Around Śnieżnik The highest range in Kłodzko Land begins fifteen minutes beyond Lądek: dripstone underground, a bare summit above, and valleys shaped by a Dutch princess. Stronie Śląskie and Stara Morawa about 13–16 km Just past the town, in Stara Morawa, lies a small reservoir with a sandy beach and mountain views – the best place for a hot afternoon. Next to it stands Wapiennik Łaskawy Kamień: a 19th-century lime kiln and industrial monument, now home to printmaking studios, a gallery and a Japanese garden, with guided visits in summer. 3 Kletno, Bear Cave Jaskinia Niedźwiedzia about 22 km Poland’s finest dripstone cave was discovered in a marble quarry in 1966. The guided tour takes about 45 minutes: flowstone cascades, stalactites and the bones of cave bears. It is around 6 °C inside. Important: tickets are sold almost exclusively online and often sell out weeks ahead. 4 Śnieżnik, 1,425 m From the car park in Kletno the trail takes about two and a half hours, past the mountain hut on Hala pod Śnieżnikiem, to the treeless summit. Since 2022 a 34-metre lookout tower has stood there again; on clear days the view runs from Praděd to the Giant Mountains. 5 Czarna Góra Sienna about 20 km A ski resort in winter; in summer a chairlift and bike park, with a wide panorama from the ridge. 6 Międzygórze about 40 km A mountain village from another age: wooden villas in Tyrolean and Norwegian style, the 22-metre Wilczki waterfall and, higher up on Igliczna, the pilgrimage church of Our Lady of the Snows with a view across the whole basin. With children, visit the Fairy-Tale Garden (Ogród Bajek). 7 Marianne of Orange The Dutch princess (1810–1883) bought much of the Śnieżnik massif, built roads, marble quarries and mountain huts, and turned Międzygórze into a summer resort. You will meet her name at every turn. Where three seas begin On Trójmorski Wierch, south of Śnieżnik, the catchments of the Baltic, the North Sea and the Black Sea meet. There is a lookout tower there too. Dom Skowronki, Radochów near Lądek-Zdrój 5
