Mountain Peaks & Panoramic Views

The Krkonoše range, spanning the Czech-Polish border, contains the highest peaks of the Sudetes. This collection highlights the geological diversity of the Giant Mountains, from the granite tors of Słonecznik and Harrachovy kameny to the glacial cirques of Studničná hora. It includes the futuristic high-mountain observatory on Śniežka, the 30-meter Labský waterfall, and the steep ridges of Kozí hřbety. These locations offer panoramic views over deep glacial valleys like Labský důl and the surrounding Bohemian and Silesian ridges.
