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.

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...

Śnieżka (Schneekoppe) Summit

Highlight • Summit

1603 m asl, in favorable weather conditions the visibility is 200 km.

Unfortunately, only the kiosk on the Czech side is still open.

The Sächsische Zeitung reported on December 28, 2021 that the restaurant on the Polish side should reopen in 2025.

December 2, 2021,🇵🇭Schneekoppe von Petzer aus

That was a tough tour today, miracle winter magic in the Giant Mountains. Around and at the summit today there was a lot of hostile wind. Descent in the sunshine. A dream tour with struggle and enjoyment.
The Grödel have proven themselves on the last 100 m, the stairs are pretty crusty.

The road is well maintained and the route is gentle, so it was easy to climb. However, the remaining snow was unexpected. I forgot the crampons, so it was very dangerous. I slipped and fell and was injured. Don't lick Haruyama in Europe. The road is well maintained and the route is gentle, so it was easy to climb. However, …

May 24, 2023,Von Pec pod Sněžkou zum höchsten Berg Tschechiens🚶‍♀️🐕😍

It started in the most beautiful sunshine, always steeply uphill. From about 1,300 meters it was time to keep walking in the clouds. Unfortunately, the high fog did not move at all, so visibility was zero. But even in fog it was spectacular.
You could save yourself the way back and use the cable car, but you wouldn't get past …

April 26, 2022,⚠️ Schneekoppengipfel 🏔 dangerous 🥾

🏔 At 6:00 in the morning we started from Pec pod Snezkou. The first kilometers of the ascent were difficult. However, this got better with every step. Arrived at the middle station there was a small breakfast (ice coffee and a chocolate bar) 🤣 Strengthened, the summit of the Schneekoppe was now firmly in our heads as another stage destination. …

Steadily uphill, rock and rock... great tour, easy to walk, but be careful... rock and rock. Don't stumble 🤔 every step is a quarter of a meter higher... the panoramic view is wonderful, the wind is frosty.

September 5, 2021,Blick auf die Schneekoppe - Runde von Pec pod Sněžkou [05.09.21]

The Schneekoppe is always worth a hike. And not to be despised as a small training mountain.
And that's why he was nibbled a second time today.
This time from the Czech side. And what can I say, it was fun. Very much, especially because it was a wonderfully beautiful late summer day. ☀ 😊

On 26.05. we now went on the king's stage in the Giant Mountains and for us the highest climb up to that point.
The starting point is Pec pod Sněžkou.
From here it's easy to walk past the cable car along the Úpa.
Past the Großmannsbaude, after the small chapel, the real fun begins.
From now on, everyone goes at …
