Bridge Over the Stream in Karkonoski Park Narodowy

Highlight • Bridge

Here is a favorite place for picture taking. The small bridge hangs over the river and the surroundings are very beautiful. In good weather it should look even better.

Trail through Lomniczka Cathedral

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A wonderful mountain trail with fantastic views of Śnieżka. An extraordinary experience. But remember to exercise caution here. These are real mountains.

View of Śnieżka

Highlight • Viewpoint

The boss in the Giant Mountains, the Czech Republic and Poland share the summit, while you can walk from the Polish side, you can comfortably take the cable car from the Czech side.

West view from Śnieżka

Highlight • Viewpoint

Actually, the Šnezka looks like an oversized pile of stones. But once you're at the top, you can enjoy the fantastic view all around. As long as there are no …

Sněžka Meteorological Observatory

Highlight • Monument

The history of meteorological observations here on Śnieżka begins in 1824, but the first observatory was here since 1900. This one is named after Tadeusz Hołdys, who directed it for many years. Beautiful views!

May 24, 2025,🇵🇱 Schneekope... Top of the Day!...

Final hike to Snezka... from the bottom, we took the chairlift to Kopa, then to the Silesian Hut, and then up to the summit. We then descended along the Jubileum Trail back to the Silesian Hut, and then continued on foot to the car...
It was gigantic in fairly alpine terrain, but the path was relatively comfortable with large cobblestones. …

Nice walk with children from the Koppe to Snieska and back down to Karpacz along the red path. Challenging, but manageable with a 5 and 8 year old child.

October 28, 2021,Wanderung zur Schneekoppe

The starting point was the cable car in Karpacz, so we immediately gained altitude. (50 zloty one way)
Once at the top we followed the red hiking trail to the Schlesinger Bauda. Then the right steep path up to the Schneekoppe.
We had great weather, great views. Upstairs there is a small chapel and a post office with a snack …

Very nice tour, unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. 😅 Repetition is required!!!

May 27, 2025,Entlang des Schlesischen Weges nach Sněžka: Nationalpark Riesengebirge

I definitely recommend doing the tour in reverse due to the condition of the trail. It's very beautiful up to the Silesian House at the foot of Sněžka. The rest of the route was incredibly crowded—most people probably took the cable car up and only walked the short distance to the summit.

May 29, 2023,Kleine Runde auf die Schneekoppe 🏔🌤

My phone always reminds me of what I did that day in previous years. And interestingly, for the last two years, for @Nika🌳 and I, May 29 has been themed "Mountain" with "...Snow..." in the name. 😂 Two years ago and last year we went to the high Schneeberg and so the Schneekoppe fit perfectly into the scheme today. 😁
