Králický Sněžník, Mountain summit at Czech Republic-Poland border.
Description
Králický Sněžník rises to 1,425 meters (4,675 feet), forming the highest summit in the Western Sudetes along the border between Poland and Czech Republic. The ridge extends across both countries and offers wide views over forested slopes and open crest areas.
History
A stone mountain lodge with the Kaiser Wilhelm Tower stood on the Silesian side from 1899 until its demolition in 1973 due to structural instability. The facility served hikers and visitors as a landmark and shelter for over seven decades.
Culture
The name refers to the long winter months when snow covers the summit for up to eight months each year. This characteristic shapes the appearance and perception of the mountain in the region.
Practical
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, including the European Long Distance Path E3 and the Eisenach-Budapest Mountain Trail. Routes pass through forested areas and over open ridge sections with varying gradients.
