Śnieżka is the highest peak of the Karkonosze and the entire Sudetes Mountains measuring 1602 m above sea level, rising 200 m above Równia pod Śnieżką. Most of the massif is built of very hard and resistant to destruction rocks called hornfels - metamorphic rocks, resulting from the transformation of shale as a result of the impact of intruding granite magma in the Carboniferous period. The Śnieżka peak is characterized by a very harsh climate, low temperature, even in summer, often with strong winds and considerable cloudiness. Śnieżka is considered the windiest place on the European continent. Snow cover stays there very long, almost 200 days a year. The following tourist routes lead to Śnieżka: - red - to the Okraj Pass and Równia pod Śnieżką - Road of Polish-Czech Friendship, - black - to Karpacz via the Silesian Road - blue - to the Okraj Pass through the Rock Table and to Karpacz through Mały Staw - yellow - Velká Úpa along the chair lift (Czech) On the top of Śnieżka there is the Chapel of St. Wawrzyniec, dating from 1681, as well as the IMGiW meteorological observatory.
