Kudowa-Zdr\u00f3j\/Kar\u0142\u00f3w – Poland<\/strong>
\n3rd \u2013 23rd September 2018<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summary of the project:<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Our project refers to the first edition of the project – Eco-volunteers carried out successfully in 2017. Again, together with the Sto\u0142owe Mountains National Park, we would like to invite 16 volunteers from 6 European countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Lithuania, Italy, Spain and engage them in pro-ecological activities.
\nAs the Foundation for the Development of Local Initiatives Qdowa, we implement a tourist-ecological project „Move to the Table Mountains“ and we are looking for people willing to join.
\nAs a part of our project, we will be carrying out (on 21th September 2018) the fourth edition of the „Mountains are OK“ project, where more than 200 students from nearby schools attended last year. They traveled the mountain trails from their villages to the little Eco-town located in the heart of the Stolowe Mountains in Kar\u0142\u00f3w, collecting trash along the way. A bonfire with sausages, a special guest and an ecological workshop awaited them.<\/p>\n

The aim of the „Eco-volunteers“ project is to involve volunteers from European countries in local educational and environmental activities and to show the global nature of the challenges facing us in the field of ecology.
\nInvolvement of a group of international volunteers will bring more interest to young people with the „Mountains are OK“ campaign, which will be held for the fourth time in the Table Mountain National Park. Volunteers will bring new ideas and actions into it, allow them to conduct multi-cultural ecological workshops that show the ecological problems of today’s Europe and will also affect local decision-makers. Thanks to the analysis of the litter state of the National Park and its presentation, the authorities of the communes in which the National Park is located will contribute to paying more attention to the problem of litter and ecology.<\/p>\n

Kudowa Zdr\u00f3j is a health resort situated in the Sudety Mountains. It is one of the oldest resorts not only in Poland but also in Europe with the tradition of health and sanatorium dating from the 17th century. Kudowa offers a great number of permanent and seasonal tourist attractions for you in this wonderful place. Its location in a valley surrounded by forests provide natural therapeutic values.<\/p>\n

The neighbourhood of the Sto\u0142owe Mountains, picturesque bicycle and tourist routes, unique museums, cultural facilities, modern sport facilities and location by the border with the Czech Republic make Kudowa Zdr\u00f3j attractive for both health resort visitors and touts.<\/p>\n

Over the years of its history Kudowa Zdr\u00f3j has been visited by many famous personalities, for example the Prussian King Wilhelm III with the family, the English Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Polish writer Bruno Schultz, Marshal Iwan Koniew and last but not least Karol Wojty\u0142a, the later John Paul II.
\nIn 2007 Kudowa Zdr\u00f3j hosted \u201cThe Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian\u201d movie crew with the starring children and the director Andrew Adams while the scenes were shot in the neighbouring Errant Rocks. The famous director of such films as for example \u201cShrek\u201d planted a tree in a special alley next to Kudowa Aqua Park.<\/p>\n

Kar\u0142\u00f3w is a village located in the center of the Table Mountains at the foot of Szczeliniec Wielki. Its history dates back to 1730 when a settlement was established around the forestry lodge. Already in the 19th century Kar\u0142\u00f3w became a significant tourist destination thanks to the initiative of Francis Pablo, who adapted Szczeliniec to visit. In recognition of his merit in 1813, he was appointed a royal guide. After the construction \u201eRoad of one hundred curves\u201d from Radk\u00f3w to Kudowa, Kar\u0142\u00f3w became a tourist center in the Table Mountains.<\/p>\n

Sto\u0142owe Mountains also known as the Table Mountains (Polish: G\u00f3ry Sto\u0142owe, Czech: Stolov\u00e9 hory, German: Heuscheuergebirge) are a 42-kilometre (26 mi)-long mountain range in Poland and the Czech Republic, part of the Sudetes.
\nThe Polish part of the range is protected as the Sto\u0142owe Mountains National Park. The highest peak of the range is Szczeliniec Wielki at 919 m (3,015 ft).<\/p>\n

The range is formed of sandstone and, as the only one in Poland, presents plated structure with sheer mountain ledges. Among the tourist attractions there are two massifs: Szczeliniec Wielki on which the labyrinth, and Skalniak on which the labyrinth B\u0142\u0119dne Ska\u0142y (Errant Rocks). There are several notable rock formations, among them Kwoka („Hen“), Wielb\u0142\u0105d („Camel“), Ma\u0142pa („Monkey“), G\u0142owa Konia („Horse Head“), Fotel Pradziada („Great Grandfather’s Armchair“).<\/p>\n
