Discover Miłków
Accommodation in Miłków
Miłków brings together landscapes, local history and two buildings with unusual designs. This gives you different ways to shape your trip: mountain views, historic buildings and houses that alter your usual sense of spatial orientation. Consider whether you would rather spend your time enjoying the landscape, exploring the history or trying an unusual activity. That way, you can give each theme the attention that matches your interests instead of treating every destination as an equivalent stop.
Landscapes between viewpoints and the wider region
From Miłków, you can enjoy views of Śnieżka and the Karkonosze Mountains; the village also lies on the Łomnica River. The distant views and riverside location offer two distinct connections with the landscape. They give you a concrete basis for weighing nature-focused experiences against the village’s historical attractions during your stay. Further afield, the more than 360-kilometre Sudecki Szlak Konny (Sudeten Horse Trail) passes through the nature- and culture-rich areas of the Western and Central Sudetes. Its overall length offers a different scale from the local views: if you are planning a longer trip through the Sudetes, you can consider the horse trail as part of the wider region and plan specific stages based on its route.
Unusual houses: a change of perspective and rotation
Two very different buildings add to the village’s unusual character. Chata na Głowie is at 50 Nowowiejska Street in Miłków. Visitors enter the upside-down house through a gable window; inside, they move along the ceiling while furniture and everyday objects hang above their heads. The change of perspective goes beyond the exterior: the usual relationship between floor, furnishings and visitor is turned upside down too. Chatka Grawitacyjna offers a different experience. This rotating house spins around its own axis at eight revolutions per minute, or approximately once every seven and a half seconds. Comparing the two can help you choose between an inverted interior and a building in motion. Check the current visitor access arrangements for both houses before planning a visit.
Palace history and details at St Jadwiga’s Church
Different details take centre stage in the area’s cultural history. The Baroque palace in Miłków was built in 1667 by Count Carl Heinrich von Zierotin and is surrounded by parkland. The year it was built offers a specific historical reference point, while at St Jadwiga’s Church, three penitential crosses set into the north wall draw attention to a single architectural detail. These different perspectives give you more than one way to plan a cultural visit: you can explore a building with a known date or focus on a striking feature of the church wall.
Summer tournaments to plan around
A sporting event may also be relevant when choosing your travel dates. The summer volleyball tournaments “Wakacyjne Turnieje Siatkówki z Milanos” were organised as a recurring event by the Stowarzyszenie Milanos association in the municipality of Podgórzyn and held at the Orlik sports complex in Miłków. The editions held since 2019 have attracted volleyball fans from the region and across Poland. If you would like to combine a trip with a tournament, check the dates for the relevant edition in advance.
