A full day in the mountains: Śnieżne Stawki and the Schronisko pod Łabskim Szczytem mountain hut

Both variants will give you plenty of fun. Get ready for rocks, streams and mud, and in winter a truly serious mountain challenge.

Variants

When Ścieżka nad Reglami is closed: Czarcia Ambona

+1 h

On days when Ścieżka nad Reglami is closed — usually because of the famous hen running around the Karkonosze, the black grouse — we recommend this route: Drewniana Róża – Wysoki Most – Rozdroże pod Wielkim Szyszakiem – Obniżenie pod Śmielcem – Czarcia Ambona – the traverse of the Łabski Kocioł (Elbe Cirque) – Hala pod Łabskim Szczytem – Schronisko pod Łabskim Szczytem – Wysoki Most – Drewniana Róża. The route is an hour longer and you won't see Śnieżne Stawki, but in return you'll look into the Śnieżne Kotły from above and visit Czarcia Ambona.

Why we recommend it

The route is not technically difficult and is little frequented — even in the summer holidays you may meet only the odd person on it. You can really only expect crowds in the upper part of the trail and at the Schronisko pod Łabskim Szczytem.
