Wieża Bracka — Attraction in Lubań

I stumbled upon this little tower museum in Lubań after I missed my train back to Wrocław following a stay at Czocha Castle Hotel. With two hours to spare and the museum only about a 10-minute walk from the station, I decided to check it out.

At first, I wasn’t sure how to get inside — I tried calling the number listed on the door but it didn’t work. Luckily, some visitors were leaving, and I slipped in through the open door.

When I asked about tickets, he smiled and said, “Free!” (because it was Tuesday). I then asked if I could go upstairs, and with a warm gesture he said, “Please!”

I climbed the spiraling wooden staircase up to the observation deck, where I enjoyed a wonderful panoramic view of the town. When I came back down, I wandered around the stone collection and asked the gentleman a question, but he couldn’t explain in English. A few minutes later, he came over with a smile and told me that a friend who spoke English would be arriving shortly.

I’m very grateful for the kindness of the staff, and I highly recommend other travelers to visit this charming and interesting museum if you find yourself in this quiet old...

Z zewnątrz wieża l nie wyróżnia się niczym szczególnym. Tym większe wrażenie robi zgromadzona w środku kolekcja minerałów. Szczególne podziękowania dla Pana, który opowiadał nam nie tylko o nich ale także o historii tego pięknego miasteczka i zaprowadził do miejskiego ratusza, gdzie kontuowaliśmy przygodę nie tylko z historią i geologią...

byłem w Lubaniu w niedzielę, wcześniej byliśmy w zamku Czocha , Fajnie blisko jest jeszcze jedna atrakcja , ale to jakaś pomyłka , wieża jest czynna w godzinach gdy turyści raczej nie mają szansy wejść do środka , z godzin dostępności wynika , że to turysta jest dla muzeum ( zarządcy wieży) a nie muzeum dla...
