We decided to go to the highest peak of Sudety - Śnieżka on a beautiful September day. We went from Karpacz (Biała Jar) by the red trail through the Łomniczki Kocioł and the Silesian House Mountain Chalet to Śnieżka. From the top, continue along the red trail through Czarna Kopa to Sowia Przełęcz. We went to Karpacz along the black trail, and we returned to the White Jar along the green trail. A very scenic route - distance: 17.5 km; walk time 6:15; total approach: 1055 meters; total descends 1063 meters.
Entry to the red trail in the Karkonowski National Park and of course the admission fee ... I am not an enthusiast of such a solution to put money on every path and charge for entering the forest ...

I recommend the red trail from Karpacz through Kocioł Łomniczki to Śnieżka - beautiful views and few people.

View of Śnieżka from the vicinity of the Dom Śląski mountain shelter. This photo clearly shows the Śnieżka Death Couloir (Rynna Śmierci) - a gully that cuts through the Jubilee Route leading to the Łomniczka Cirque. It starts near the observatory building at the summit and is visible as a distinct line running diagonally to the left. This is a very dangerous place, especially in winter when the slopes of Śnieżka are covered with ice and snow. A fall near the summit can result in a slide down to the Łomniczka Cirque.
