Waterfall in the Giant Mountains

Highlight • Waterfall

27.7 km

The highest mountain in the city is the 1,362 m high Szrenica (Hedgehog). From the bottom you can take two chair lifts to a height of about 1,000 m, the rest you have to walk. The motto of the day is "20 zloty all day" (parking fee). For me the most beautiful place in the area. And in August 2024 "30 zloty all day".

Maximilian-Maria-Kolbe Church

Beautiful, simple church with a wooden ceiling, dedicated to the Polish Franciscan Minor Maximilian Maria Kolbe. He is revered by the Catholic Church as a saint and martyr.

Szklarska Poręba Górna railway station

Highlight • Rest Area

Here you can park well to break into various tours, e.g. to the Hohenstein. But why not take the train to Sklarska Poreba / Schreiberhau, e.g. from Jelenia Gora / Hirschberg?

View of Szrenica (Reifträger)

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 1,362 meters, the Szrenica (German: Reifträger) is a prominent peak in the western part of the Giant Mountains and is part of their main ridge. Since the border between Poland and the Czech Republic runs south of the main ridge at this point, the peak lies on Polish territory. Like the peaks of many other mountains in the Giant Mountains, the peak consists of the remains of ancient granite rocks that form impressive scree slopes. Interesting rock formations can be found on its slopes, including the Horse Headstones (Końskie Łby) and the Pig Stones (Trzy Świnki).

The Szrenica is the local mountain of Szklarska Poręba (Schreiberhau) and the center of the Szrenica Ski Arena, the largest ski area in the Polish part of the Giant Mountains. A two-seater chairlift leads from the town to the summit in two stages. At the summit are the Schronisko na Szrenicy (Reifträgerbaude) and a meteorological observation station of the University of Wrocław. On the pristine Szrenicka (Hala Szrenicka) border meadow on the northwest slope of the Reifträger, at an altitude of 1,200 meters, stands the PTTK mountain hut "Schronisko na Hali Szrenickiej," which roughly translates as "Hostel on the Reifträger Meadow," the successor to the "Neue Schlesische Baude."
