Wambierzyce
Wambierzyce is a village and popular Catholic pilgrimage site in south-western Poland, in Gmina Radków, Kłodzko County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
It is situated at an altitude of 370–410 m in the picturesque Cedron valley on the eastern slopes of the Table Mountains.
Worth seeing
The hulking yellow church on the main square is always full of pilgrims. It contains the popular icon Our Lady of Wambierzyce. Starting on the church grounds, continuing across the street and finishing on a hill overlooking the town are life-sized representations of Calvary. Follow signs to the Szopka- a collection of tiny, mechanized scenes built and painted entirely by hand.

Where to eat
There are not many places to eat in Wambierzyce. Karczma on the main street is quite a good one.
