PO LAND

The main historic and geographic regions of

Poland:

Lower Silesia
Explore the Region

One of the lures of life in Wrocaw is the easy

access the city offers to the historic sites and
unspoiled nature of the surrounding province
of Lower Silesia. Whether you want to pop
out of town for an evening meal and a drive
through the countryside, or pack up and spend
a weekend away from home with the family
without getting on a plane, Lower Silesia offers
everything from rugged mountains to pristine
lakes; from castles and monasteries to swank
health resorts. Once outside the city, you
can visit historic monuments of international
acclaim, including the two Churches of
Peace that were added to UNESCOs World
Heritage List in 2001. You can also follow the
Cistercian Trail that leads to the ornate abbeys
of Henrykw, Lubi or Krzeszw, the latter
of which is also expected to be recognized
as an official world heritage site. The Lower
Silesia landscape is dotted with more than
160 castles and palaces. Some have been
carefully restored and transformed into classy
hotels and conference centers, while others
function as museums, which take visitors on
fascinating journeys into the past.

What a region!
Population of Lower Silesia:
3 million
Lower Silesias border with
the Czech Republic:
434 kilometers

The beautiful Sudety Mountains can be reached in 1.5 hours by car

from Wrocaw. All year round the Sudetys peaks and trails tempt
lovers of hiking, biking, skiing, rock climbing and paragliding. The
dramatic rock formations and beautiful vistas make the mountains
a perfect destination for active holiday enthusiasts. But the hidden
treasures of Lower Silesia are its natural springs and health spas that
have brought tourists to the region for centuries. Elegant and ornately
decorated hotel complexes and pump rooms attract spa-goers from
near and far who seek respite or convalescence in unique natural
settings. Rural tourism, known locally as agrotourism, has undergone
a veritable boom over the last decade. Farmers across Lower Silesia
have revamped their properties and created inviting guesthouses that
offer city dwellers quaint retreats to escape the hustle and bustle of
urban life. Situated in some of the most beautiful corners of the region,
these small rural hotels provide visitors with a perfect base to explore
Lower Silesias rich heritage, while affording them a unique opportunity
to experience Polish hospitality first hand, and get to know the cuisine
of the region.
