Szklarska Poreba, in German Schreiberhau, is one of the most important Polish places in the Giant Mountains and a center of tourism. The place lies between the northern slope of the Giant Mountains and the eastern foothills of the Jizera Mountains.

Hiking

Larger town on the Kamienna river. Lots of tourist stalls, with all sorts of local things, smoked cheese, sausage, precious stones. But there is also a lot of junk to see.
The disadvantage is the enormous car traffic through the main streets, which is why caution is always required.

More about the story:
Schreiberhau, whose place name refers to the medieval clearing, was first mentioned in 1366 as Schribirshau and in 1372 referred to as Schreibershow. It belonged to the Duchy of Schweidnitz-Jwor, which came under the Crown of Bohemia in 1368.
