Historical facts from Poland - Czocha Castle

Czocha Castle (German: Tzschocha, Latin: Caychow) is a defensive castle in the Czocha village (Gmina Lesna), in Lubań County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship (southwestern Poland). The castle is located on the Lake Leśnia, near the Kwisa river, in what is now the Polish part of Upper Lusatia. Czocha castle was built on gneiss rock, and its oldest part is the keep, to which housing structures were later added.

Czocha Castle began as a stronghold, on the Czech-Lusatian border. Its construction was ordered by Wenceslaus I of Bohemia, in the middle of the 13th century (1241?1247). In 1253 castle was handed over to Konrad von Wallhausen, Bishop of Meissen. In 1319 the complex became part of the dukedom of Henry I of Jawor, and after his death, it was taken over by another Silesian prince, Bolko II the Small, and his wife Agnieszka (see Duchy of Silesia). Origin of the stone castle dates back to 1329.

Visiting Polish monuments of nature

May weekend is one of the first opportunities for short tourist trips. Picnic can spend not only a home barbecue, but also for mountain walks or visiting Polish monuments of nature, and above all walks of large parks and greenery around the beautiful lakes. This way you can not only eat well, but also to spend time in the fresh air and the opportunity to see the history of Polish tourism. Weather in early May is sometimes different, but certainly much more conducive to family walks in the mountains, than the weather prevailing during the cold weather. In contrast, people who visit the large parks, may in designated areas also organize family camping.
