Vysoká pláň, Mountain summit in Karkonosze National Park, Poland

Vysoká pláň is a mountain summit at 1,497 meters in the Karkonosze range, positioned between the peaks of Vysoké kolo and Violík. A reconstructed station called Wawel provides shelter and refreshments for hikers who reach the top.

In 1837 a hut with refreshments and two beds was built here, the first Karkonosze building intended solely for tourists. After 1858 a stone house with a restaurant for 50 and 21 beds followed. From 1896 to 1897 the Schaffgotsch family had the Schneegrubenbaude hotel built, with a viewing tower and 44 double rooms.

The summit's rock formation is known as Krakonošova kazatelna in Czech, Czarcia Ambona in Polish and Rübezahlkanzel in German, all meaning the giant's or devil's pulpit. The former hotel below it was nicknamed Wawel for its resemblance to Kraków's royal castle.

The summit is reached on marked trails: the red-marked Polish-Czech Friendship Path along the main ridge, or the yellow-marked route from Labská bouda. The highest natural point, the granite Krakonošova kazatelna at 1,497 m, is climbed by steps and drops over 100 m vertically into the Velká Sněžná jáma.

The summit's highest point, at 1,497 m, is the granite rock formation Krakonošova kazatelna, also called Rübezahlkanzel or Czarcia Ambona, the highest rock group in the Karkonosze. Steps lead to the top, and the cliff drops over 100 m vertically into the Velká Sněžná jáma cirque.
