KLODZKO | STARE MIASTO | SPRING 2024 | Walk with friends in the sunny city

Kłodzko, nestled in the picturesque Kłodzko Valley in southwestern Poland, boasts a rich and tumultuous history. Its origins date back to antiquity, and its strategic location in the valley of the Nysa Kłodzka River made it a significant center of trade and defense for centuries.
The first mentions of Kłodzko date back to the 9th century, and the city flourished under the rule of Czech princes. In the 13th century, Kłodzko became an important urban center, receiving its town charter under the reign of Duke Przemysł Ottokar II. Over the centuries, the city became a battleground, changing hands numerous times.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Kłodzko thrived as a center of culture and learning, attracting artists, intellectuals, and scholars. However, in the 18th century, the city suffered from wars and epidemics, and later under Prussian rule, it lost much of its significance.
In the 19th century, Kłodzko became part of a unified Germany and underwent a period of modernization and industrial development. After World War II, the city became part of Poland, and its German population was expelled. Today, Kłodzko is a dynamically developing city, preserving its rich historical and cultural heritage. Tourists are drawn to its landmarks, scenic landscapes, and numerous cultural attractions.
