Wysoki Kamień

Hochstein is a granite summit in the Sudetes reaching about 1058 meters above sea level, marked by exposed rock formations visible from various directions. The slopes descend gradually in some places and more steeply in others, creating different landscape views.

Medieval merchants used pathways crossing the Sudetes near this summit as part of trade routes connecting Silesia and Bohemia. The location has served as an important landmark in the region for centuries.

Local visitors gather here throughout the year to enjoy the views and mark seasonal transitions in nature. The summit has become a meaningful place where people connect with the landscape and each other.

Several marked hiking paths lead to the summit from different sides, with the eastern route offering the easiest climb for beginners. Weather at the peak can change quickly, so visitors should prepare for wind and variable conditions near the exposed rock.

A small mountain shelter sits on the peak, offering visitors a place to rest and watch sunrises and sunsets in different lighting conditions. On clear days, the view stretches across the borders into neighboring regions.
