Kliczków – Castle, Park and Trails

Kliczków offers several specific starting points when choosing a stay: the audio-guided tour of Zamek Kliczków, the views from Wieża Jenny, the old castle park and trails in the surrounding area. Depending on whether you are more interested in interiors, historical traces, views or an outdoor route, you can focus on different things. These distinctions can help you factor the castle grounds and nearby destinations into your decision about Kliczków.

Castle Tour and Views

The audio-guided tour of Zamek Kliczków includes Sala Dworska and the castle cellars with the Muzeum Średniowiecza exhibition. The route begins in the souvenir shop and passes through the castle corridors over four floors. This means the visit follows a route across several levels: the interiors and the passage through the corridors go hand in hand. If you are particularly interested in the rooms and the exhibition, you can make this tour a focus of your visit. This sets it apart from spending time in the park or taking in the view from above.

Wieża Jenny offers a different perspective. At its summit is a viewing platform surrounded by medieval battlements. From there, you can look out over the park, the castle courtyards and the nearby forests. The audio-guided route takes you through rooms and corridors; from the platform, you can look outside over the park and surrounding area. If you would like to experience both sides of the castle, you can plan the interior tour and the views as separate highlights.

Park and Historical Traces

The old castle park extends as far as the drained moat, which once completely surrounded the castle. The moat’s present condition and its former function belong to different periods: it is now drained, while its role in completely encircling the castle belongs to the past. The park is also home to a historic cemetery for horses and dogs belonging to the former castle owners. It is one of three cemeteries of its kind in Europe. The animal species and their connection to the former owners give the cemetery a clearly defined theme; its place among three such sites in Europe also gives it a broader context.

Trails in the Surrounding Area

In the surrounding area, a walk along a riverside path leads to a geological trail featuring the rock formations Dzban and Pupa Słonia. A few metres further along this route, you can climb a wooden observation tower. This viewpoint differs from the platform on Wieża Jenny: the wooden tower is part of a walk in the surrounding area, while the platform is at the summit of the castle. A riding trail also runs from Kliczków towards Przewóz. The riverside walk and the riding trail are different types of routes that you can consider separately when planning your stay.

What to Focus on During Your Stay

To help make your decision, you can first consider whether you want to focus on the castle tour, the view from a lookout platform, the history of the park or a route in the surrounding area. There is also a specific difference between the viewpoints: Wieża Jenny offers views of the park, castle courtyards and nearby forests, while the wooden tower is part of the riverside route. The riding trail towards Przewóz offers yet another focus. If you are looking for a hotel in Kliczków, these distinctions can help you choose a destination that suits your interests.
