Glucholazy: Rynek

Głuchołazy combines the activity of a border town with a quieter foothill setting in a way that reflects its position on the Biała Głuchołaska River near the Czech frontier. It stands at the northern foot of the Opawskie Mountains, part of the wider Zlatohorská vrchovina range that extends across the border. Medieval gold mining played an important role in the town’s early development, while its historic centre retains the character of an old Silesian settlement. Forested hills and cross-border routes give the area a distinctly Central European feel.

The terrain of Opole Voivodeship extends from the low, fertile Oder Valley in the north to the foothills of the Sudetes in the south, giving the region a varied yet mostly gentle character. The Oder, Poland’s second-longest river, runs through the regional capital of Opole, a historic Silesian city known for its old town and annual National Festival of Polish Song. South of the city, Mount St Anne is an important pilgrimage destination, while Brzeg is noted for its Renaissance Piast Castle. These places reflect the voivodeship’s position at the meeting point of river plains, uplands and Silesian traditions.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
