The most Italian city in Poland. It is called “little Tuscany”
It is located in Lower Silesia, but it is so picturesque that it resembles Italian landscapes. Tourists associate this city with Tuscany.
It is not without reason that tourists associate Bystrzyca Kłodzka with Tuscany. The green surroundings surrounded by hills, the layered arrangement of buildings on the slopes and the vegetation climbing the walls allow you to feel the Italian atmosphere – all you need is the summer rays of sunshine. It is worth walking through the narrow streets and finding beautiful portals and vaulted halls. “It looks like little Tuscany… but you can still walk here in silence” – encourages you to visit the medieval town of Dolny Śląsk Travel.
The city was founded at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries and its original urban layout, including city fortifications, has been preserved to this day. Walking along the walls, we will pass the Kłodzko Tower, the Water Gate and the remains of the former moat, which remind us of the turbulent past of the region.
Bystrzyca Kłodzka like Tuscany
Italian echoes can also be found in the market square with the Renaissance town hall, which houses the municipal office. A tower with fragments of graffiti has been preserved there.
The proximity of the water will allow you to relax during a summer weekend trip. Bystrzyca Kłodzka is located at the mouth of the Bystrzyca River and the Nysa Kłodzka River, so it is worth taking a walk along the boulevards. At the top of Góra Parkowa you can admire the surroundings from the hill. There is a city park where you can relax after sightseeing.
A base for trips to the Bystrzyckie Mountains
The beauty of the Lower Silesian city delighted the filmmakers. The photos included, among others: to “Pokot” by Agnieszka Holland or “New York, Four in the Morning” by Krzysztof Krauze.
The city will be a base for trips to the Bystrzyckie Mountains. It is a border mountain massif in the Central Sudetes. The highest peak of the Bystrzyckie Mountains is Sasanka (985 m above sea level) in the Jagodna massif (977 m above sea level). This is slightly higher than the average height of the green Tuscan hills.
