Karpniki, Mountain village in Jelenia Góra Valley, Poland
Karpniki is a village in Jelenia Góra Valley surrounded by four mountain ranges: Karkonosze, Rudawy Janowickie, Kaczawskie Mountains, and Izery Mountains. The location provides access to trails and natural features that shape the local landscape.
The settlement first appeared in records during the 13th century as part of Piast territory in divided Poland. A castle was built in the 15th century and later redesigned in 1844 following plans by Friedrich August Stüler for the Prussian prince.
The 15th-century castle underwent reconstruction in 1844 following designs by Friedrich August Stüler for Prince Wilhelm of Prussia.
The village sits approximately 10 kilometers from Jelenia Góra and provides convenient access to mountain trails and walking routes. Visitors can easily explore the surrounding mountain terrain and natural paths from this base location.
The castle hosted the confirmation ceremony of Marie of Prussia in 1842, with King Frederick William IV and Elisabeth Ludovika of Bavaria attending. This royal event highlights the village's historical connection to European royal families.
