Lower Silesia region is an area that repeatedly changed hands over the past centuries. It was ruled by the kings of Poland, and Czech Republic as well as the emperors of Germany, Prussia, and Austria. There were also times when Lower Silesia was divided and each of its territories was ruled by a local prince.
Lower Silesia is where the borders of Poland, Germany and Czech Republic meet. For centuries, the neighboring countries struggled for political and economic influence over this region.

Fortunately, during the different past reigns, the region witnessed not only battles and destruction, but also numerous developments in areas ranging from agriculture to the arts.

Lords, aristocracy, and common citizens, who had come from various countries (including the religious immigrants from the Czech Republic, Wallonia and the Netherlands), left behind magnificent works of art, craft and architecture enriching our culture. The multiple peoples of Europe brought along scientific, economic, and industrial solutions as well as adding variety to the Polish cuisine.

Trip to the Castle Ksiaz – fascinating history, fate and guests of the castle from XIII to this day. Ksiaz Castle is a residential complex located approximately 50 km from our hotel. It was built in the years 1288 – 1292 by Prince Bolko I Surowy – ruler of Swidnicko-Jaworskie Dutchy. In the following centuries was in the hands of the dukes of the Czech and Germany. It was constantly expanded, and from several years is systematically restored. It is the third largest castle in Poland. It hosted the most significant personalities from Poland and other countries like Emperor of Russia Nicholas I Romanov and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. During World War II the castle was adopted as one of Hitler’s lodging. Also it was a place of storage of the collection of the Berlin State Library.

DAY 4
Trip to the Cistercian Abbey in Lubiaz – the largest Cistercian Abbey in the world and one of the largest and highest -class baroque monuments in Europe. The monastery is the second largest religious building in the world ( the first is a palace – monastery El Escorial in Spain ) . The complex has an area of two and a half times the Wawel Castle and has more than 600 windows. Only the roof area is approximately 2.5 hectares , and the length of the facade is 223 meters. It is the longest Baroque facade in Europe. The abbey was founded in 1163 by Silesian prince Bolesław. He invited the Cistercians of Thuringia to settle in the Lower Silesia . The monastery also developed all the time and reached the peak of its splendor during the reign of the Habsburgs in Silesia. The collapse of the object occurred in 1810 when the Prussian king canceled the convent and adopted the monastery for hospital . Further and total collapse occurred at the end of World War II, when the building was occupied by Soviet troops. It was time of total devastation and plunder. In later years, the monastery served as a warehouse. A thorough renovation began in 1989 and continues today. Currently, they are available for the public the halls and rooms which are the most outstanding monuments of Baroque in the world. Interesting fact is that in 1997 Michael Jackson visited the property during his tour in Poland.

Fortress is an excellent example of European military architecture in the area from the thirteenth to the eighteenth century building was erected on the cliff top at a height of 247 m above the level of the Elba. The first object in the current fortress was fortified castle built by the Czechs in the thirteenth century. The castle was located exactly on the border between the Czech and Westmarch Meissen. At the beginning of the fifteenth century ( 1408, ) ruling Saxon Wettin dynasty took it in his possession . In 1559 started reconstruction of the castle for the fortress , which lasted until 1731. Interesting highlight of the day is that from Poland to Germany and back, we will go through the Czech Republic – so that in one day we will be in three countries.

On the last day it’s good to relax using what it the Palace offers. Pool, spa, resting in the palace garden, from which you can admire the panorama of the mountains.

We offer 4-5 hour trip without rush and straining forces – entry to the top by chairlift, walk along the ridge above the Snowy Cirque, view the entire Jeleniogórska Valley, the descent down through the Black Cirque.

Day 8
Wrocław – visit to Panorama of battle in Raclawice, free time.
Panorama of the battle in Raclawice in Wrocław, an impressive relic of 19th-century century mass culture, is one of only few examples of this genre preserved in Europe. The large painting (15x114m) ‚transfers’ the viewer into an altogether different time, a reality of its own, by artfully combining painterly devices (special kind of perspective) and technical effects (lighting, artificial terrain, dark and usually tortuous passage to the viewing platform). Panorama of the Battle of Racławice is the oldest and only extant example of panorama painting in Poland. The project was conceived as a patriotic manifestation commemorating the 100th anniversary of the victorious Battle of Racławice, a famous episode of the Kościuszko Insurrection, a heroic but in the end fallen attempt to defend Polish independence. Over the last two centuries, the object visited so esteemed guests as: Karl Ludwig Habsburg duke of Austria, Franz Joseph I Emperor of Austria, Pope John Paul II, Beatrix Queen of Holland, Albert II King of Belgium. After sightseeing, free time. The neighborhood offers  lots of splendid shopping opportunities in delis, boutiques and malls.

Day 9
After two days of walking among the monuments of the Gothic and Baroque periods, its time for outstanding monument of urban architecture from beginning of twentieth century. Centennial Hall is a unique venue on the map of Poland, where history harmoniously interacts with modernity. It was designed by Max Berg, an outstanding city architect, and recognized as one of the top masterpieces of the 20th century architecture. The designer assumed that the Hall was to serve citizens of Wrocław and visitors to Lower Silesia’s capital city, and it continues to perform this function successfully. Multi-purpose space, unusual structure, unique and spacious location represent just a few of its strengths. Centennial Hall complex currently is one of the most desired venues among domestic and foreign organizers of major exhibitions, conferences, cultural, sport and congress events. The Hall’s inscription on UNESCO World Heritage List in 2006 emphasized the rank of this facility. Undoubtedly it is one of the most characteristic flagships of Wrocław in the international scale, and exceptionally magic site in the city where the charts of history record its multi-generational experience.

We recommend it for hygienic reasons.

Climate and weather
Poland has a temperate – warm climate but in the Sudetes and Carpathians there  is also mountain climate. However , like all over Europe,  the weather is becoming less predictable. Summer and early autumn are  warm and this is a best time to travel. In summer, temperatures can soar, sometimes reaching around 30 degrees centigrade, particularly in July. Winters can be cold and sometimes harsh (can reach even  20 degrees  centigrade below zero), so you need to wrap up well; the skiing season starts in late November and lasts until March.
