Dzierżoniów, formerly Reichenbach im Eulengebirge, is an easy on the eye town in Lower Silesia at the foot of the Owl Mountains. The town has a long history of textile and linen manufacturing, which shaped its development for centuries. A walk through the old town reveals well-preserved medieval defensive walls, the market square with its Renaissance town hall, and the impressive St. George's Church. The City Museum documents the fascinating local history, including the post-WWII period when the town became an important center for Jewish survivors. Its location near the Owl Mountains makes Dzierżoniów an excellent base for hiking and exploring the underground Riese Complex. It's most easily reached from Wrocław, about 60 km away. The best time to visit is from late spring to early autumn.
