クラデツクラーロヴェの峠・トップ8

You have to be careful on the road, because there are gutters and the descent is dangerous, it is better to go to the Czech Republic.

Great driveway, you can drive on it from both sides.

It is located in the Karkonosze National Park (Krkonoše National Park). Caution: The northern ascent is very steep. However, it is car-free, as the north side is closed to traffic.

One of the variants of the ascent from Podgórzyn to Przełęcz Karkonoska. The road through Borowice is longer than through Przesieka, it is 12.5 kilometres long, and the elevation gain is 840 m. The average gradient is 6.8%, reaching 20% towards the end. Przełęcz Karkonoska is located at an altitude of 1,198 metres. In the second part of the ascent, the surface is not in very good condition, so it is worth considering a descent to the Czech side.

Over 13 kilometers long, 600 meters of elevation and beautiful Karkonosze views. Okraj Pass is located on the Polish-Czech border. Interesting facts: every year during the Bałtyk - Karkonosze Tour, cyclists compete here in an individual ride.

Stamp no. 7 on the 2024 stamp card. It's MB's highest point, ever. And ever will be, as it's the highest paved road in hundreds of kilometers around. Paved doesn't mean perfect asphalt however! There's some light gravel bits as well as some rough asphalt. Therefore: take care on the descent. Photo will follow.

If you visit Mala Upa, definitely stop by this place. You can paint a metal mug there, make a beautiful bracelet or small jewelry, or try to make something out of glass.

Nice area, nice view and end of a long climb
