Kudowa-Zdrój is one of the oldest spa resorts in Poland and Europe. It is situated in the Southern corner of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in the South-Western Poland. Since 1962 Kudowa-Zdrój has also been the capital of the International Moniuszko Festival - a national festival devoted to the honor of the Polish national opera father - Stanisław Moniuszko. Above: a symbolic sculpture in the park next to one of the most renown local spas - "Polonia". Though it is middle of the winter, the magnificent hornbeams of the Spa Park located next to the Sanatorium "Polonia" are still covered with red leaves. From a perspective they seem as if they were covered with flowers. Upon closer examination their trunks are not less impressive. There are many more tree monuments around in the town. Generally Kudowa-Zdrój could be compared to a botanic garden that shelters representative species of not only local, but also exotic plants. Zameczek (below) is one of the old buldings. It is situated opposite the Pump room in the Spa Park. The sculpture of the forest monster, so called Leśny Lud, at the foot of the Parkowa Mountain became a popular local attraction. Many tourists take photos here. One can also climb the top o the mountain to admire the panorama of the town. The Parkowa Mountain is not the only mountain around, of course. In the neighbourhood of Kudowa-Zdrój is the Table (Stołowe) Mountain National Park. The Table Mountains form part of the Sudetes mountain range and are the only one in Poland and one of the few in Europe to present plated structure with sheer mountain ledges. The picturesque formations of the Table Mountains are for sure worth seeing. If you liked this post, leave a comment or like my official fb profile Poland for Beginners.
