Wałbrzych tourist town? Gediminas Hill the industrial city of Walbrzych from the beginning. Already in the fourteenth century there ore mined lead and silver, and later developed into cloth and płóciennictwo, in the nineteenth century iron foundries, factories, porcelain, glass, power plants and gas works. At that time he became a mining town in Wałbrzych. Coal mining dominated the mid-90s of the twentieth century. Restructuring and privatization processes of the Second Republic led to the bankruptcy of mines and associated facilities. For several years the development of the city determined the scarcity of jobs, rising unemployment and poverty of the inhabitants. Wałbrzych gained the reputation of a city embattled country, and its negative image the media aggravated reports from the poverty-shafts and tragedies of dying in their workers.
Wałbrzych no longer an industrial city. Salvation for the city and the region became the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone "Invest Park", which built a modern factory a few well-known foreign companies. The Zone continues to grow, the hope is that the survival time of global crisis and will save jobs of several thousand employees.
Since this is an industrial city where so talking about his future travel? Why does the strategy of tourism development Wałbrzych is a high priority? Is Wałbrzych can become a German Ulm, Freiburg and Wiesbaden? What are the conditions and predispositions ?
Walbrzych has strengths and qualities to become a tourist town, which we do not see every day and do not appreciate. One of them is its geographical location. Few other cities in the world so beautiful landscape and so exquisitely wkomponowanych in natural conditions. Colonies were colored cottages scattered around the sides of mountains, drowned in the undergrowth of the forest, create a fabulous panorama of the city, visible in the sunlight as a natural ornament adorning the densely built-up, located in the bottom of the pulsating city life. Stands guard over the city were Chełmiec, one of the highest peaks of the mountains Wałbrzyskie, but also from other sides it is surrounded by high, forested peaks of Stone Mountains and Foothills Wałbrzych. The city is highly fragmented, combines several settlements, among them newly built, such as the Sand Mountain and Podzamcze. Together they form a diverse, interesting agglomeration.
Quick solution to difficult problems of communication, especially the construction of the bypass and repair of roads and efficient renovation and revaluation in the old part of town, would make Wałbrzych attractive for tourists and day trippers to visit the place where the model in a way that connects with the contemporary history .
enrolled in its history, a beautiful card Wałbrzych as a city-resort. This is where the old district Zdrój in the late seventeenth century, subdued the local mineral springs and beautiful nature mountain resort was Alt Wasser, famous throughout Europe. It is unfortunate that as a result of damage to mining and industrial development of the city in the late nineteenth century spa wałbrzyski lost his reputation. Wałbrzych is a remarkable historical monuments and tourist attractions. Castle "Prince" does not deviate like the most famous tourist attractions in the country, and its unusual location on the precipice Pełcznicy Gorge and surrounded by a magnificent park with ancient trees, leaves a lasting impression. Right next to the castle you can visit Stud Stallion, in addition to the beautiful specimens of horses also enjoy the old style architecture team building and located a bit further Lubichowską historic Palm House. have listed the three most famous sightseeing places in Walbrzych. But this is just a drop in the bucket capacity. They consist of both a number of architectural monuments, ranging from Czettritzów palace, also known as Castle in the city center, by Museum, Library the Atlantis, a charming square, beautiful buildings, historic churches, public buildings, services, manufacturing, the vast parks and ending points of vantage. Mining past of the city we know the Museum of Industry and Technology formed at the site of a former underground mine or Lisia Adit, the future of industry is to look at Gaza, and retail and service on the border Szczawno-Zdrój, Sand Mountain, and Podzamcze. It is What to see in the Wałbrzych, is also in the vicinity. It should go back to an interesting, colorful history of the city, but also point to elements of modernity, progress and transformation.
New perspectives related to the investment plans of which we hear more and more. Park Multicultural concept of building "Old Mine can overturn stereotypes of view of mining town. Ever smarter and more realistic plans for the renovation and modernization of the castle, "Prince" also raises new hopes. The money to build roads, to which have not dreamed. commence the construction of sports center on the White Stone . We learn about yet other investment projects, which may improved appreciably in the hotels, catering and seating. Implementation of these projects is the foundation for the development of the tourist city. Wałbrzych must not only attract tourists because of the tourist attractions, but also to be a modern base in the neighborhood. Extremely thriving Szczawno-Zdroj is not by itself able to fill the gap.
Wałbrzych is located in the heart of the tourist region of the natural , covering city and county municipalities Wałbrzych earth. This region escapes the attention of travelers, tourists and holidaymakers, as he found himself in the grip of two more developed for tourism and leisure, renowned regions - Kłodzko and Jeleniogórskiego. Historic Klodzko and spas Kłodzko, Polanica, Duszniki and Kudowa Zdroj on one hand, and beautifully situated at the foot of the Karkonosze Jelenia Gora, along with Cieplice-Zdrój, Szklarska Poreba, Karpacz, on the other hand, the advantages overshadow the recreational and tourist resort region Wałbrzych, pushing them into the background. Not without significance here was the dominance of industry in Walbrzych, and in the nearest cities and municipalities in Świebodzice Boguszow-Gorce, Głuszyca, Mieroszów, Walim, where tourism was relatively unimportant. It happened in the second half of the nineteenth century and survived the long years of communism. It was not until the economic meltdown posierpniowej times of restructuring, the decline of mining, light industry, railway transport, rocked the local communities so that they started to put the question of what next? How to get out of the downturn, where to look for ways to grow? And then came back had long advocated yet during the German idea of \u200b\u200bdevelopment based on the geographical location and natural landscape features, the use of what brought us the gift of nature. This is not idle password that tourism is stimulated the economy. You can multiply the examples of cities and regions in Poland and the world that effect the development of tourism have become economic powers. It turns out that the development of tourism, recreation and relaxation, a completely new experimental plot for the local governments of all municipalities in the region of Wałbrzych. This is a sure-fire direction and guarantee success if actions are common, thoughtful, effective and long-term.
Is tourism and landscape values \u200b\u200bof cities and municipalities Wałbrzych region are able to match the acclaimed at home and abroad and regions kłodzkiemu jeleniogórskiemu? Are we able to become a renowned tourist destination? The answer to this question will bring immediate future.
