Wroclaw District – the heart of Lower Silesia

A county in Lower Silesia Province covering the area east and south of Wroclaw, which is administratively the seat of an independent urban county; Wroclaw County includes the municipalities of Kąty Wrocławskie, Siechnice, Sobótka, Długołęka and Kobierzyce.

Slezanski Landscape Park – hiking in the Sudetic foothills

The tourist and economic heart of the region is, of course, Wroclaw, each year attracting several million visitors to the provincial capital from abroad and other parts of our country. But those who don’t want to miss out on many interesting attractions (both natural and cultural) can’t limit themselves to the most frequented points on the region’s map – after all, places away from the hustle and bustle of the city often turn out to be equally, if not even more, interesting!

Mietkowski Reservoir – a paradise for water sports and recreation enthusiasts

Thus, in the Sleza Landscape Park in the Sudeten Foreland, it is essential to climb its highest peak – Sleza (718 m above sea level), included in the Crown of Polish Mountains, which is a former center of solar worship. In the Bystrzyca Valley Landscape Park, on the other hand, amateurs of water recreation should not get bored, just go to the Mietkow Reservoir and take advantage of the hospitality of the Water Sports and Recreation Center in Borzygniew.

Viewing tower in Kotowice – panorama of the south-eastern neighborhoods of Wroclaw

An opportunity to admire the natural beauty of the southeastern environs of Wroclaw in its full splendor is provided by the viewing tower in Kotowice (Siechnice municipality) – an over 40-meter-high structure over the Oder River, which offers a beautiful panorama.

Cultural treasures of Wroclaw county – castles, palaces and churches

However, as far as the region’s cultural heritage is concerned, among the locations somewhat distant from Wroclaw we can find such interesting places as Topacz Castle with its exceptional collection of antique cars and motorcycles in the Motorization Museum near the castle, the 16th-century palace in Krobielowice, the early 18th-century Baroque church of St. Michael the Archangel in Długołęka, or the late 16th-century Mannerist church of the Holy Trinity in Żórawina. The full list would have to be much longer, as there is no shortage of such attractions in the area either!
