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.

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!

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.

May 14, 2023,"Taufe" - Meine erste Bergwanderung 🥾 🥾 🎒 🤗🫶

My first mountain hike 🥾 🥾 🎒. I'm happy that I decided to do it 🤗 Great hike from Karpacz to Sněžka. It was very exhausting and the route was really very demanding. 🗻🫶 it was definitely worth it 👍👍

There are another three kilometers to walk to the valley station of the cable car. Otherwise a very nice tour that starts at the top. 👍😁

A classic from Karpacz to the Sněžka and via the Academia and Teichbaude back to Karpacz. Worthwhile but a bit crowded on weekends. Very nice views of the Polish plains but also of the Czech Giant Mountains and the Jesten near Liberec.
