Jelenia Góra, Administrative center in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Located at an elevation of 352 meters, Jelenia Góra extends along the valley between the Karkonosze mountains and Kaczawskie mountains in southwestern Poland.

The settlement received its city rights in 1288 under Polish rule and developed into a significant trade hub connecting the Holy Roman Empire with Eastern Europe.

The central marketplace features varied architectural elements, including a 17th-century town hall and multiple baroque churches that represent regional building traditions.

The city maintains direct rail connections to Wrocław and functions as a base for exploring the Karkonosze National Park throughout all seasons.

Archaeological excavations in Jelenia Góra revealed ancient cemeteries of the Lusatian culture, indicating continuous human presence since prehistoric times.
