Discover Kliczków: Castle, Park and Trails

Castle Tour with Exhibition

The audio-guided tour of Zamek Kliczków includes Sala Dworska and the castle cellars, which house the Muzeum Średniowiecza exhibition. The route starts at the souvenir shop and leads through the castle corridors over four floors. The tour therefore takes in both the rooms and corridors and the exhibition in the cellars. Visitors interested in the castle’s history and the exhibition can experience these stops as part of the same tour. The route over several floors offers a different experience from spending time in the park or taking in the view from a viewpoint.

Views from Wieża Jenny

At the top of Wieża Jenny 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 viewpoint thus offers perspectives on several distinct parts of the surroundings: the landscaped courtyards, the park and the forests. When planning your time in Kliczków, it is easy to distinguish this visit from a tour of the castle rooms: here, the view from above takes centre stage, while the castle tour focuses on the route through the interior rooms and exhibition.

Park, Dry Moat and Animal Cemetery

The old castle park extends to a drained moat that once completely surrounded the castle. The park is also home to a historic cemetery for the horses and dogs of the former castle owners. It is one of only three cemeteries of its kind in Europe. These sites reflect different aspects of the castle grounds: the moat recalls the castle’s former enclosure, while the cemetery commemorates the animals of its former owners. If you plan to visit the animal cemetery, it is advisable to check visiting arrangements in advance.

Trails and Rock Formations Nearby

A riding trail runs from Kliczków towards Przewóz. The trail is intended for horse riding. Another option nearby is a walk along a riverside path, which leads to a geological trail featuring the rock formations Dzban and Pupa Słonia. A few metres farther on, you can climb a wooden observation tower. The rock formations and tower add different points of interest to a castle visit; the trails described do not all offer the same experience.

Planning Your Stay in Kliczków

For your trip, it may help to first choose the experiences that interest you: the audio-guided route through the castle, the view from Wieża Jenny, the historic sites in the park or the trails nearby. This selection can help you decide whether Kliczków is the right destination for you without treating the different visits as if they were the same. If you plan to visit the animal cemetery, check the visiting arrangements in advance.
