Śmielec, Mountain summit in Giant Mountains, Poland.

Standing at 1,424 meters above sea level, Śmielec features rock fields extending down the northeastern slope between Veilchenstein and Mannsteine peaks.

The mountain's original Polish name was Wielki Szyszak, but it changed after World War II following references from German cartographic documents.

A memorial stands 400 meters east of the mountain, marking where Czech journalist Richard Kalman lost his life in a snowstorm in 1929.

The summit borders two national parks: Karkonoski National Park in Poland and Krkonošský National Park in the Czech Republic.

The mountain's northeastern side contains a glacier basin called Agnetendorfer Schneegrube, where the Schneegrubenwasser stream originates.

GPS coordinates: 50.78028,15.57833
