Wysoka Kopa

Highlight • Summit

Very beautiful panorama in all directions. The transmitter station does not offer any food, toilets or trash cans.
The wind whistles really hard here.

So: pack a windbreaker, hold on to your trash and, above all, take it with you.

Sausteine (Trzy Świnki / Svinské Kameny) rock formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Hiking trail between the rocks, 👌😎 Unbeatable as a photo motif. If you prefer to hike to the Baude close to nature, then the small side path.
