The Miejska Trasa Turystyczna (Town Tourist Route) was marked in 2006 to help visitors and tourists find their way around. It covers 22 notable points.

What gives Międzylesie its character?
The Kolejowa viewpoint is a specific stop for anyone who wants to include town views and a vista of the Śnieżnik Massif in their travel plans. The view takes in both the town and the southern ridge running along the border. Those interested in the landscape and orientation will find a different focus here than at the historic buildings.
A stone sculptural group near the railway station is another distinctive sight in the town. This Baroque work dates from 1719 and depicts the Holy Trinity and the Coronation of Mary. Alongside the viewpoint, it offers a separate cultural aspect of Międzylesie: a religious work of art from the early 18th century.
Which historic buildings and details are worth seeing?
St. Barbara’s Church was built in 1491. After the original Gothic structure was destroyed, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1670–1671. Parts of its original form remain, including pointed-arch windows and the portal. Architecture enthusiasts can see in these details both its Gothic origins and its later Baroque reconstruction. Corpus Christi Church is also one of Międzylesie’s sights; other destinations include the castle and the town hall.
The Neo-Gothic town hall dates from 1881, stands beside the church, and serves as the seat of the town and municipal office. A votive column topped with a figure of the Virgin Mary stands in the market square. Another historic detail can be found at the former home of the Ludwig merchant family: the plain stone portal and the family coat of arms on the façade date from the late 18th century and have been preserved.
The “Siedmiu Braci” (“Seven Brothers”) weavers’ houses are a group of wooden and brick buildings with arcades, built at the end of the 18th century. Two buildings from the group have survived. The name refers to the traditional group; when choosing what interests you, the key distinction is their architecture compared with the churches, town hall, and stone memorials.
Which routes fit your travel plans?
The Miejska Trasa Turystyczna and the designated hiking route are different ways to explore Międzylesie and its surroundings. The town route, marked in 2006, covers 22 notable points and was created for visitors and tourists to the town and municipality. The hiking route, by contrast, has specific start and end points: in the stated direction, it runs from Międzylesie, ul. Sobieskiego, to Boboszów PKS (border crossing), and is listed as taking 2 hours and 5 minutes. If you plan to include trails in your trip, you can take these details into account without treating the two routes as the same offering.
