Nowadays, a visit to a museum is rarely a sad shuffling of slippers. Nowadays, these cultural havens offer an interesting way to learn about the past.
That’s why we recommend the Papermaking Museum in Duszniki-Zdrój, where in a paper mill that is unique for today, you can create handmade paper, including for special occasions (Christmas, Grandparents’ Day, Valentine’s Day, etc.). From November to April, the Museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., and during winter holidays throughout the week (Monday – Saturday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.).

In winter, the Museum is open from: 10-17, ticket prices are PLN 18 (discount), PLN 23 (normal), PLN 20 (workshops).
For home-grown pyromaniacs, we recommend the Phillumenistic Museum in Bystrzyca Kłodzka, where, in addition to exploring the secrets of starting fire over the centuries, you can buy unusual types of matches: storm matches (for lighting in the wind), smoke matches (for checking the patency of the chimney draft) and waterproof ones, which you can light even during the rain.

Church in Neratov
Even if you are not a fan of sacred art, you will certainly appreciate the unique architecture of this church, rebuilt from the ruins. The minimalism of the interior, which is rare in churches, combined with the glass dome create a unique composition. Various concerts are often held here, the church is almost always open to visitors, and no one will rush you if you want to visit the choir balcony. An additional bonus is a small craft brewery located right next to it, offering several types of beers brewed on site.
Kłodzko Fortress
You will gain some historical knowledge by visiting the Kłodzko Fortress – it is one of the largest fortified buildings from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. There are several sightseeing options to choose from, including the upper route and the underground labyrinth of counter-mine galleries, which are unique on a European scale.
