However, to each their own. We could look past it if not for the second part, which was was the obvious intent of the owner to engineer revenue from every visitor by forcing you into places where they can present their coffee and then ending the tour in the cafe where you are coaxed into buying a drink. And this is only one example of the approach shown through the whole experience. After the effort made by the tour guides/actors/demons it really cheapens the experience and makes the whole thing a disappointment. The place is full of interesting things and many opportunities for someone to spend money of their free will if presented in a non manipulative or non assuming way. It really is too bad. To top it off, the first person you come in contact with (the one running the reception/register) was arrogant and rude. Overall great idea with truly poor execution of a customer experience.

Impressive build that’s extremely overpriced. Not worth the price of admission for the tour.
Ondrej Stastny — Google review
An immense amount of resources, great talent and work went into building out a principally soulless and fruitless idea. In 50 years it won't exist. As is typical with commercial art, the mix of standout ideas with most common denominator just doesn't work. It's hard to tell what the target audience is, aside from families with children. For those, I recommend going to a kids theatre or an aquapark, really for the price there are much better options. It's not so bad that you will leave the place unhappy, but it all rests on the (rather understandably short) talent of the improv actors and my heart goes out to them, I imagine at times it must be hard to do this, especially the parts where the movie is advertised. I imagine that if the owners listen to their actors that over time the experience could improve, but having dealt with czech businessmen and pseudo-oligarchs I doubt they will listen to anyone. I empathise with them too, craft work is immensely expensive nowadays, quality's craftsmanship doubly so. I thought about how much it must have cost to build the attraction, and if one takes into account the hourly payment of the actors, I understand why the menu prices are so high. That being said, it wasn't worth it for me or anyone else, and the people praising the attraction do so out of the sunk cost fallacy
The themes of the attraction are all over the place, hard to tell sometimes if it's set in hell or on a pirate ship, if the Christian overtones are serious or making fun of religion. If they're trying to sell you on the theme, the movie, their coffee or wine. The souvenir shop is full of junk too. Overall I went with low expectations and came out disappointed

There is also delicious chocolate/cafe BAJER very nearby to the tower bottom.
The tallest landmark in the city, this 1574 clock tower offers scenic views of distant mountains.
Modern interior of the tower made the climb up the stairs really enjoyable. The view from the top was quite spectacular. Definitely a thing to do in Hradec Kralove.

As one of our daily trips from Prague, Hradec Kralove surprised us in a good and bad way. We really enjoyed the visit at White Tower. It was no wait for a ticket, employees were really friendly and the whole experience was elevating. I made wonderful pictures yet tried to avoid the parking lot. Here comes the bad news. I really don't understand why the square and the street before and around the most beautiful sites in the center are filled WITH CARS!?! Please just find them another place in the city. The square is really beautiful and unfortunately uglified with cars. If it's a market like any other Czech town, especially around the main statue in front of the Cathedral, it would be much more appealing and beautiful. Someone must write a letter to the mayor (with a petition from the residents) because this is nonsense!

I have been coming to Hradec Kralove for years for business and never had a chance to visit this tower partly because it was under renovation for quite some time.
The tower is in the middle of the 11th century town square. It was lovingly and expertly restored into a worthy attraction.
The view at the top is breathtaking, you can see the town of Hradec Kralove and surrounding areas laid out beautifully in a 360-degree panorama. On the way up the tower you will see th the bell and the cleverly restored platforms, a lot of thoughts went into the design of this place. A thoroughly enjoyable visit.

A view tower directly in the historic center of Hradec Kralove. Payment needed to access it, but worth of it - the view from the top is beautiful. Only thing spoiling it is the fact that for whatever reason the main square below is filled with parked cars.

Beautiful tower after great reconstruction, beautiful view - and you can even book sunrise and night tours. There are interactive boards inside the tower with information about the culture in the city and its history, tasks and puzzles, and also a beautiful glass model of the tower. Lots of stairs there, including newly built "flying" construction (so if you hate to see under your feet, keep this in mind), pretty steep but safe.

Bílá věž was recently restored and is worth visiting not just for the views of the city from the conservation deck, but as a demonstration of beautiful contemporary "small architecture" - the staircase and the railings are very chic.
The dramatic lighting and moody music may be a little campy, but why not. There is also a light installation of the model of the tower and multimedia panels with historical information.

Not expensive at all to go up in the tower, and very much worth the view! It's just beautiful at the top.
There are many stairs to the top and no lift to assist you, but it's a good climb if you are able! There are things to read and see on the way up and down as well. So you learn a little history while you're there.
Comming down was a bit challenging for my fear of heights, since you can see through parts of the stairs and see a long way down haha. Enjoy!

Picturesque cascade of water in a mountain environment, with a nearby hostel & hiking trails.
A beautiful waterfall, with nice scenery. To get to the waterfall, you have to purchase a ticket (fair price of 10zloty per adult, can pay by card) and wait a line, as you are allowed to go down to the waterfall only with a helmet (so you have to wait until people come back and give you the helmet). Worth the wait!
Jaroslav Mida — Google review
The walk up from the street parking was refreshing, although the last bit had quite an incline and required some stamina to conquer given it was trudging through snow and some ice, raczki highly recommended. The visit to the waterfall was a little adventure, what with the winding stairs descending into the gorge, the clear water in the creek at the bottom and the viewing platform at the end with the waterfall burbling enthousiastically the highlights of my visit. We had a tasty kielbaska and mulled wine at the schronisko next to the waterfall entrance, warming, good times. On the way back I sincerely wished for a sled or raczki, but all in all a satisfying and succesful visit.
Rutger van der Linden — Google review
A very nice waterfall, definitely worth a visit. Although the road is mostly uphill and very stony - very demanding, impossible with a stroller or bike, almost impossible for little kids.
Parking is paid but the machines accept cards.
At the water, there is a queue, you go down the stairs, with the obligation to wear a helmet which you get after paying for entrance - 12/6 zlotys.
A little higher on the hill there are food stalls and even some restaurants.
The place is overall very crowded.

Admirable waterfall! Located at the impressive gorge. If you make it in the morning you wont stay in the queue or be surrounded by plenty of other tourists. At the entrance you should wait to get a helmet for your safety. In the day place could be very crowded, especially at the weekends. Make sure you have comfortable trekking shoes. Also at the top there is small cafe and bus shuttle which could take you to the car parkings.

The road up is in very bad shape. At the beginning damaged by heavy machinery (sad look how the forest is getting wrecked). Waterfall itself is very nice..very short walk down to a viewpoint.

Nice waterfall in the middle of a forest. The way up is challenging and if you have kids you most likely going to carry them. The road is made of stones and every step is like a stair. In the other side it’s not that far from the main parking place etc 2km. 🚶🏻♂️
Little bistro at the top and paid entrance to the waterfall valley with helmets ⛑️
The way seems to continue further to the forest. Usually very crowded area

It's a really lovely place and worth a visit if you're around. But be aware that it's an absolute tourist spot and you need to pay entrance fees.
Dvůr Králové Zoo is a spacious open-air zoo in Africa that helps to preserve rhinos and other African species through a breeding program. It is known as one of the best zoos due to its amazing safari and lovely atmosphere, although some visitors have suggested better food options would be appreciated. Additionally, stricter checks on covid measures are needed as people don't always wear masks inside restaurants or shops.
Not the largest, not having the most animals, but still very unique, having the style and and features I absolutely love:
- made by real designers/architects. From fonts, drawings, buildings, etc.
- it feels REAL as oppose to plastic/fake models one see so much in every other place. Real artifacts, little locomotive, building, wind water pump….feeling of each place
- it was very crowded at the beginning of July, even in the still-covid times
- food - besides junk-food (still eco-friendly) people just ask for, we found places fith very nice, tasty and REAL food, e.g. salmon steak, smoked tomatoes, marinated olives, …
- car safari is interesting, clean organizes, NICE, but don’t expect to much (eg lions are mostly sleeping, animals might be hidden). Some parts feels like in Jurassic park :)
- very well organized, clean, nice and all feels new

The zoo and safari is a very good place for spending time with kids so they can see lots of animals. The animals are definitely taken care of, the facilities look maintained and kids’ petting zoo is a cherry on top of a pie. Tickets can be purchased online as a QR code, which provides really fast entry. The drawback is that you cannot buy tickets online for the safari rides and people have bought all seats for the day before noon, as we arrived shortly after that. The safari can then be entered by your own car, which is good, but not really sure if it’s the best for the animals. All in all the visit to this zoo is a time spent well.
Ji?? ?Jerry? Havl??ek — Google review
One of the famous zoos in Czechia. I do recommend buying the safari entry as you will witness the animals from within the reach of your hands. Don't pet them though! Lions area is really the best, but sometimes you need to wait in a line of cars as only 3 are allowed to enter at the same time (for obvious reasons). The security measures are impressive and I almost felt like in Jurassic park, the movie.
I really liked the "Madagascar and tropical world" exposition. Felt almost real. But above all the safari tour was the best.
A small hint: download the application beforehand on the phone plugged to car audio. Yes, there is an app with voiceover about the safari areas and even the animals.

A very beautiful zoo, I always am happy to come back. It's quite big, so walking trough the whole zoo can be a bit tiring, but worth it. It is popular, so expect long queues everywhere. As it gets colder, the animals move in the pavillions, so those small building are crowded. I would recommend visiting not long after the zoo opens in the morning.

Very good experience at the zoo! Well priced comparing to other similar places in western europe. Super kind staff. Free parking in front of the zoo (watch out for scam parking lots trying to charge you). Food at the food courts is not good, but i guess it is typical for similar places. Animals at the zoo are well maintained and do have large enclosures. You need around 4 h to see all attractions at the zoo. On top of it safari ride is > 30 min. I suggest driving your own car instead of taking safari bus or afrika bus. This way you get a chance to stop by animals for longer while.

Popular hiking spot on the border of Poland & the Czech Republic, the highest peak in the latter.
Hiked up the mountain during winter in December and despite it being an easy hike, it was difficult as some of the steep paths were covered in ice and snow making it super slippery. The tower at the top resembles an alien spaceship and there is a bar at the top too.

Amazing views from the top over both Poland and Czech Republic. A number of routes to the top, some of which are pretty challenging, or you can take the cable car from either Polish or Czech side. Limited facilities at the top, with a small post office selling drinks and snacks and a cafe in the cable car station.
James Smith — Google review
If you want to reach the top from the Polish side, it's recommended to wear proper shoes since the fastest trail has a steep slope. I saw many people hiking with gym shoes but personally I recommend to wear hiking shoes to reduce the risk of slipping or take a twist.
There is also a different way to reach the top which is less tiring but longer in terms of time.
Take your own food and water with you since there is no chance to buy them on the top of the mountain (there is a Czech Post Office!).

I had such a great time climbing this mountain, it's a long way to go and definitely hard to get up, but the feeling of success and exploration you get when you reach the top is well worth it, however this is not a hike for people that are afraid of heights.

With its 1603.3 m above sea level, Sněžka is the highest mountain in the Krkonoše, Sudetenland, Silesia, Bohemia and the whole of the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, since the peak of Sněžka lies in Poland, the highest peak in the Czech Republic is Luční hora. Many hundreds of tourists come here every day. You can get to the top by walking route there and back, which is a trip with children for the whole day. It is also possible to use the cable car, which is two-stage, but unfortunately there is no guarantee that it will be in operation every day. What happened to me too. The walk up the hill was breathtaking and from the early morning I walked through the levels of the cloud. Around noon, the clouds parted and the sun came out, which meant the most amazing view of all time.

The town at the bottom is very cute and worth lunch or dinner.

I recommend this climbing, nice views, places for the rest.
I really like the smell of fresh air here and it is the place where you could get moral rest.
Hiking not hard, the half way could be cut by lift.
Near the climb itself, there is a shelter where you can have a snack, drink a beer or just rest before the climb
Unfortunately, this time the fog and the strong wind caught me and there was a very mystical atmosphere

We parked our car in Pec pod Snezkou and took a cable way from there to Ruzova Hora (cca 1300 m) station. Two direction ticket is about 13 EUR. From Ruzova Hora you can easily hike / walk to the top of the Snežka (cca 1600 m). You will need about hour and a half to the top, maybe even less since the trail is easy even for kids, dogs, older people. In the July, temp on the top was 8 C and the wind was 70 km/h so take a good clothes. And when we climbed to the top, we were in the clouds and big strong fog, so we couldn’t see nothing. View is usually good but not for us that time. So watch out for the weather if you wanna enjoy the sight view from the top. There is restaurant on the top so you can seat there for a drink or food.
12th-century church, constructed similarly to Viking longships & moved to this site in 1842.
Historical landmark worth visiting, the square holds a few things to look at and the church is worth visiting inside where a tour is given and information about its origin. It is not free and it costs 2 PLN to walk around the square alone or 10 PLN to also enter the church. The tickets can be bought at the shop near the gate entrance.

Beautiful church located next to Karkonoski nation park. This church was moved from Norway and re-erected in 1842. The entrance price is pretty cheap and will give you access to the church grounds and short audio history. Worth the visit.

The best Norse church you can see in Poland! Formerly a church in Norway from early middle ages moved to Karpacz and built again in 19th century. The area is very nice, although packed with tourists and entrance to church is paid. However the adjacent cemetery is really nice and the sights from the hill to the valley and mountains too. A must see when visiting Karpacz.

Very nice old wooden church, originally from 12th century Norway, transplanted to Poland, lovely old details remain, cozy ambiance, comfortable place for quiet reflection. The grounds offer a little bit more to see and ponder, one or two memorials, an old graveyard and an excellent panoramic view. Good visit.
I really loved the park, it is really nice to visit at this time of the year! But anytime really. I did not visit the inside of the castle but I heard its worth visiting

Great place to visit. Nice tour with a tour guide. Although a shame that foreign people (not Czech speaking) get only a shortened version of what is told by the tour guide.

Renaissance chateau build in 16th century. You can choose from 2 tours - the historical interiors and the armoury. Both are very interesting. The armoury has the second largest collection of historical weapons on Czech castles.
Nature reserve with a group of imposing sandstone rock formations for tours & rock climbers.
Absolutely worth visiting. The Rocks are beautiful and the paths are clearly marked and mostly easily accessible even for inexperienced visitors. You can use a paid parking nearby. There are some eateries, gift shops and a free WC at the entrance.
It will take you 15-30 min to go around the lake and 1-1.5h to go the main route (of course depends on your pace).

The feeling was like in a circus with clowns, crazy rules that prevent people from enjoying nature, half-witted grandfathers are running around everywhere and writing fines to people on plain paper, because they have become where they were not allowed 🤦♂️ the entrance has an unjustified price, for this money they do nothing there! If you climb out once a year from your apartment, then this option is for you, all you can do is walk along the path, where they allowed! Nature here 5/5

Nice Castle to visit. Building and surroundings are kept in very good state. It's possible to walk independently around most of the parts of this great Castle which is located on the top of the hill in the forest. Parking is located next to the castle, so you can drive uphill inside the walls of the object or you can park your car at the another parking in the middle of the hill.

This is the best castle we have ever seen! It is highly underrated and relatively unknown. We stumbled upon this place by chance and were unsure whether to visit or not. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we decided to go. The castle has a truly breathtaking effect and offers a unique experience. There were not many visitors, allowing us to explore all parts of the castle. We highly recommend visiting this hidden gem!'

The whole site was extremely immersive. There was medieval music at the main courtyard, local wooden statues scattered around, and the smell of the bonfire spreading from the central barbecue. All of this and more, gave me a vibe of authenticity, freedom and a real medieval experience!
I joined a guided tour (in Polish). The guide through his stories was spreading the excitement for the medieval history the way coronavirus spread around the world. Much greetings, the tour was great!
Overall, an absolutely amazing place, A true gem of Southern Poland.

Series of named rock formations that form a natural labyrinth in the Stołowe Mountains.
Fantastic scenery views and great day out there with the family. Very interesting walks in twin massive rocks..same tunnels was very hard to get through, due my weight. Very tidy, but was a challenge adventure. Not advice for small babies and if you have same extra weight or back pain.
The National Park could provide more portable toilets in 1 more spot, just after the rocks walking end.

Errant Rocks is located at 853 m above sea level and has an area of 21 hectares. The rocks are here about 6 to 11 meters high and you move here on your own like in real rocky labyrinth. I don’t recommend using here huge sport rucksacks as it may be difficult to move with them. The trail has a few hundred meters and sometimes the tourists have to squeeze through very small rock crevices so if you are too fat- the place is not for you. It is really amazing experience.

Good place to see the massive lanscapes can imagine how water melted rock and made this rock forest. When I got here snow was covering the crack of rocks and ice covered road. So i think it would be best when u go there in the spring
Joon Constantine — Google review
Truly beautiful place. It’s definitely worth visiting. The only disadvantage is if you are big chested/severely overweight/using a walking aid or large rucksack some parts of the trail are very narrow and can be difficult to pass from one end to the other. The ticket office at the beginning of the trip doesn’t provide any details of the difficulties you can come across on your trail path to Bledne Skaly. There had been a few people who had to turn back as they could not pass through some narrow passages.

This is a very interesting place and definitely worth the visit however the organisation of access is very messy. You need a ticket for a timed entry but you cannot be too early and too late and there is now where to wait so it becomes a logistical nightmare. Not ready for the crowds that want to visit it. Go off-season if you can.

Szczeliniec Wielki, located in the Table Mountains, offers a thrilling hiking experience with its intricate rock formations and well-maintained trails. The peak provides breathtaking views and is accessible to hikers of varying fitness levels. Visitors can explore the labyrinthine Skalne Grzyby or Bledne Skaly formations and enjoy the stunning scenery from various viewpoints along the way.
Highly recommended to visit here with kids. Tickets can be booked online to avoid the queue. Preferred on Weekdays if it is summer.

Paweł — Google review
If you’re looking for a super good hike and an incredible view from the highest point of the Table Mountains, Szczeliniec is the place to go. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting this intense of a hike when my friend’s grandmother took us on a visit to Poland (but, to be fair, I’m also pretty out of shape). Within the first five minutes, I thought I was dying and the remaining hike up to the peak was a blur.
Once you recover physically, and scrape up the last remains of your dignity after having a 70+ year old who climbs this trail once a week he’ll drag you up the last 100 or so metres, the view is 100% worthwhile. You overlook the Czech Republic, and Stołowe National Park. There’s also a little chalet up there, where you can grab a drink and snack before making the (much, much easier) descent back to the base.

Książ Castle, the largest castle in Lower Silesia, is a grand chateau-style complex situated on a hill overlooking the river Pelcznica and part of the Waldenberg mountains. Originally built in 1288 and expanded in the 16th century, it showcases Gothic, Baroque, and Rococo architectural styles. The castle offers guided tours with informative audioguides that seamlessly lead visitors through its rich history and art gallery.
This is a lovely castle, with a lot of history. Much of the interiors are unadorned compared to what they were, but the setting is stunning. It feels like stepping back in time, especially in the fall. There are paths to walk the grounds and access from the road is simple and scenic.
Radek Kolecki — Google review
This is a beautiful castle with a lot of history. When you go in and purchase the ticket they give you several options one with the tour of the Underground included and I would recommend going that route as the tour underground is also very good. They will give you an audio guide that will walk you through the whole castle and give you the history and events that transpired through the years. The tour takes about the proximately 2 hours to complete with the audio guide and I like the way they set up their audio guide as you can skip ahead to something that interests you a little bit more which is a nice touch. The audio guide is location based. There is so much to see here and what I especially liked was the turn of the century pictures of everyday life. Some of the places in have amazing views of the surrounding Countryside and of the Immaculate Gardens. The gardens around the castle are just beautiful unfortunately the day I was there it was raining.

Very much intrigued by the family history and a lot of information is provided. We spent hours, so make sure to have enough time if you want to visit other sights as well. Also with the underground tour, we didn't feel left out with the audioguide. All in all a very fun, informative day. Definitely worth a visit!

Castle Ksiaz... there are a lot of things which I can write here about this castle. But surely it is just impossible to tell all interesting things about this castle here.... it is much better to open Wiki or other sources and read, there is a lot of interesting information including medieval history, Hitler's "golden trains" and many others. Or you must come, take an audio guide (included into entrance fee) and see & listen.... there are a lot of very interesting stories, there are many unsolved secrets even now. Enjoy the castle, the subterranean, the magical terraces...

Ksiaz Castle in Poland is an awe-inspiring gem! The castle's rich history, stunning architecture, and breathtaking views make it an unforgettable experience.

A must-visit destination!

The price of the ticket is worth paying. Huge area to see. They gave an audio guide that automatically switches while you changing different halls. The audio guide is available in a few foreign languages. Parking is overpriced: next to Castle the price is 30 pln, further - 20 pln. And when you enter the castle there is a toilet with an entrance fee - 5 pln, which in my humble opinion should be included in the price of the ticket. Overall it is a great place to spend a day with a family or loved ones.

This is a unique and interesting castle, a must visit - but stay away during public holidays. I had a misfortune to visit during May holidays - and was extremely disappointed.

We just visited the castle from outside as we didn't have enough time to go for a tour. There's an individual or combined ticket for castle, palm house and the undergrounds. Car parking is not free after the security guard, unless you're visiting the castle hotel. You can park it in the open parking space before the security guard for free. There is an ice cream shop near the castle which is a necessity in hot summers. Not sure if there's any restaurant though. There's a small vertical sprinkler through which you can go to refresh yourself in hot weather. You can visit Viewpoint too, which is a small walk type trek for 15 minutes. There's a fresh corn stick seller, each for 8 PLN. You can bring park stuff (mats, food, play items etc) also for relaxation. There are a lot of gardens and you can sit anywhere. The place is definitely worth a day trip.

I enjoyed this place a lot. Very good destination to spend your weekend. Picturesque hiking routes of different difficulty level, underground tunnels of the third reich. I didn't enjoyed a lot the castle interiors, but from the outside it's probably the most beautiful castle I've ever seen. At the moment they have a very interesting photo exebition of the last chef. And nice cafe inside the castle (unfortunately you can visit it only when you are visiting the castle interiors, when we wanted to have a coffee there the next day after excursion, we were told that we should by ticket to the castle)

A self-paced tour of the castle was amazing! I was lucky to visit right before the Christmas decorations were going to be taken down, so it was twice the awe and pleasure.
Everything is so nicely organised, with the cheerful staff meeting you at the ticket desk, and then - second surpise with the Polish museums on this trip - a cloakroom employee kindly offering me a Ukrainian audio guide. Great thanks to the Castle team!
The exhibitions are a wonderful combination of the family history of the castle owners, of the Polish and world history impacting Ksiąz and its residents, and some terrific works of art.
It is also very efficient to have a "smaller tour" and a "broader tour with the family stories", so that you can choose what to listen to, also in terms of time available.
I listen to everything and loved it.
I learned a lot about the underground of Ksiąz and visited the Palm Garden 5-min drive away from the Castle (included in the ticket), with a huge collection of plants.

We Visited Ksiaz Castle in Mid of May, a very enjoyable and memorable trip. It’s really a Beautiful Castle 🏰❤️
As, I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰 we don’t have such Castle so visiting this place for me was exceptional experience. 😊
Palmiarnia is a stunning greenhouse constructed in the early 1900s, showcasing a captivating assortment of bonsai trees, cacti, and bamboo. It evokes the ambiance of walking through a park in Hong Kong, with its remarkable flora and fauna. Visitors can explore an enchanting shop offering charming plants and miniature cacti. Additionally, there is a delightful coffee shop that caters to various dietary preferences and serves decaf options.
Such a beautiful place with a lot of beautiful plants, if you are plants lover, you can buy quite a lot of plants for very sensible prices, the lady who sells them is really friendly and will give you a lot of advice. You can park in front of the greenhouses, at weekends it is free of charge.

The Underground City Osówka is a fascinating tourist attraction located in the Ani plateau, characterized by hundreds of caves that have been carved out over time for various purposes such as dwellings, animal shelters, churches and pigeon houses. Among these caves are a network of tunnels and rooms built during WWII by Nazi slave workers, whose purpose remains unknown to this day. While the research on this underground city has been limited, visitors can explore it with a guide who shares stories about its history and significance.
An adventure and a mystery. We were guided for over an hour through the underground tunnels built to unknown purpose in the WWII. I enjoyed the stories told by our guide - clearly passionate about the topic.

Great experience, unfortunately it's impossible to buy tickets online and we had to wait for an hour for the next entry. But it was worth it :)

Another architectural marvel from the Nazis tucked in the vastness of Sowie Mountains in the Sudetes. The sheer brilliance and location of the underground location is a testimony to the fact that they were way ahead of the time. But the atrocities inflicted upon the enslaved people is way beyond our comprehension. Osówka is one of the complexes of project Riese initiated by Hitler during WWII. The location of the underground complex says it all, and there is no way you can even see it from a distance. It's amazing. Don't miss it when you are around

Very interesting place! Did both tours. The "special" tour is only in Polish and will take you through the flooded part of the tunnels. Its approximately 200m in the dark but you get a flashlight along. This is the only extra compared to the normal tour
The normal tour is with an audio-guide in English, French, German or Czech. Together with the guide you'll walk trough the illuminated tunnels. At every stop he tells something in Polish and as a non Polish person you can listen to the audio-guide.
Both tours take app. 50 minutes.
The guides speak a bit of English so you can ask them for some extra info.
After the tour is finished you can walk up the mountain to see the casino and the ruins. An intense but nice walk.

It's an amazing place to spend one hour, make sure you take a jacket and proper footwear. The audio guide comes at $1 and is a must if you don't speak polish.

Look, you've got to give credit to the work that is done here to enable people to visit these underground structures.
The place breathes history and learning (again) what these slave labourers had to endure can only bring tears to your heart. But seeing what they had to do with your own eyes, standing right there, makes it even harder. It is a must do when you are around, just to make the horrors of war slave labour more tangible. Something that we may not forget.
That being said, there are some elements that could improve. Though it seemed that the Polish guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a lot of detail, it is not the case for the English audioguide. Clearly, there was information lacking, stories that we've missed (even references to spiders living in the underground complex) and stories shortened. The movies displayed were well-translated, but the rest not so much. Other visitors with audioguides clearly had a similar experience as we were standing to up to 10mins just waiting around.
I would recommend visiting the halls below Ksiaz Castle for a better audioguide experience in English on the Riese project. However, the complex itself is more impressive at Osowka.
Maybe do both!

The local guides don't speak English, so definitely rent an audio guide. Tip: bring your own stereo headphones (normal mini jack).
Do combine it with Gross Rosen!

Great piece of history. Highly recommended for WWII lovers. Our tour guide - Daniel, showed great knowledge and passion. He only spoke polish. On that day they didn't have an english speaking tour guide, we called before and asked what options we have. My partner is british so that time he had to take headphones. Information given on headphones where briefed. We thought he missed a bit of interesting information, which I had to tell him later. We recommend to always have a guide. We chose "history tour" option, but there are few more to choose from. Overall we loved it

The place is spooky. It is quite cool to see the WW2 project. It is unfortunate that the poland tour guide does not speak english. I feel like he provided more information than the audio guide! I wish I knew polish!!!!
Beautiful church made entirely out of timber! No metal used, no stones, even the nails keeping the planks together are wooden. No wonder it is a UNESCO site. There is an entry fee, and for taking photos there is another fee, so please remember to bring some cash with you.

Very beautiful Church made out of Timber. It is definitely worth a visit to this beautiful Church. There is an entry fee that is very minimal but they do not provide any guides in English. You have to look at the pictures to see how beautiful this church is inside. When we were there there were people working on the church refinishing portions of the art. I'm glad that they are renovating the portions that need to be done and I want to be able to support this effort.

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt, a must-see! The incredible impression made by the interior of the church is even greater when we realize that it was built within a year... Currently, it looks slightly different than in the original design - some of it was added later, along with levels decorated with coats of arms. The levels with biblical scenes are original. It is currently undergoing renovation, but this does not in any way prevent you from admiring the beautiful paintings, pulpit or altar. Entrance is ticketed, and visitors are presented with the history of the temple through loudspeakers placed in the church. This is one of two Churches of Peace that we can see, so it really is a gem...

Bez wątpienia obiekt, który trzeba zobaczyć! Niesamowite wrażenie jakie robi wnętrze kościoła jest tym większe kiedy uświadamiamy sobie, że został wybudowany w ciągu roku... Obecnie wygląda nieco inaczej niż w pierwotnym założeniu - część została dobudowana w okresie późniejszym wraz z poziomami ozdobionymi herbami. Pierwotne są poziomy ze scenami biblijnymi. Obecnie trwa tam remont ale w żaden sposób nie przeszkadza to w podziwianiu pięknych malowideł, ambony czy ołtarza. Wejście jest biletowane, zwiedzającym prezentowana jest historia świątyni przez głośniki umieszczone w kościele. To jeden z dwóch Kościołów Pokoju jakie możemy obejrzeć, więc naprawdę to perełka...

Dog owners: you can bring your pup with you through the entire site, even inside! Very interesting site to visit, very good audioguide for non-Polish speakers. The inner courtyard is not accessible, because under construction, but you still get a good tour out of it. You have to hike up a hill 10-15mij to get there, but a guy with a golf cart can get you there if you have mobility issues.

This place is really amazing, I liked how well it was restored and views from this fortress are very nice. Guide was wearing authentic clothes and the most impressive thing during tour was shooting from a old gun.
Although what I didn't really like was that there were no translations to English language on any kind of place, maybe that's because this place isn't visited a lot by other nationality tourists?! I don't know... But as this fortress claims to be one of the biggest in Europe I think it should have quite a lot more translations.

The citadel was built in 12 years and it's the biggest of this kind in Europe. The musket shot done by a guide was really amazing! However a tour might be a bit longer.

Really nice place which is still growing. Hard climb on the way up but with small game which you may participate. This helps with the climb and provides some competition. You also need to be there when they fire the cannon. It is worth to wait for a guided tour as they also shoot an old weapon. It's all good and well but the single item missing is a good place to eat. Apart from that there is a lot to see a fire range, cannon and much more. Nice views.

Great place! Really interesting tour.
Downsides are reconstruction and lack of any info in English.
Europe's largest wooden religious venue, this ornate church has Baroque interiors, tours & services.
Very impressive! This is probably one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen.
The lady at the ticket desk is very friendly.
It's not possible to go upstairs and see the balconies, but also from the ground this church is incredibly beautiful.

Normally, I don't fancy visiting churches and cathedrals. It's true, they are typically the oldest and the most monumental buildings around. But having seen many of them you get the experience of "yet another one of those" kind.
This church is different.
One thing is it's history (why it was build in that place and with this technique). Another is a very different than usual aesthetics of the place. It is as impressive inside as it is outside. Then you have all the buildings around.
It is really the place to visit in Swidnica.

This church is absolutely stunning!!! It is the monument from the UNESCO World Heritage List, Monument of History, the largest wooden Baroque temple in Europe!!!, one of the seven new wonders of Poland according to "National Geographic". Lutheran community, was to build the church only outside the city walls, without towers and bell tower, only from perishable materials: wood, sand, straw and clay. It couldn't look like a church, and it couldn't have been built for more than a year. It was to be a very modest church that was not to stand the test of time. But it still lasts :))

It was closed on August 15th, but we just stopped by as we were passing through the same road from ksiaz castle to Wroclaw. The surrounding was open and we could get some idea about history of the church through the boards installed. The wood feels and smells really old. There's a cemetery right next to the church in the same compound. Couldn't give more details because we couldn't get inside.

Had no plans to visit here. Just followed Tourist Attraction signs we found on way to Wroclaw Airport.
Were disappointed to find we could only access the grounds. But then....local explained slowly we should wait a few minutes. Lucky we saw him as the guide arrived to open the church at 10AM.
Not bad for a mid-December visit!
Useful pamphlet in English helped, with the audio presentation.
Stunning, incredible 17th Century religious iconography.
To build something like this, from perishable materials (meant to last a short while only) and to have it still open and accessible today is a wonder.
Well worth UNESCO status and well worth visiting.

Amazing amazing amazing. Did I say that this was one of the most amazing churches in Europe. I am truly amazed by this place. When you walk in the door you will see a counter you have to pay an entrance fee to enter. They give you a piece of paper in your language. The guide they gave me was in English. Unfortunately I had a difficult time reading it as it was not very grammatically correct. Other than that it was just a wonderful place. I can honestly say that I've been to hundreds of churches in Europe in this ranks in the top 10 easily. One of the things that I liked is while you're in the church there are explanations of each different section of the church with descriptions of the passages and what the different paintings mean. The announcements are in different languages to include English which was a lot better than the guide. Please take a look at the pictures because this place is incredible. The grounds around the outside are also very unique and there's several cemeteries around the church itself. I highly highly recommend this church

The Church of Peace... a very large church that was built in the 17th century despite of many restrictions. The church is built of wood, clay, sand and straw. The decoration inside is something incredible
Thousands of tree & flower species fill this lush green space, known for its rhododendrons & lilies.
Great place to spend the day. Its an amazing location for all those who love trees and plants. They have lots of different types of tree and plant.
Ticket cost 25 for Normal, 15 for discount.
At the end of the Garden there are lots of cherry 🍒 tree. During the season it is possible to pick as much cherry possible and take them home.
Highly recommend for family picnic.

I was taken by friends and absolutely loved it. Too much to see to write it all here I highly recommend a full day!

Disabled and family toilet in the main 'square' mot far from the food area. Mixture if grades and levels of paths. I suspect a large area is accessible although uphill in places. No alarm that zi saw in the loo for disabled and families.
Toilets: near the main entrance and then earth or cabin closets elsewhere.
Food Area:
Barbecue, cafe/restaurants, pancakes, icecreams...plenty of seating areas.
Activities:
Children's play area, a range if seasons pus events.

The arboretum is a must go place to visit if you like the outdoors, there is something for everyone here! With its breathtaking views rich history and beautiful gardens to be explored this is a treasure trove for nature lovers and photographers alike. They also offer seasonal fruit picking unfortunately I was a little late for my own visit but its a lovely touch.
You will also find all sorts of birds and insects on your travels here. With there rich flower gardens, pathways through the tree's and water feature gardens.
If hiking isn't your thing they also have scope to hold great party's with there open roofed fire pits with covered seating creating a magical atmosphere to enjoy an open flame with friends with whilst in the stunning gardens!
But if cooking your own food on the flame isn't your thing and you don't want to bring sandwiches from home there is a beautiful restaurant in the main courtyard where you can order food and get refreshments from the bar.

A great place to visit to walk among beautiful flowers. But I am told May is the best time when they are in full bloom. You could easily spend half a day here. Bring some food if you want to cook over a barbecue. You can buy food but the queues are long. There's a fun game for children to collect stamps dotted around the place. But this is a place to relax and enjoy the sun. But that's where it's appeal ends, as not sure what you can do in any other type of weather.

The Arboretum Wojsławice is a stunning botanical garden that offers visitors a chance to explore a vast array of plants and flowers. In addition to the large themed gardens, the Arboretum also features a beautiful cherry garden that is sure to take your breath away. With its pathways, peaceful atmosphere, and stunning natural beauty, the Arboretum Wojsławice is the perfect place to relax and unwind amidst the cherry blossoms. There is a small exhibition of mineral rocks along one of its pathways.
One of the unique aspects of the Arboretum Wojsławice is that it is not a plain garden, but instead, it features rolling hills that add to its natural beauty. The undulating terrain creates a more dynamic and visually stunning landscape that visitors will surely appreciate. Whether you're exploring the themed gardens or admiring plants in the greenhouse, the Arboretum's hills provide a unique backdrop that enhances the overall experience of the garden. So visitors should be prepared for some uphill and downhill walking, but the effort is well worth it.
Another great feature of the Arboretum Wojsławice is the abundance of places to rest and relax throughout the garden. From benches to picnic areas, visitors can take a break and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The Arboretum Wojsławice truly has something for everyone to enjoy. My family and I had a wonderful time there.
