When it comes to tourist attractions, no town in Lower Silesia has as much to offer as Zlotoryja, other than perhaps Jelenia Gora with the nearby ranges of the Sudety Mountains.

Among this wealth of attractions in Zlotoryja there are as many as 300 historical monuments, some of which you simply have to see during your visit. These include the Smith’s Tower, the Church of St. Hedwig, the Church of the Birth of St. Mary, the Holy Cross Church with its post-Franciscan monastery, a pillar chapel, the 14th century fortification walls, the collection of historic houses in the Old Town Square, the Town Hall and last but not least the Dolphin Fountain from the 17th century.

In the Museum of Gold you will find the traditional mining tools and panning equipment, plus an outstanding collection of minerals from the area of Lower Silesia. The traditions of gold mining can be traced in the Aurelia gold mine and can still be experienced during the panning championships.

Separate mention should be made of Wilcza Gora overlooking the town, once a volcano and today a geological reserve. Here, in the deserted quarry, you can stroll into the heart of the volcano to investigate specimens of solidified basaltic lava and volcanic ash.
