Park paths, pond and viewpoint

Zdrojowy Park in Kudowa-Zdrój has walking paths and a promenade leading to a large pond. Ornamental carp, ducks and swans live there. The park is listed in the register of historic monuments; the Kudowa-Zdrój Salt Tower complex is also located within the park. A visit can therefore combine different experiences: the paths and promenade, the pond and its wildlife, and the Salt Tower complex as another destination in the park.

If you are looking for a viewpoint, Góra Parkowa is home to the “Altanka Miłości” (Love Pavilion). The Kaplica Czaszek (Chapel of Skulls) is another special place to visit, but one clear condition applies: it can only be visited on a guided tour. So if you plan to visit this attraction, the tour is part of the experience. The park and chapel offer different highlights, while the viewpoint on Góra Parkowa is another idea for your stay in Bad Kudowa.

Discover crafts and toys

At the Szlak Ginących Zawodów (Trail of Vanishing Trades), visitors can watch a pottery demonstration. The site also includes a bread house, a cottage with old furnishings, a smithy, a windmill and a mini-zoo. The demonstration offers an insight into pottery alongside the various buildings and facilities. Families can choose a visit focused on crafts and other features of the Szlak Ginących Zawodów; when planning, you can take into account which of these interest you most.

The Muzeum Zabawek (Toy Museum) in Kudowa-Zdrój offers a different way to explore. Its collection comprises more than 5,500 historical toys and objects from childhood. The items come from five continents and date from antiquity to the 1990s. This broad range of periods and places makes the museum a cultural destination in its own right. It also has a storytelling trail for families, designed for children aged seven and over and adults. For families interested in following the trail, the age guidance is a useful point of reference.

Folk culture and cycling route to Pstrążna

The Muzeum Kultury Ludowej Pogórza Sudeckiego (Museum of Folk Culture of the Sudeten Foothills) in Pstrążna preserves old furniture and agricultural tools from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum permanently displays historic wooden folk architecture from the Sudeten foothills. The furniture, agricultural tools and wooden architecture offer different ways to explore folk culture: you can focus on domestic and working objects or on the region’s building traditions.

A cycling route also leads from Kudowa-Zdrój via Czermna and Žďárky to Pstrążna. There, you can visit an open-air museum about village life in the Czech-Polish border region. The route links these places in the order given, offering another way to shape your stay beyond the park and museums in Kudowa-Zdrój. When choosing a holiday apartment in Bad Kudowa, you can first consider whether your trip will focus more on walking paths, cultural collections, crafts or a cycling tour.

If you are considering other places for your trip, you can also find Duszniki-Zdrój, Stojków, Młynowiec, Nowa Ruda, Wójtowice, Leśna, Lądek-Zdrój and Lasówka.
