The highest peak under the protection of the Karkonosze National Park is Śnieżka (1602 m above sea level), which rises above Karpacz . At the other end of the range, Szrenica (1,362 m above sea level) dominates over Szklarska Poręba . Both peaks can be reached by cable cars. Poland shares the Karkonosze Mountains with the Czech Republic , on the side of which lies most of the range. An extensive network of shelters and trails allows you to plan both longer and shorter trips. In winter, for those who want to ride on one or two boards, there are ski slopes and areas ideal for skiing.
