The oldest city of Western Pomerania
Kolobrzeg is one of the most beautiful and oldest cities in Western Pomerania. Exactly in 1000, King Boleslaw the Brave founded a bishopric – from that time began a period of splendor and development of the resort.
Perfectly preserved monuments are remnants of historical events. But Kolobrzeg is primarily a well-known spa. Thanks to its unique microclimate rich in iodine, vast deposits of mud and brine, and the magnificent seaside location, this is the perfect place for all those who want a healthy rest.
