Kluczbork is a scenic small town in Upper Silesia, whose name, 'key castle,' points to a rich past. The city has preserved part of its medieval character, including remnants of the old city walls and the Gothic Saviour's Church. The center is the beautifully restored market square (Rynek), where the Town Hall stands among colorful townhouses. A special pride of the town is the Jan Dzierżon Beekeeping Museum, dedicated to the father of modern apiculture who was active in the region. The best time to visit is late spring and summer when the town shows its most beautiful face. Kluczbork is easily accessible by train and car from surrounding larger cities like Opole. The local cuisine reflects Silesian flavors; it is worth trying the Silesian dumplings (Kluski Śląskie) and meat roulades.
