Prudnik is a small town in Opole province, historically part of Upper Silesia. The rivers Prudnik and Zloty Potok flow through it. It is only 5.5 kilometers from the Czech border.
This medieval town was granted city rights in 1279. The only monument, so to speak, remembering those times is the castle tower (Woka Tower), the oldest tower of its kind in Upper Silesia, from which one can admire the panorama of the city and its immediate surroundings.
Prudnik was not heavily damaged during World War II, so it reflects well the atmosphere of the historic city. Worth seeing is Prudnik's rectangular market square with colorful 18th- and 19th-century townhouses. In its central part is the town hall with a tall tower, and some of the older buildings in the city - the Marian column and the statue of St. John Nepomucen.
Around the city, due to the nearby location of the Opawskie Mountains, one can also find many walking and hiking trails, and in nearby Prudnik-Les there is a well-known Franciscan monastery along with the St. Joseph's sanctuary, where Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski was imprisoned in 1954.
Prudnik is crisscrossed by national and provincial roads. The city is fairly well connected with its nearest neighbors and is located
on the route leading to the Trzebina-Vysoká border crossing with the Czech Republic.
The town also has a railway station and the Prudnik PKS bus station with frequent buses. Numerous connections to Polish and European cities depart from the bus station. If you have never been to Prudnik, but are planning a vacation in the Opawskie Mountains area, for example, visit this town as well - it will surely charm you.
