Ridge Trail Between Sněžka and Tafelstein

Highlight • Trail

Enchanting path lined with cripples over the Krkonoše ridge. In clear weather great view to Lower Silesia (left) and Bohemia (right). Mystic in fog.

Śnieżka (Schneekoppe) Summit

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!

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.

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.
