ul. Kręta 4, 57-215 Srebrna Góra, woj. dolnośląskie
The fortress rises above the village of Srebrna Góra in the Sudetes (the Owl Mountains/Bardo Mountains), on a mountain pass. It is one of the largest mountain fortresses in Europe, sometimes called the "Gibraltar of Silesia".
This is a rare example of a preserved European mountain fortress from the 18th century, built on rocky ground. It was part of the Prussian defensive system guarding the passage through the Sudetes.
Among the accessible parts are the bastions, the donjon and guided tours; a multimedia route presenting the construction of the fortress is also available.
An attraction for families, fortification enthusiasts and tourists visiting the Kłodzko Valley and the Owl Mountains.
Apr-Oct: 10:00-18:00 (last guided tour approx. 16:30); Nov-Mar: 10:00-17:00; summer weekends 10:00-19:00.
From the pass to the fortress it is approx. 1 km uphill along an asphalt road (approx. 15 min on foot).
