How to get to Pilgrims Rocks?

From Upper Karpacz, below the Wang Temple, we can take the main paved road to Śnieżka to Polana (about 1 hour).

We pass through Polana on the yellow trail and after about 15 minutes of climbing, we reach the rocks.

From the other side of the yellow trail, we can also descend here from Słonecznik (about 30 minutes).

The Pilgrims can also be reached by the Reglami Path - green trail from the Odrodzenie and Przełęcz Sudecka shelter:
