Wielki Szyszak

Wielki Szyszak is a mountain on the border between the Czech Republic and Poland, in the central Silesian section of the main Karkonosze range. It rises directly above the village of Jagniątków and reaches 1509 m above sea level. Positioned between Śnieżne Kotły and Śmielec, it is a good spot for a mountain outing with wide-ranging views.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

• a ridge setting in the heart of the Karkonosze, with the summit lying on the Czech-Polish border;
• views and hiking opportunities between two well-known landmarks of the range: Śnieżne Kotły and Śmielec;
• a high-mountain atmosphere above Jagniątków, with the peak standing at 1509 m above sea level.

For a visit here, it is worth bringing sturdy shoes and checking the weather, as conditions in the Karkonosze can change quickly. This is a good choice for hikers looking for a shorter mountain trip or a scenic stop along a longer walk in the area.
