The park is located in the Central Sudety Mountains in the area of cities such as Jedlina-Zdrój, Wałbrzych and Boguszów-Gorce. It includes the Suche Mountains, the Wałbrzych Mountains and the Kamienne Mountains, and the total area is over 6400 ha.
Rock landscape
It is worth visiting the Wałbrzych Sudety due to the impressive views and interesting terrain - hills and valleys crossed by streams. During the hike, it is impossible not to visit the highest point of the park - Waligóra - which is 936 m above sea level. The most interesting features that distinguish the area from other places in the area include numerous landslides and rock scree. Also worth seeing with your own eyes are the cones (Borowa and Trójgarb), which are evidence of the ancient volcanic activity of the Wałbrzych Sudety. The park area belongs to the so-called Baltic Sea catchment area. In this place, both surface and groundwater flow to one point. Moreover, the area is full of streams and small rivers that diversify the landscape and make hiking in the park even more interesting.
Quarries
For lovers of a slightly different form of landscape than vegetation, there are quarries in rock workings (most of them closed). These include places such as Małpia Skała (northern slope of Kostrzyn) or Czerwone Skały (north-western slope of Suchawa). Attractive tourist paths and walking routes have been created around the abandoned mines, showing a slightly different, but equally interesting face of the Wałbrzych Sudetes, worth devoting some free time to.
Other attractions in our area
There are also other places worth seeing near the Wałbrzych Sudetes Landscape Park. In Mały Wołowiec you can admire the longest railway tunnel in Poland - it is 1,601 m. It was excavated in the years 1907-1912, playing a significant role during the Franco-Prussian War. The stone wedge finish surrounded by wild greenery makes the facility an interesting element of the local landscape. While walking around the park, you can come across the 13th-century ruins of a castle, as well as a charming wooden church from the 16th century. However, the biggest attraction of the region is the Książ Castle in Wałbrzych, which belongs to the Hochberg family. Within the park itself, there are two interesting reserves: "Przełomy pod Książem" (a forest reserve) and "Jeziorko Daisy" (a closed limestone quarry).
