Kłodzko, or the pearl of the Kłodzko Basin
Kłodzko is a city with more than a thousand years of history. It is located on the Polish-Czech border, through which a branch of the amber route ran years ago. To this day you can find in it the influence of the culture of our south-western neighbors. The original and complete layout of the medieval town, adapted to the hilly terrain, is still preserved. As a consequence, attractions in Kłodzko are divided by a large height difference, sometimes even 60 meters. However, it is in such nuances that the charm of the city called the pearl of the Kłodzko Basin lies. Narrow, stone streets running once up, once down, mysterious underground routes, historic buildings — there is definitely something to hang your eye on. Therefore, it is not surprising that tourists are happy to visit Kłodzko. The attractions it offers are truly amazing and stay in memory for a long time.

Later, during the war, everyday life took place there, and today the facility functions as an interesting attraction for visitors. It consists of underground routes with a total length of 600 m with chambers up to 30 m deep.
3. Market Square in Kłodzko
What else does Klodzko hide in itself? Tourist attractions, as in any city, are concentrated within the market. Particularly noteworthy is the Town Hall, maintained in various architectural styles. It was first erected probably in the 14th century, but unfortunately it was destroyed by fire. The present form, which undoubtedly impresses, was obtained only in the 14th century. Other beautiful buildings located on the Kłodzko market are tenement houses. Decorated in Art Nouveau style, with Baroque decorations on the facades, they immediately attract the eye.
4. Bridge on Młynówka
Kłodzko is also known for the bridge on Młynówka, often compared to the famous Charles Bridge in Prague. And this is by no means about its size, because it does not impress at all with its size. It is small, but very beautiful, atmospheric, which is why it is eagerly photographed. It is considered a historic object because its construction dates back to the second half of the 13th century.
Kłodzko — accommodation
Accommodation is not particularly sophisticated in a city like Kłodzko.

An excellent choice will be Vital & Spa Resort Szarotka located in the heart of Zieleniec full of entertainment, from which it takes only 30-35 minutes to get to Kłodzko.
