Bolków combines the compact scale of a Lower Silesian town with the commanding presence of a medieval fortress, reflecting its historic position on routes through the Sudetes foothills. Set on the Nysa Szalona near the Kaczawskie Mountains, it links the Silesian lowlands with higher country to the south. Bolków Castle, a Piast stronghold developed from the late 13th century, dominates the old centre with its distinctive pointed defensive tower and robust walls. The castle is also the setting for the annual Castle Party gothic music festival. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Lower Silesia.
