Niemcza and surroundings: Wojsławice Arboretum with national plant collections, a cemetery church from 1612 and a palace in Piotrkówek.
Wojsławice Arboretum is a botanical garden about 2 kilometres east of Niemcza and 50 kilometres south of Wrocław. Since 1988 it has belonged to the Botanical Garden of the University of Wrocław. It is known for its rhododendrons, azaleas, daylilies, boxwoods and peonies, and these collections hold National Collection status. For families with children it is a convenient goal even in changeable weather.
The Church of St Adalbert is a small cemetery church whose construction began in 1612 under Duke George of Brzeg. In 1697 it was taken from the Protestants, in 1707 it returned to them, and it regained the name of St Adalbert only after 1945. Stained glass from the 1930s and 1940s fills its windows.
The 16th-17th century palace in Piotrkówek is privately owned, so you see it only from outside. It belongs to a complex with a park, orchard, garden and water tower.
Wysoki Las is a wooded rise in the Oak Hills, right by Niemcza. The hills stretch for about 10 kilometres from Ruszkowice to Sienica, and the highest point, Ostra Góra, is 362 metres. Oak and birch forest grows here, with steppe-type vegetation in the north. It is a free, quiet goal for a solo hike.
For a wider plan choose Dzierżoniów, Bielawa, Rościszów, Jaźwina or Ostroszowice.
