Leśna, City in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

Leśna stands along the left banks of the Kwisa River, surrounded by forests and positioned north of the Jizera Mountains in southwestern Poland.

First documented in 1144, the settlement received market rights in 1515 and developed into a center for cloth manufacturing during the sixteenth century.

The city reflects the mixed heritage of Lower Silesia through its architecture and customs, incorporating both Polish and German influences from different periods.

The municipality maintains numerous hiking trails around Lake Leśnia reservoir, providing outdoor recreation opportunities for residents and visitors throughout the year.

The original medieval settlement relocated after the Hussite Wars of 1434, with inhabitants building a new town layout further south from the initial location.
