Rent a Car in Downtown Walbrzych

Wałbrzych is a city in southwestern Poland in Lower Silesia, known for its coal mines and the magnificent Książ Castle – one of Poland's largest. With one rental company in the center, you can explore the entire Sudetes region on your own. The city is located approximately 70 km southwest of Wrocław via road DK35.

Książ Castle is just 3 km from Wałbrzych's center and is a must-see. Kłodzko Valley with its spa towns such as Polanica-Zdrój and Kudowa-Zdrój is reached 40–60 km south. The Czech border at Náchod is approximately 80 km away.

Book your rental car well in advance as there is only one rental company in Wałbrzych. The roads in the Sudetes can be winding and steep – choose a car with good engine power if you plan mountain trips. Visit Książ Castle early in the morning to avoid the worst tourist crowds during summer.

How long does it take to drive from Wałbrzych to Wrocław? Approximately 70 km via DK35, about 1 hour 10 minutes under normal conditions. Can I drive the rental car to the Czech Republic?

It depends on the rental company's terms – ask specifically whether cross-border driving to the Czech Republic is permitted before booking. Are there parking facilities at Książ Castle? Yes, there is a large parking lot at the castle approximately 3 km from Wałbrzych's center, with a fee during high season.
