Polish Pottery of Boleslawiec and UNESCO Jawor Church of Peace Tour

You will also learn about one of the great Russian military heroes of the Napoleonic wars and how his life ended in this city in 1813. Afterwards, you will discover one of the best local manufacturers of Bolesławiec pottery, where you can observe skilled workers at all of the different stages of production. The ceramic decorations are especially spectacular; each piece is hand made using special stamps with the emblematic peacock's eye pattern. After providing you some time for shopping, we will proceed to a local restaurant reflecting the diverse gastronomic local tradition brought by Polish people after World War II.

On return trip, you will have a chance to see one of the biggest wooden churches in Europe. The outstanding Church of Peace in Jawor was built during the social-political turmoil in the XVII century, when religious wars and confessional persecution arose across Europe. Although it was constructed under very strict regulations, it represents a priceless cultural value and was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 2001.
