Tępy Szczyt, Mountain peak in Karkonosze National Park, Poland.
Kleines Rad is a mountain peak in the Karkonosze range at an elevation of about 2091 meters (6857 feet). The summit features granite rock formations and a relatively flat top that provides views across the surrounding ridge system.
The peak was shaped during the Ice Age when glaciers carved out the surrounding mountain landscape. The granite formations reveal traces of these ancient geological processes that molded the range over millions of years.
The peak serves as a meeting point for hikers and mountaineers who gather here to share their passion for the mountains. It holds meaning as a destination where visitors connect with the natural landscape and local outdoor traditions.
The peak is accessible year-round via marked hiking trails, though the warmer months offer the most pleasant conditions for the walk. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and bring sturdy footwear and rain protection for the exposed ridge.
The flat summit plateau creates specific weather conditions that allow rare mountain plants to flourish. This alpine plant life is specially adapted to the harsh conditions found only at this elevation.
