Bridge Over Szrenicki Potok

Highlight • Bridge

The wet meadow on the northern slope of the Giant Mountains is crossed by many small, nameless water veins that flow together to form the Szrenicka Potok. This first heads north, then northeast at the lower end of the Reifträgerloch, before flowing into the Kochel near Szklarska Poręba at an altitude of 585 m above sea level.

Cuckoo Rocks

Located around 1100 meters high below the Old Silesian Chalet. There is a small rest area there. The so-called pendulum is interesting.

Twarożnik (Quark Stones)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Twarożnik (German Quarksteine, Czech Tvarožník) is the Polish name of a rock formation made of granite in the western part of the Silesian ridge of the Giant Mountains in Poland and the Czech Republic. It is located exactly on the Czech-Polish border at 1320 m altitude.
The quark stones consist of a heap of huge granite blocks. On the largest is a single, flat stone, a so-called rocking stone, which has emerged as the final result of the Wollsack weathering. The shape of the strongly rounded boulders is reminiscent of simple, traditional cheese making. Quark must be done first. The curd is stuffed into a cloth, the corners of which are folded and hung in this pillow-like shape to drip. The quark or a kind of cottage cheese is ready as soon as the mass is sufficiently dehydrated. Especially the Czech name contains references to the production. The word "tvář" stands for appearance, gestalt and "ručník" is the word for towel.

August 13, 2025,PL-Polen-Riesengebirge: Von Bergstation Szrenica II nach Szklarska Poręba 250813CE

Today we were very lazy. We took the chairlift from Sklarska Poręba (German: Schreiberhau) to the Szrenica II mountain station, and then walked from the mountain station back to Sklarska Poręba. The tour was truly beautiful. We passed through a beautiful raised bog, had a snack at a mountain hut, and finally made a detour to the Kamieńczyk Waterfall.

Our today's and last major tour.
From Villa Obis turn left towards the town, after 200m left into the forest and follow the paved hiking trail uphill, then the path to the lower station of the chair lift increasingly becomes a narrow trail.
After crossing a stream, it finally flows onto the road to the lift.
Once there and the …

Our hike in the Silesian Sudetenland takes us to Szklarska Poreba/Schreiberhau. A steep climb past the Schreiberhaus winter sports center takes us to the 26-meter-high Zackelfall. How romantic. Wearing a helmet is mandatory before descending into the gorge. As the wearer of the red helmet, Ute promptly crowned me Little Red Riding Hood😂.
And then we continue towards the Neue …

After the lovely city trip to Wroclaw, today we wanted to go up high again on the way back home. The way home took us towards the Giant Mountains, because our goal was the Szrenica, or in German the Reifträger. We started in the ski resort of Szklarska Poręba, where as you drive through all sorts of property owners put …
