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."
