From this place there is probably the most beautiful view of the Książ Castle. At the bottom of the terrace there is a path to the ruins of the old castle.

The view of the castle from the front is impressive. It's similar with the interior of the castle. I recommend visiting the castle with an audioguide set.

September 29, 2023,PL-Schloss Ksiaz (Fürstenstein) bei Walbrzych Niederschlesien

The castle garden is very beautiful.
The castle tour with audio guide was very interesting.
Finally, we looked at the Palm House. It is about 20 minutes away on foot, but it was worth the walk. Lots of bonsai, cacti and tropical flowers. There are underground passages …

The Palmenhaus is located about 2 km from Fürstenstein Castle. It is one of the oldest in Poland. The Palm House was built between 1911 and 1914.
