Prudnik

Spend a half‑day in Prudnik: see the historic Wok's Tower and town hall, then walk the market square; one night if you want a relaxed stay.

Prudnik is a small Upper Silesian town with a compact historic centre. Its main attractions fit into a few hours, so a day‑trip is enough; an overnight lets you enjoy the town park and local eateries at a leisurely pace.
