A city of cowboys with a view of the Giant Mountains

Although over 70% of the Karkonosze area belongs to our southern neighbors, on the Polish side there are several wonderful attractions that the Czechs can envy us. And it's not just about beautiful hiking trails.

Attractions of Karpacz

Apart from Śnieżka, the highest peak in the Karkonosze Mountains, you can climb Kopa or Smogornia and climb the surrounding rocks (including Raven Rocks, Pilgrims, Słonecznik). A moment of attention should also be given to the Wild Waterfall, located near the lower cableway station to Kopa. It is the dam that was built at the beginning of the 20th century to subdue the Łomnica river, a river that has repeatedly shown what it can do when its dammed waters gain speed.

Speaking of interesting places in Karpacz, it is impossible to ignore the medieval Wang Temple , transferred to the Karkonosze Mountains from Norway .
