Lubawka: na żywo
Few places in Lower Silesia have a history as closely tied to the Bohemian frontier as Lubawka. The town lies on the Bóbr in the Lubawka Gate, a broad passage through the Sudetes between the Krucze and Kamienne Mountains. Its position near today’s Czech border long made it part of the routes linking Silesia with Bohemia. Lubawka received town rights in 1292, and its compact centre remains organised around a market square. Meadows, gardens and detached homes extend beyond the central streets into the folds of the surrounding hills, lending the town a distinctly small-scale borderland character. Roads running south towards the frontier reinforce Lubawka’s role as a practical base for exploring this quiet corner of the Polish Sudetes.

Set along the Bóbr River in the southern reaches of Lower Silesia, Lubawka is a town whose character is shaped by its position at the foot of the Sudetes near the Czech border. The surrounding terrain places it on a traditional route through the mountains, while the centre retains the scale of an old borderland market town. Lubawka’s origins are linked to the medieval Cistercian estate at nearby Krzeszów, whose abbey remains a major sacred monument in the region. The Bóbr valley and the Bukówka Reservoir add water and open country to an area otherwise defined by wooded ridges.

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.
