In Kliczków, several highlights for your trip are close together: the audio-guided tour of Zamek Kliczków, the view from Wieża Jenny and trails in the surrounding area. The castle combines named interior rooms with an exhibition in the cellars; outside, the highlights range from the historic parkland to geological formations. When planning, consider whether you would like to focus mainly on culture, views or a walk.

Castle Tour Across Four Floors

The audio-guided tour of Zamek Kliczków includes the Sala Dworska and the castle cellars, where the Muzeum Średniowiecza exhibition is located. It takes you through different parts of the castle, from the named hall down to an exhibition in the cellars. So if you choose the tour, you will find more here than just a single exhibition room as the main attraction.

The route starts at the souvenir shop, passes through the castle corridors and covers four floors. This sequence gives the visit a clear spatial structure. Together with the Sala Dworska and the exhibition in the cellar, it shapes the castle visit differently from a single viewpoint or an outdoor walk. You can consider the route and the stops mentioned as an interconnected part of your trip planning.

Views and Traces of the Castle’s History

At the top of Wieża Jenny is a viewing platform surrounded by medieval battlements. From there, you can see the park, the castle courtyards and the nearby forests. The tower offers a different focus from the interior tour: here, the views and the different landscape and castle features take centre stage. The battlements are also a distinctive architectural feature of the platform.

The old castle park extends as far as the drained moat, which once completely surrounded the castle. The present-day description of the park thus leads to a feature of the former castle grounds: the moat is dry, but its former function remains part of the site’s history. The park also contains a historic cemetery for the horses and dogs of former castle owners. It is one of only three cemeteries of its kind in Europe. The castle operator recommends checking whether the animal cemetery can be visited before you go.

A Walk or a Riding Trail?

Nearby, a walk along a riverside path leads to a geological trail featuring the rock formations Dzban and Pupa Słonia. A few metres further on, you can climb a wooden viewing tower. This outing combines the riverside path with a geological destination and another viewpoint. It differs from the view over the park and castle courtyards offered by the platform on Wieża Jenny.

Another option is the riding trail that runs from Kliczków in the direction of Przewóz. When choosing between the two, note the difference from the riverside route described above: the route to the geological trail is described as a walk, while the connection towards Przewóz is a riding trail. These are different activities and should not be combined into a single route.

If you are looking for a hotel for your trip to Kliczków, this distinction can help you plan around your interests: the castle tour and Wieża Jenny are highlights at Zamek Kliczków; the geological trail is nearby.
