What you need to know
- Underground tunnels from age 4, a 35-minute guided walk in Polish at about 6°C, so bring a jacket even in summer
- Palm House is 2 km away, about a 25-minute walk from the castle, and the castle ticket covers one visit there within 12 months
- Bags go in the cloakroom, since backpacks and large bags are not allowed in the castle rooms, so pack light for the tour
About
Książ is a hilltop castle set in forest in Wałbrzych, first recorded in the 1290s and later home to the von Hochberg family. Kids tour the grand halls with an audioguide, and on a guided visit go down into the tunnels built beneath it for the secret Nazi "Riese" project in World War II.
The castle ticket also covers the Palm House, a tropical glasshouse 2 km away.
