Museum of Kłodzko Land in Kłodzko

The Kłodzko Fortress and Labyrinths
- Kłodzko
  One of the most interesting and characteristic monuments of Kłodzko is the Kłodzko Fortress, famous throughout Europe (the Forteczna Mountain 369 metres above sea level). Its origins date back to the tenth century and the period of formation of the city, which up to the seventeenth century was frequently reinforced. Starting from 1622, systematic militarization of the castle and conversion into a fortress was carried out by the Austrians, until 1742 when the city and the fortress fell under Prussian rule. It was then that by order of Frederick the Great, the fortress was expanded, at the same time removing all traces of the Renaissance castle, chapels and church. The walkways of the main Fortress have several levels and two ring roads, and their total length is 40 km, out of which approx. 1 km is open to the public The part of fortifications available to explore makes up only 10% of the defence facility which includes the underground labyrinths, mining corridors and a lapidarium. The underground passages, corridors, dungeons, and sidewalks date back to different eras, the oldest are the remains of medieval monastic cellars and Renaissance castle, but most casemates and sidewalks were built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The fortress offers a wonderful view over the city and its surroundings; with a good visibility from the bastion lookout you can admire Śnieżnik which is 40 km away, Szczeliniec Wielki and the mountains surrounding the Kłodzko Valley.

The Gothic Bridge of St. John in Kłodzko
- Kłodzko
  The gothic bridge is one of the most characteristic monuments of Kłodzko, connecting the Old Town with the part of the city known as Wyspa Piasek (the Sand Island). The beginning of its construction is dated differently - according to one source it was built in 1281, as evidenced by the date carved under the figure of Christ Crucified, which does not match the later record in the chronicle of George Promnitz. The bride of St. John, by the Młynówka channel, is commonly called the bridge of Veit Stoss and compared with the famous Charles Bridge in Prague. Over the centuries of its existence, the bridge was frequently strengthened and rebuilt, for example, during the Hussite wars (1428-1434), and restored (four times starting from the seventeenth century). In 1655 the first of the six votive figure funded by the burghers and nobles of Kłodzko was placed on the bridge, thus starting the period of decorating the bridge with Baroque statues. Currently, there are six of them: Pieta (Our Lady with the body of Christ), St. John, St. John of Nepomuk, St. Francis Xavier, Christ on the Cross, Holy Trinity and the Coronation of Our Lady.

The Parish Church of the Assumption of the BVM in Kłodzko
- Kłodzko
  One of the most important temples in the Kłodzko area and throughout the Sudetes, in terms of construction, as well as the wealth of the preserved interior. It is also one of the largest churches in the area. It is 62 metres long and 22 metres wide. Throughout the entire period of its existence the parish church passed from hand to hand, which it owes its uniqueness to. Construction of the church began in 1194, but the cornerstone wasn't placed until 1344 at the initiative of Arnost of Pardubice. In the sixteenth century, the north tower, called the Black Tower, was completed. The sixteenth century is considered the end of constructing churches in the Gothic style. Because of the long construction time it does not have a single style. Some elements of the church were built later - in the seventeenth century - the sacristy, chapels and galleries in the aisles.
  In the eighteenth century the interior was replaced and supplemented with the Baroque style in mind. Until the nineteenth century the church was surrounded by a cemetery, from which the only part left now is a late-baroque gate with figures of 3 saints, known as the Black Gate.

Errant Rocks Reserve in Karłów
- Karłów
  Outstanding landscape attraction - a unique rock maze covering the ridge of Skalniak (915 metres asl) carved in the Upper Cretaceous sandstones with the help of water and winds, using their unequal resistance to weathering. They can be found in the National Park of the Stołowe Mountains. You can get there from Kudowa Zdrój towards Karłów, or going along the red trail for approx. 2.5 hours. The created rock blocks on the surface of 21.14 hectares create several hundred metres of tourist route with unique charm, which when exploring, one has to often literally squeeze through the narrow gaps between the rocks. The height of corridors ranges from 6 to 8 m, the width is different - in some places it is only a few feet. Even during the rain, a significant part of the route is passed under rock umbrellas. We can find here beautiful, well-shaped forms of rock tables, towers, mushrooms, tunnels; many of which have their own names, for example "Rock Saddle", "Chicken Feet", "Labyrinth", "Tunnel", "Great Hall". This form of weathering has no equivalent in Poland. In the area of the Errant Rocks there is a viewpoint on the platform called "Rocky Bowls". You can see from there Szczeliniec Wielki, Szczeliniec Mały, Broumovska Vrchovina, the town of Machov, and with good visibility you can see the Giant Mountains. The natural reserve was established here in 1957. Going through the maze takes approx. 35 minutes.

  The highest peak of the Stołowe Mountains (919 metres asl) and at the same time the most attractive place. From afar, Szczeliniec Wielki looks like a massif with a vast, flat top and almost vertical slopes. In reality, the vast plateau is deeply cracked, quite much in its depth. Cracking sandstone shoals have formed a "rock city" comprising originally shaped rocks and cliffs, most of which have their own names such as "Mother Hen", "Mammoth" (also called "Apeman"), "Camel", "Princess Emilka's Head", "Elephant" and "Pulpit". An interesting part of the Great Szczeliniec is the so-called "Inferno" - a rocky crack about 100 m long and 20 m deep with a specific microclimate with a low temperature and high humidity. 680 stone steps lead to the top of Szczeliniec.

- Wambierzyce k/Radkowa

In the early years of the thirteenth century, blind John of Raszewo regained his sight praying in front of the statue of Mary with the Infant placed on a huge lime tree. News of the miraculous event spread very quickly. To facilitate the religious practices, a stone altar, a stoup and a candlestick were built at the foot of the tree with the figure (they are now kept in the cloister of the basilica). According to the great encyclopedia by Herder, 200 thousand pilgrims come annually to Wambierzyce.
  The present church was built between 1715 and 1720. Inside there is a very rich and valuable baroque decoration from the eighteenth century; among others, main and side altars, pulpit, paintings and statues. The consecration of the church occurred in 1720; in 1725 the sculptor Karol Sebastian Flaker made the main altar and the pulpit. In 1936, Pope Pius XI bestowed the church the title of Minor Basilica.

Crystal Glass Factory "Sudety" in Szczytna
- Szczytna
  The "Sudety" crystal glass factory has several hundred years of tradition, and its roots reach back to the old glass-making tradition. In 1770 a glass factory in Batorów was founded, called the "great-grandmother" of our factory, which gave origin to a number of projects related to the production and processing of crystal and soda glass. In 1771, crystal glass was produced for the first time in Batorów, and two years later sumptuous glass tableware was produced, especially wine glasses, cheering cups and beer mugs. These items were a real ornament thanks to the engraved decoration and gilding and silver plating. In 1827 the glass factory came into the possession of Major Leopold von Hochberg Martiza, who expanded the factory and enriched the design with Art Nouveau decoration. At this time, the glassworks produced a wide range of crystal products - blown, hand-pressed and automatically produced, and offered a rich assortment of sophisticated designs and at affordable prices. With its own design studio, designing products in various forms and a full range of cuts, the company realizes the boldest designs provided by customers, including a service for the English manor, tableware for transatlantic MS "St. Batory", engraved glasses for LOT Polish Airlines and decorative cups for diplomatic missions.
