Wałbrzych, Industrial center in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
The city spreads across valleys and hills at an elevation of 350 meters, surrounded by the central Sudeten mountains in southwestern Poland.
The city received its town rights in 1400 and developed significantly through silver, lead, and coal mining operations from the 14th century onwards.
The city contains multiple museums displaying porcelain collections and mining exhibitions that document the industrial heritage of the Lower Silesian region.
Wałbrzych functions as a major rail junction in Lower Silesia, connecting travelers to main cities while offering extensive public transportation options.
The nearby Książ Castle, with its 415 rooms constructed between the 13th and 20th centuries, stands as the third largest castle in Poland.
