Kowary, Mining town in Lower Silesia, Poland
The municipality of Kowary extends across 37 square kilometers at the foot of the Karkonosze Mountains, surrounded by forests and mountain peaks.
The settlement began in 1148 when miners extracted iron ore under Polish Duke Bolesław IV, leading to the establishment of a mining community.
The Lower Silesia Monuments Miniature Park presents detailed replicas of regional architecture, illustrating the rich heritage of the area.
Visitors can reach Kowary by train from Jelenia Góra, with the journey taking 30 minutes through the mountainous Lower Silesian landscape.
The former uranium mines underneath the town now function as tourist routes, allowing visitors to explore the underground mining tunnels.
