Złotoryja, Medieval mining town in Lower Silesia, Poland
Złotoryja sits on the right bank of the Kaczawa River, surrounded by mountains and volcanic formations that shape the regional landscape of Lower Silesia.
The settlement received city rights in 1211 from Duke Henry I the Bearded, making it the first officially recognized town in Polish territory.
The Museum of Gold presents exhibitions of mining tools, minerals, and documents that tell the story of eight centuries of gold extraction traditions.
The town connects to major transportation routes through the A4 motorway and National Road 3, with Wrocław International Airport located 85 kilometers away.
Local rivers contain gold deposits that visitors can search for during organized panning activities and annual championships held in designated areas.
