Szklarska Poręba and its surroundings - easy routes and trails for children

The main ridge of the Karkonosze Mountains is an ambitious goal for little feet! Climbing steep paths can take about 1.5-2 hours even for adult hikers.

Fortunately, we can make our journey easier by using the cable car to Szrenica.

A walk on the wide paths along the ridge will be easy and enjoyable for young children:
