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!

West view from Śnieżka

Highlight • Viewpoint

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...

Schlesierhaus and Sněžka

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Great restaurant with a view of the Schneekoppe. You might want to use the toilet here again, as the WC at the cable car on the Schneekoppe is not open all year round.

February 20, 2026,Von Krummhübel auf die Schneekoppe (DAV Na-Tour)

With the long-awaited sunshine, we took the lift from Karpacz (Krummhübel) up to a sub-peak of the Schneekoppe (Śnieżka).

From the Schlesierhaus (Silesian Lodge), we began our ascent to the summit of the Schneekoppe in temperatures around -10°C and gusts of up to 70 km/h.

July 5, 2024,#116🧦🎒: 🇵🇱 Schneekoppe mittelschwer: Aufstieg blau/Abstieg rot inkl. Kirche Wang

We recommend parking in the car park in Karpacz next to the Wang church and following the markings to this very interesting church. A visit to the church is a must. The audio tour takes about 10 minutes.

The entrance to the national park is right next door. Please pay the tourist tax and...keep your receipt☝🏼It will be checked later …

Actually it was one round. The starting point was also the ending point - a parking lot where you can stand for 30 slots a day. Then it's a bit uphill to the cable car. The dog is allowed to come along and it worked out great. Once at the top, you walk the last few meters up to the …

Beautiful hike with many beautiful views and highlights.

If you are looking forward to a little refreshment on the summit, you will unfortunately be disappointed. Below the Sněžka there is a hut, the Schlesierhaus, with unbelievably bad offers and service. Only Polish is spoken and they don't even try to serve other guests or explain what's on offer. On the …
