Highlight • Waterfall

A small basin from which the water flows from about 1.5 m height. Certainly impressive at a higher level

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.

Actually, the Šnezka looks like an oversized pile of stones. But once you're at the top, you can enjoy the fantastic view all around. As long as there are no clouds. Of course. 😎 A little warning: It can happen that a lot of hikers find the Šnezka great...

Śnieżka (Schneekoppe) Summit

Highlight • Summit

1603 m asl, in favorable weather conditions the visibility is 200 km.

Unfortunately, only the kiosk on the Czech side is still open.

The Sächsische Zeitung reported on December 28, 2021 that the restaurant on the Polish side should reopen in 2025.

After my short tour to the Schneekoppe yesterday, Stefanie and I wanted to go to the summit for sunrise today. It started in the middle of the night – at first it seemed like we were all alone. But the higher we climbed, the more we realized: that wasn't true at all.

It started in the most beautiful sunshine, always steeply uphill. From about 1,300 meters it was time to keep walking in the clouds. Unfortunately, the high fog did not move at all, so visibility was zero. But even in fog it was spectacular.
You could save yourself the way back and use the cable car, but you wouldn't get past …

April 26, 2022,⚠️ Schneekoppengipfel 🏔 dangerous 🥾

🏔 At 6:00 in the morning we started from Pec pod Snezkou. The first kilometers of the ascent were difficult. However, this got better with every step. Arrived at the middle station there was a small breakfast (ice coffee and a chocolate bar) 🤣 Strengthened, the summit of the Schneekoppe was now firmly in our heads as another stage destination. …

The road is well maintained and the route is gentle, so it was easy to climb. However, the remaining snow was unexpected. I forgot the crampons, so it was very dangerous. I slipped and fell and was injured. Don't lick Haruyama in Europe. The road is well maintained and the route is gentle, so it was easy to climb. However, …

May 31, 2025,Rauf zur Schneekoppe und wieder zurück 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Today's destination was the Schneekoppe, and we set off at 9 a.m. under a bright blue sky. As we discovered after 2 kilometers, there was also a charity climb taking place today. So the route was pretty busy today, including many people with disabilities (leg prostheses, some with all their limbs replaced by prostheses). My huge respect goes to these …

Of course, we would have wished for a little more sun. But I wouldn't say we were unlucky. On the contrary, precisely because the cloud cover only opened up for a few seconds at a time, these moments became all the more special. When you suddenly find yourself above the passing clouds, the sun slowly making its way through and …

September 5, 2021,Blick auf die Schneekoppe - Runde von Pec pod Sněžkou [05.09.21]

The Schneekoppe is always worth a hike. And not to be despised as a small training mountain.
And that's why he was nibbled a second time today.
This time from the Czech side. And what can I say, it was fun. Very much, especially because it was a wonderfully beautiful late summer day. ☀ 😊
