Wild Waterfall (Dziki Wodospad)

Highlight • Waterfall

A beautiful waterfall, which was created by damming the waters of the Łomnica River. There is something to see. It is not far from Łomnica, so it is easy to get there!

Schlesierhaus (Śląski Dom)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A beautifully situated mountain hut under Śnieżka, on the Polish-Czech border. The hut is located at an altitude of 1,400 meters above sea level. There are plenty of places to stay, but as you can imagine, this place is very popular, so book in advance. Meals and drinks are, of course, available, so everything is as it should be.

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.

The Saint Lawrence Chapel is the oldest building at the summit of Sněžka. It was founded in the 17th century by Count Leopold von Schaffgotsch.

Every year on August 10th, pilgrimages to the summit of Sněžka take place for the St. Lawrence Festival, with numerous clergy and pilgrims.

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!

Strzecha Akademicka Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

There are 110 beds spread throughout the house, and even a single or double room costs no more than ten euros. The Hampelbaude - named after its first host, a German named Hempel or Hampel - is considered the oldest shelter in the Giant Mountains. Many illustrious guests have stayed here. Goethe is also said to have slept on hay in the Hampelbaude before climbing the Koppe accompanied by his servant at dawn on September 23, 1790 to see the sunrise.
