Sněžka - queen of the Giant Mountains

There is also a vantage point on the summit, from where you can enjoy the panorama of the Karkonosze and the Czech Republic. It’s worth mentioning that the Great Szyszak is one of the most attractive places for lovers of mountain photography.

Labský Peak - a scenic hike

Labský Peak (1472 meters above sea level) is another Karkonosze peak worth conquering. It is located on the Polish-Czech border and offers beautiful views of both countries. Climbing to Labský Peak is not particularly difficult, which makes it an excellent destination for families with children and people just beginning their adventure with the mountains. Also worth mentioning is the Elbe Waterfall, located at the foot of the peak and one of the biggest attractions in the Giant Mountains.
