This
is the name of the mountain peak
overlooking the city, as part of the Central Crest of The Karkonosze
Mountains. Its altitude is 1362 m above
sea level and can be reached by a chair
lift from SKI ARENA at the foot of Szrenica. A well known mountain
hostel “Szrenica” welcomes tourists
at the top of the mountain covered by a granite disforest. Even
though Szrenica is not a high mountain it offers climatic and snow
cover conditions very similar to The Alpes at the altitude of 2000 m
above sea level, which provides excellent skiing conditions and well
functioning skiing infrastructure. 20 km
of ski pists along Szrenica slopes, as
well as the overall network of ski lifts, have been attracting
enthusiasts of white craze to Szklarska Poręba for years. Szrenica
also offers an excellent view point over Jelenia Góra Valley, The
Izery Mountains and The Kaczawskie Maountains. Next to the top there
are three interesting rock groups – Końskie
Łby [Horse
Heads], Szronowiec[Hoar-frosted rock],
Trzy Świnki [Three
Pigs].
Access: along red trail (Główny Szlak Sudecki [Main Sudeten Trail],or for less persistent tourists by a chair lift and about 10 min. walk along black trail. Northern and eastern slopes of Szrenica are traversed by a green trail from Hala Szernicka past Końskie Łby to the mountain hostel at the foot of Łabski Szczyt.
