What you need to know
- Loud pyrotechnics and cannon fire, so bring ear defenders for toddlers and noise-sensitive kids

About
Once a year, Kłodzko Fortress turns into a battlefield. Several hundred reenactors restage the 1807 Napoleonic siege with cavalry, cannon fire and pyrotechnics, the big finish of a day of historical camps and old crafts spanning the late Middle Ages to World War II. Uniformed troops also march through town. Best for kids who like soldiers and loud bangs; the explosions are too much for some toddlers.
Where it is
Kłodzko Fortress (Twierdza Kłodzko)
Grodzisko 1, 57-300 Kłodzko, Poland
