Malý Sněžník, Mountain summit in Králický Sněžník massif, Poland.
Kleiner Schneeberg is a summit in the Králický Sněžník massif at the Poland-Czech border, standing at 1337 meters high. The peak forms part of a continuous ridge that extends across the mountain range.
The mountain has marked the border between Poland and Czech Republic for centuries, serving as a geographical dividing line between these nations. This boundary role has shaped the region's history significantly.
Local communities from both Poland and Czech Republic maintain hiking trails across the mountain, preserving traditional mountain recreation practices.
Multiple marked paths lead to the summit, with red trails on the eastern slopes and blue trails on the western side available for visitors. The routes pass through different forest areas and offer varying difficulty levels.
Rainfall on the eastern slopes eventually reaches the Black Sea region through the Morava River, while western slopes drain toward the Baltic Sea via Nysa Kłodzka. This makes the summit a major watershed dividing point.
