Itinerary description
|
The second day you walk on Polish territory almost all day. You cross the path of Polish-Czech friendship. Then you are in Poland! You can now decide whether you will conquer the summit, the Sněžka (1602m), or whether you will walk "linea recta" to your second overnight stay. It will largely depend on the current weather conditions and of course the snow condition. If you opt for the top, you have to bridge an extra 450 meters in height. With 1602 meters the Sněžka is the highest mountain in the Czech Republic. The view at the top is well worth the climb!
Poland shows its deep valleys and if you are lucky and the weather is clear you can enjoy beautiful views. Almost at the end of the day trip you look down at once to a frozen mountain lake: Mały Staw (Small Lake). Next to the smaller lake is the accommodation for the coming night: Schronisko Samotnia.
The path of Czech-Polish friendship is marked on the ridge of the Giant Mountains on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland. Each time the border between these two countries is crossed. Both sides of the Giant Mountains offer much attractiveness: the Polish side is steeper and rougher, while the Czech hills are more sloping and greener.
!!Be careful not to take the route towards Biały Jar because that path is closed due to avalanche danger!! If you accidentally take that route you will be sent back by a warning sign and you will therefore walk about 4 km. And that is quite heavy in the snow.
