Kletno is located in the Glatzer Schneegebirge in the northern foothills of the 1425 m high Glatzer Schneeberg . To the southwest is the 1205 m high Black Mountain (Czarna Góra) . Neighboring places are Stara Morawa and Młynowiec in the northeast, Bolesławów and Nowa Morawa in the southeast, Kamienica in the south and the no longer existing colony Klecienko (Neu Klessengrund) in the southwest. To the northwest are Janowa Góra and Sienna .
history
Klessengrund was created at the end of the 16th century on a state-owned forest land. The purpose of the foundation was to promote mining for various metals, which is why the neighboring villages of Wilhelmsthal, Mohrau, Mühlbach, Kamnitz and Johannesberg were created at the same time. They are all in the southeast of the County of Glatz and were owned by the Bohemian Chamber . Together with other chamber villages in the Landeck district, Klessengrund was acquired in 1684 by the Governor of Glatz, Michael Wenzel von Althann , who formed the Seitenberg rule from the acquired villages .
After the Silesian Wars , Klessengrund and the County of Glatz fell to Prussia in 1763 with the Peace of Hubertusburg . After the reorganization of Prussia, it belonged to the province of Silesia from 1815 and was initially incorporated into the district of Glatz . In 1818 it was reclassified to the district of Habelschwerdt , with which it remained connected until 1945. Since 1874 the rural community of Klessengrund belonged to the Kamnitz district and from 1908 to the Wilhelmsthal district. At the beginning of the 19th century, the then owner of the Seitenberg estate, the royal counselor Franz Bernhard von Mutius, established the Neu Klessengrund colony on Altwasser and Gellenau . Since the end of the 19th century, Klessengrund has developed into a popular recreational and winter sports location. In 1939 240 inhabitants were counted.
As a result of the Second World War , Klessengrund, like almost all of Silesia, fell to Poland and was renamed Kletno . The German residents were expelled. Some of the newly settled residents were displaced from eastern Poland . Subsequently, the number of residents decreased significantly, which resulted in numerous houses falling into disrepair. From 1948 to 1953, uranium was searched for in Kletno on behalf of the Soviet authorities. A stalactite cave labyrinth was discovered above Kletno in 1966, in which the bones of Ice Age animals and traces of human settlement were found. After conservation work, part of the cave was opened for viewing in 1983. As a result, Kletno again gained tourist importance. In the years 1975-1998 Kletno belonged to the Wałbrzych Voivodeship ( Waldenburg ).
