Dobków

Dobków is a classic Sudeten chain village located along the valley of a mountain stream, which simultaneously marks the boundary between the Kaczawskie Mountains and Foothills. It is very charmingly located, surrounded by hills with plenty of forests and cultivated fields. Just climb a bit on the slopes surrounding it to reveal truly picturesque views to your eyes. The village is over 800 years old, as the first mentions of it come from 1203. It was founded by settlers from Franconia and was managed by the Cistercians. For this reason, it was a Catholic enclave in a region mainly inhabited by Protestants. A characteristic remnant of those times are numerous chapels scattered around the village and vents in the shape of crosses often found in farm buildings. This is very characteristic of Dobków and rarely seen in Lower Silesia, as such elements had no application in the Protestant tradition. The village was inhabited by up to 1000 people, and today there are about 500 inhabitants.
