Located about 120 km from Wrocław, the town of Bolesławiec — internationally known for its world-famous Polish pottery and ceramics — has been producing handcrafted stoneware for centuries. Rich deposits of high-quality clay and the long ceramic tradition of the region made Bolesławiec one of the most important pottery centers in Europe. Today, Bolesławiec pottery is admired around the world for its distinctive handmade decorations, especially the iconic peacock eye pattern.

The highlight of the experience is a visit to one of the best local pottery manufacturers, where you can observe the entire production process of traditional Polish pottery. You will see skilled artisans creating and decorating ceramics by hand using traditional stamping techniques passed down through generations. After the factory visit, you will have free time for shopping at the pottery factory store, one of the best places to buy authentic Bolesławiec pottery and handmade Polish ceramics. 

During the tour there will also be time to relax and enjoy lunch in a local restaurant inspired by the regional culinary traditions of Lower Silesia.

On the return journey to Wrocław, you will visit the remarkable Church of Peace in Jawor, one of the most important UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Poland. Built in the 17th century during a time of religious conflict in Europe, the church is considered one of the largest timber-framed religious buildings in the world. Constructed entirely from wood, clay and straw under strict political restrictions, it remains an extraordinary masterpiece of Baroque architecture and Protestant heritage.
