Międzylesie, Administrative town in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
Międzylesie is a town in southwestern Poland near the Czech border, spreading across flat terrain surrounded by forest areas. The center organizes around the historic railway station, with residential neighborhoods extending outward.
The settlement was known as Mittelwalde in the Middle Ages and benefited from its location along trade routes connecting Silesia with neighboring regions. The 20th century brought changes through political shifts and the area's change in sovereignty.
The town preserves its German-Polish past through architecture and street layouts that still follow old trading routes. This layered heritage shapes how the place looks and feels today for residents and visitors alike.
The town is reachable by direct trains to Wrocław and Klodzko departing from the central station. Service frequency may vary seasonally, so it is worth checking current schedules before traveling.
Beneath the town runs a network of underground passages from different periods of its development, some of which can be visited. These tunnels reveal stories about how the place was settled and used over time.
