stolowe mountain national park

The trail is closed for cars in winter, which puts off te mainstream tourists, but you can still explore it. Great for people seeking solitude in the mountains in winter. Excellent views, snowy forest, great hike.

We spent a marvellous afternoon on Szczeliniec, climbed our way up and eventually enjoyed some cold beer at the local hostel. We had never thought the sights can be so stunning! The fog which was as thick as milk was devouring the trees. You do not have to go into much overrated Tatry Mountains to enjoy such glorious sights!

Bledne Skaly and Strzeliniec is a must. Go in the morning will be less traffic and try to avoid big groups.

I am terrified of heights, stairs and enclosed spaces but I am extremely glad I did this trip. Its quite a trek getting up the mountain but its worth it for the view at the top, The path is well laid out with barriers along the way for the stairs and the path is wide enough for 2 people side by side, there are however some squishy places when coming back down the mountain. You can avoid the squashy parts by going down the mountain the same way you go up, there is a small fee at the top of the mountain to go down and see all the other parts of the mountain trail like hells kitchen and heaven, I strongky recommend doing the whole trip. It took myself and my partner around 4 hours altogether but we stopped a lot due to my fears. There is a restaurant at the top and there are little food and souvenier stalls at the bottom of the mountain, there are also WCs at both the top and bottom. Highly recommended.

I would never even guess there is something like this in a flat country like this. Beautiful trail from the Czech borders, stunning nature, nice views and lots of rocks. Do not miss this when you're nearby! Great day out.

... and quite easily accessible, does NOT require alpine equipement. Magnificent views, fantastically sculped rocks by the wind and water - worth to visit!

Stolowe Mountains is the main destination for travelers visiting Kudowa-Zdroj. The landscape is beautiful. Awesome views from from the top of Szczeliniec. Bledne Skaly - an interesting rock maze. You can pick and choose from many trails. The park is great for hiking, mountain biking, running. Also, very nice cross country ski trails. Recommended.

If you do not have a great stamina and you would like to see polish mountains this park is a perfect place for you.

Very pleasant walk/climb in this wooded and rocky natural area. Fresh and clean air. Steps and railings necessary in places while there was some bending and squeezing between boulders in other sections. At the top we enjoyed gluhwein at the Youth Hostel. Many other food/beverage choices available but it was cold that day. How many Youth Hostels have a view like this?!! Interesting rock formations and signposting good-Polish friends were translating into English. Car parked for a fee and to use toilets. *To the top could be difficult for some pre-teenagers.

There are not many different trails in the park, but all are well-marked. We enjoyed the various scenery (forest, boulders, cliffs, streams) although there was a sunny stretch towards the top of the mountain that was tough in the mid day heat. Mostly you will find Polish people traveling here. It is not a touristy location and almost nothing is marked in English, but it's not hard to read the maps which are located in the parking lots.

I like this place very much, we go there for a family trip every year. It´s a wonderful stone maze but only people without moving problems can visit it as it´s on a top of a mountain and there are many stairs.

Doskonałe miejsce na wędrówkę. Ja się udałem w góry wczesnym rankiem poza sezonem wiec byłem praktycznie sam na szlakach. Nie wiem jak to wygląda w godzinach szczytu

To nie jest miejsce na jeden dzień i krótki "wypad". Do tych miejsc można wracać wielokrotnie i za każdym razem jest się zachwyconym. Co ta przyroda potrafi stworzyć ? Samo piękno natury. Już sam dojazd na miejsca to niezła atrakcja. Wijąca się droga i osoby wyprzedzające tam gdzie absolutnie tego nie można się spodziewać. A na miejscu troszkę się trzeba pogimnastykować - Błędne Skały wymagają przeciskania się przez szczeliny a Strzeliniec obłędne wejście (szczególnie trudniejszą trasą) na szczyt. Dobrze jest rozdzielić te atrakcje na dwa dni. Polecam.

Szczeliniec: wędrówka na zmianę labiryntem skalnym, wąwozami, jarami, schodami prowadzącymi na tarasy widokowe lub w skalne szczeliny. Poziom trudności średni, zdarzają się strome miejsca, jednak daliśmy radę przejść z dużym (odważnym!) psem. Skalne grzyby: wycieczka po lesie z oglądaniem ciekawych form skalnych. Skalny labirynt: jak nazwa wskazuje, z przeciskaniem się przez wąskie szczeliny. Nie dla grubasów :)

Tak sie sklada,ze mieszkam w tych stronach.Co roku wedruje szlakiem po gorach i zawsze mi malo.Sa to przepiekne miejsca,sciezki miedzy skalami,niesamowite widoki na Karlow i Radkow.Bardzo polecam wszystkim traperom:)
