Sněžka

Krkonoše Mountains, Czech Republic (Czechia)

Sněžka is the highest mountain in the Czech Republic, standing at 1,603 meters (5,259 feet) and located in the Krkonoše (Giant) Mountains along the border with Poland.

Its summit is unique as the international border runs across it, with buildings from both countries present, including a chapel and weather observatory. The mountain is known for its striking three-sided pyramid shape formed by glacial erosion and offers panoramic views of both Czech and Polish landscapes.

It is a popular destination for hikers and tourists who can reach the summit either by marked trails or a cable car from the Czech side. The terrain at the top is rocky and tree-less due to harsh weather conditions, providing a distinct alpine environment. Sněžka combines natural beauty, historical landmarks, and accessibility, making it a cherished symbol of the Krkonoše Mountains and a highlight of Czech outdoor adventure.
