Brusek, Mountain summit and scenic viewpoint in southern Poland.
Wetzstein Kamm is a mountain summit in southern Poland with viewpoints overlooking the surrounding landscape. The route climbs through forested slopes and opens onto high ground where you can see valleys and distant ridges.
The saddle between Brousek and Smrk holds the historic tripoint of Moravia, Silesia and Kłodzko Land, marked by two shelters that the state forest service later removed. The summit itself carries no marked trail; walkers reach it along the border strip from the Przełęcz u Trzech Granic or by a forest path from the Brousek spring.
The saddle between Brousek and Smrek holds the historic tripoint of Moravia, Silesia and Kłodzko Land, marked today by the state border; two shelters there were removed by the state forest service. Czech green and blue trails from Branná and Staré Město pass about 500 m east of the summit, and the name Brousek means whetstone, matching the quartzite worked on the western slope.
The ascent follows marked paths with some elevation change, so proper footwear and water are important. Hiking is best during dry weather, as slopes can become slippery when wet.
On the western side of the rocky summit there are traces of former quartzite quarrying, and about 0.5 km of the road to Bielice in the Biały Spław valley was paved with the same stone. The summit lies on the continental watershed divide.
