Where is the Kłodzka Basin?
The Kłodzka Basin lies in the Central Sudetenland and is part of the historical land called the land of Kłodzko. These areas are very attractive in terms of tourism, which is due not only to the picturesque location in the midst of the mountains, but also to the rich history, in which variable territorial belonging was intertwined — these lands passed from hand to hand, lying not only within the borders of Poland, but also, at certain times, the Czech Republic and Prussia. The central city of the region is less than 100 kilometres away from Wrocław, which is one of the pillars of the tourist in the Kłodzko Valley.

Kłodzka Valley — tours with children
In the Kłodzko Valley and excursions with children can be successful! Where to go so that the younger and older have a good time? It is worth visiting the Miniatures Park Minieuroland in Kłodzko, where there are more than 40 models of the most important monuments from the area and famous buildings from around the world, including, for example, a mini copy of the leaning tower in Ząbkowice Śląskie, the reduced Statue of Liberty, or the Paris Arc de Triomphe.
An interesting proposal is also the Museum of the Earth — Geological Kletno, so when planning excursions in the Kłodzko Basin, it is worth including it on the list of places to visit. Here you can see, among other things, fossilized nests with dinosaur eggs, teeth and paw prints of these huge reptiles, or the largest fossil marine molluscs in the world. The Jurassic Park is also part of the museum, where dinosaur models were placed and shown what primordial people looked like.

The power of attractions awaits everyone, and extensive sightseeing options allow you to choose the route of the trip optimal for the age and cognitive capabilities of the child.
