Świdnica,
surprising and attractive
Dear Camping friends, welcome to the 54th Europa Rally
In May campers from all over Europe will meet and greet in Świdnica in Poland. The Automobile
Club Sudecki - supported by the beautiful community of Świdnica - has signed for the organisation
of the 54th European Rally.
In August 2013 our delegation has brought a visit to Świdnica and was warmly received at the
Campsite Świdnica. This small, charming and clean campsite (50 pitches) lies on about 2 km from
the city centre, next to the OSIR Sports centre, which the town has foreseen as the rally site. The
campsite offers space to campers who arrive before and want to stay after the rally. The campsite
itself is not in use for the Europa Rallye.
Świdnica (formerly Schweidnitz) is situated from Gorlitz (Zgorgelez) at the German border on about
130 Kilometres south-east in the green Sudecki (formerly Sudetenland) and south-west from
Wroclaw. The city is easily accessible and the OSIR sports centre www.osir.swidnica.pl is well
signposted from all sides. The Rally ground includes: Ice rink (festive hall, were the opening
ceremony and the festive evenings will take place) with pizzeria and parking, 2 football-fields for
approximately 300 pitches, a swimming pool with sunbathing area (about 40 pitches). Depending
on the weather, the swimming pool will - during the rally - be closed to the general public and
available for the rally-participants. The whole site is fenced and the access is via a large lockable gate.
The camp site next to the sports centre has some basic rooms for rent and, there is a sports hotel on
the left, next to the rally site.
The city is enterprising and the inhabitants are proud of their vibrant economy, many sporting events,
music festivals (jazz and classical), street theatre and much more. The town is beautiful with special
attractions: the breath taking Church of Peace (World Inheritance) 1632; cosy colourful terraces,
a beautiful cathedral and a carefully rebuilt town tower, which can be visited.
We are convinced that the 54. Europa Rally in Świdnica has surprising good possibilities and we
hope, that many campers will find their way to this unexpected, attractive and hostile Polish city.
I wish all participants a good and safe trip to Świdnica and I hope to see you there in great numbers.

Between 21st and 25th May 2015 the Town of Świdnica will host European Caravanning Rally. For the
first time in the history of international rallies this unique event will be held in Lower Silesia and it will be
organized by Automobilklub Sudecki a member of Polish Automobile and Motorcycle Association. I am
pleased that it is Świdnica that has been chosen. It is a great pleasure to welcome all caravanning
enthusiasts from Europe to our beautiful town.
The decision to choose Świdnica for the place of the rally as is not coincidental. We can boast an excellent
atmosphere for that kind of tourism. At Świdnica Sport and Recreation Centre there is one of the most
highly regarded campsites in Poland and caravanning is successfully promoted by Camping Caravanning
Klub Świdnica, which is active in our town. What is more, we have planned the tourist, sports and cultural
programme in the way so that all our guests can have a great time while discovering Poland, and Lower
Silesia, Świdnica and its vicinity in particular.
I would like to invite all the participants to make use of the rich offer of excursions arranged for the time of
the rally. Visit Świdnica, take a stroll round the Old Town, and see the Church of Peace – a gem of historical
buildings, or visit The Museum of Old Commerce. It is worth stopping in our beautiful town just for a while,
learning its mysteries and also taking advantage of the offer of our cafés and restaurants.
I wish all the participants of Świdnica Rally fantastic impressions and a nice stay. I hope that you will be
delighted with our region and that your stay in Świdnica will bring you lots of wonderful memories that will
make you visit us again.
With kind regards,
Mayor of Świdnica

Świdnica is an enchanting place located in the heart of Europe, shadowed by the Town Hall Tower
reconstructed in 2012. All visitors approaching the city immediately spot the highest tower of Lower
Silesia, 101.5 meters tall Gothic tower of saint Stanisław and Wacław cathedral. 750 years of traditions
can be notices around the city – the medieval town setting of the Market Square, beautiful tenements
houses presenting a whole bunch of styles and the atmosphere of former merchant town contribute to the
fact that Świdnica is one of the kind town with its unique character. As the capital city of former Duchy
of Świdnica and Jawor, Świdnica was crossed by the most important trade routes as visible in interesting
exhibitions of Merchant Museum created in 1967 in the Town Hall. The church to saint Joseph was fit
in the condensed urban setting by receiving an unusual elliptical shape. The prominent symbol
of Świdnica is the seventeenth-century Church of Peace registered on UNESCO World Heritage List. The
interiors of the wooden church impress with a Baroque decor, especially the unique Baroque organ. The
centre of Świdnica is surrounded by picturesque parks inviting for relax while visiting the city. All the most
interesting beauty spots of the city have been included in a special „Citywalk” branded Prince Route for
visitors. The audio guide in four language versions borrowed from local Tourist Information Centre located
in the Market Place will allow you to plan your sightseeing according to your preferences.
Świdnica is worth visiting not only to visit remarkable and breath-taking architecture, but also
to participate in numerous events. In spring and summer time, citizens and visitors take active part in Film
Directors Festival, open air concerts during Świdnica Feast and Open Theatre Festival. Our guests
throughout the year have a chance to listen to excellent music during Świdnica Jazz Nights as well
as instrumental concerts during the International Bach Festival. Nowadays, Świdnica combines
modernity with charm of medieval town memorabilia.

the metropolitan cathedral church to John the Baptist and
the church to saint Idzi - the oldest building in this part of

panoramas painted under the direction of Jan Styka and
Wojciech Kossak.
Families in Wambierzyce has been built in the place where
in the twelfth century John of Raszewo miraculously
regained his sight praying under a wooden statue of Our
Lady. This event initiated numerous pilgrimages followed
by building the altar and later temples of which only the one
built in the years 1715-1723 survived. To enter this
monumental Baroque basilica you have to climb 56 steps of
a stone staircase. Very interesting are also the Calvary of
Wambierzyce, moving crib, Chapel Museum and above all
the linden wood 28 inch tall figurine of the Virgin Mary.

Mary in Bardo represents a strong Marian devotion with its
roots dating back to thirteenth century due to the wonders

Enthroned Madonna. In the temple you can see one of very
