Standing on the slopes of the river Nysa Klodzka, Klodzko manages to enchant at first sight. Owing to fortunate historical circumstances it is one of few Polish towns able to evade any serious damage.

Apart from numerous historical buildings and baroque and classical tenement houses, other places of interest to be found within the town include a powerful fortress; the town hall; the Parish Church of Our Lady; the Museum of Klodzko Land, and a stone bridge. This bridge is reputed to be the oldest in Poland, and no flood has ever managed to knock it down. No visit to Klodzko is complete without a guided tour through a fragment of the 44 km of subterranean mine passages, where skeletons and genuine instruments of torture add to the creepy atmosphere.

The town’s location is advantageous as a base for people wanting to hike in the mountains or spend time skiing on the beautiful slopes nearby. Close to Klodzko you can find lovely spas and health resorts, such as Polanica Zdroj, Duszniki Zdroj, Ladek Zdroj and Kudowa Zdroj, and also small towns like 900 year old Bardo, and Zloty Stok with its Underground Museum of Mining and Gold Metallurgy.
